I still run with Humax firmware v1.02.32 and CF v2.20. I never use the Portal ( let's be honest - it's pretty crap ) and for anything but live TV I stream from my iPad via appletv. So given that is there any convincing reason for me to update either firmware? The later Humax firmware doesn't...
Has anyone used this media player with the HDR? I installed it and upgraded to the pro version ( essential if you want to do anything ) and initially it looked good. It found the HDR and my NAS. It found the video folder and listed a number of files, though not all. But then when I try to play...
A few days ago I was watching a programme which I had paused a couple of times so I was maybe 15 minutes behind. A message appeared saying that recording of another programme on the same channel was about to start and did I want to cancel the delayed playback. I didn't really but the message...
I've noticed over the last week or so that the scrolling info display on BBC R3 and BBC R4 has stopped - R3 now simply says "Arts" and R4 says "Talk".
I'm assuming this is general and not just another fault in my Roberts radio. The cynic in me thinks that as it also means the current...
I've noticed that flatten sometimes leaves series folders behind after moving the contents out. This seems to occur if I start watching the programme before recording has finished and hence before flatten does it's thing. I also get a "failed recording" email from RS for the programme, though it...
This morning I received the following email:
At least one failed recording has been detected in your
media library. The following recording(s) failed:
/Sliver_20121218_2342
Bit baffled - it's not something I recognise or have booked. Also if the first numeric string is a date, why now? I...
There has been some discussion lately of the potential interference with Freeview from the new 4G services this year - maybe 2 million will be affected. Whilst it's too soon to tell who will be affected and how badly it set me to thinking about the worst case, an unusable HDR T2. If it came to...
I forgot to record University Challenge last night - never mind I thought, it'll be on iPlayer. Opened TV portal ( now with added ugly ) and selected iPlayer. Chose BBC2 and the date - funny, those don't look like BBC2 programmes. Indeed not, they were Cbeebies. Thinking I might have miss-keyed...
Is there any way to stream directly from an iPhone app such as Safari or 4OD to the HDR? I tried Twonky which simply caused the HDR to endlessly reboot. Imediashare works quite well but so far as I can see only streams it's own embedded channels ( little of interest ) or the phones stored files...
Having switched from a vintage TIVO to the HDR T2 about 6 months ago it now seems fair to make some general observations/comparisons. Some initial responses to the HDR were in hindsight just a normal response to any change after such a long time - eg I found the remote cluttered and prioritising...
This isn't a specifically HDR issue but as Homeplugs seem to be popular with users here this may be a useful warning.
I use Homeplugs for our base network with a number of wireless access points. Yesterday I lost the network connection in one room. The wireless was OK but the network could not...
Since Wednesday Youtube has been playing up. It loads OK, searches OK, lists matching videos and appears to load the selected one. Then the message "Temporary error - please try again" appears.
I'm guessing its not a Youtube end problem or a generic firmware issue or it would already have been...
On Wednesday I recorded Room at the Top by schedule, intending to watch it and if it was any good watch/record the second part. I didn't notice the second part was actually next day, rather than next week, until just before it started. I selected it in the epg and hit record ( it was shown as...
I sort of know the answer to this one but help me understand.
A couple of recordings failed on ITV3. I know I have to do a manual retune because I receive stations from two transmitters - I will get round to it, I promise. But the ITV3 station I use is in the normal range and has by far the...
...... and no doubt I'll be embarrassed when its answered. What does the stripy box on the top right corner of the screen signify? It occasionally appears for a while then goes. I can't relate it to anything I've done or that the HDR seems to be doing. Its obviously a hummy thing since this site...
I've just installed the custom firmware and a couple of packages including Remote Scheduling. I must say that although a little daunting to read about, the actual instal process is very smooth and the interface itself is excellent. I did wonder about the bit in the RS Wiki that reads "Go to the...
On Friday night I set Gardeners World and Parades End to record ( both on BBC2 HD on ch 54 ).
When I came to watch GW a message flashed up saying recording failed - no signal. At first I assumed some sort of transmission failure but instead of the blank screen I would have expected I was asked...
I've been playing around with networking the HDR, so far just to understand what can be done rather than with a clear use in mind. I'm a bit puzzled!
The HDR is connected to a Devolo plug by ethernet. My iMac ( OS X 10.4.11 ) is linked via airport and another Devolo at the other end of the...
A couple of nights ago I noticed an episode of Green Wing on late ( I think it was on More4 ). I hit record and selected whole series. The next day I checked and found the folder contained 5 files - the expected Green Wing plus 4 unwanted programmes, also allegedly comedies. I then checked the...
