I haven't run fixdisk for over 2 years. Sloppy I know. I'm not aware of any problems - but of course that is the problem in a way. Anyway, I'm now on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and I find Telnet has gone and I can't yet discover a way of getting it back. Has anyone in a similar position been able to...
I appreciate that the information I request is already here somewhere, but finding the most up to date and reliable account is difficult (and/or perhaps I'm being lazy).
I have 3 HDR T2s each with CF installed. Two are used occasionally. The third became a spare some time ago. I have wired...
After a number of problems with one of my HDR-FOX T2 boxes I carried out a factory reset today and this seems to have put things right. I then reloaded CFW 1.03.12 mod 3.13. After the firmware had downloaded and programming had completed I removed the USB stick and pressed Standby on the remote...
I have recently changed my setup for various reasons - mainly to reduce technical clutter. My main HDRT2 was connected by HDMI to my main TV (Loewe). I have now moved it to another room where is has a wired connection to my home network but is not connected to a TV or aerial. I am using it to...
Last night I attempted to delete a folder - "Flowers" - containing four episodes but it just seemed to hang with the "deleting" message. I ignored it and watched another recorded programme. When that finished (about an hour later) I checked again and found that although the Flowers folder was...
I know that there is a lot of information in the forums about installation and use of large drives and I appreciate that I might be able to find the answer if I searched this more diligently - so apologies in advance for seeking enlightenment the lazier way.

I had problems with my HD and one step I took trying fix them was to format again on the Humax. I encountered the "too big to format" issue and got round this by setting the box to RMA mode. The drive kept showing an error 8 however. I installed a new drive (a Seagate pipeline 2TB). I then...
I have 3 x 1TB external USB 2.0 drives each formatted as NTFS. I have for some time used them without difficulty to copy both to and from the HDR T2.
Finally got round to purchasing a 2TB USB 3.0 drive - one suggested by hairy_mutley in another thread...
I have read the section on external drives in "Things Every HD-FOX T2/HDR-FOX T2 Owner Should Know" and am aware of the potential problems and uncertainties associated with external USB3./with USB 2.0 fall-back, drives without their own power supplies.
Nevertheless, can anyone recommend such a...
Can anyone recommend or comment on software to edit .ts files effectively on a Mac?
I have read the wiki entry on editing but that is PC specific. I am looking for something more precise than Nicesplice that can (quoting from the wiki entry) :
Take native *.ts files (SD and HD) as downloaded...
I created a folder on the HDR-T2 and transferred some .m4v files to it from a Macbook using ftp (very fast by the way).
The folder and its files show and and the files play properly on the Humax.
Connecting by webif from the Macbook I see the folder in media/My Video with the expected size...
I've used "Alias files" as a convenient title, but as I may be barking up a red herring, I'll describe what I want to achieve.
I have a large number of movies files mainly in the formats .avi .mp4 and .m4v. They are stored on an external USB drive and all play on my HDR-FOX T2.
The Humax...
I have been copying recordings from one HDR Fox T to another - both running CF (one is 2.15 the other 2.22).
Most were copied from the Humax A to a portable USB drive and then from that USB drive to Humax B. These all seem to play fine on box B.
The rest were copied by removing the HDD from...
For various reasons I removed the original 1TB drive from a box running 1.02.32 and copied files off it. I then reinstalled it and wanted to delete everything on it. I decided that the quickest way would be to reformat the drive. Going via Menu - System - Data Storage - Internal HDD - Format...
I appreciate that there are several threads on this subject, but I can't find anything entirely up to date and definitive - not surprising given the changing permutations.
Anyway, I'm thinking of upgrading my hard drives and would like to set down my understanding of the process to follow in...
As the HDR FoxT2 seems to be reaching end of life, I wondered if it might be useful to have a thread where current or recent for sale sightings can be listed.
I appreciate that it is a changing picture.
There are usually several up on e-bay. I've seen the cautions about making sure they are...
Is there any way of recording directly to an attached USB drive (rather than recording to the Humax drive then copying across)? I suspect the answer is "No" or there would be some mention here.
I have the customised firmware installed. I have been archiving recordings to an external USB drive formatted on the Humax HDR and am just about to run out of space on it. I have another USB drive formatted as NTFS on a Mac (using paragon). I have been ripping some of my DVDs to this second...
I hope I'm correct in posting this in the Customised Firmware (for which many thanks to all those involved) forum.
I have used the application Handbrake to rip some of my own DVDs on a Mac to an NTFS formatted USB drive. The files were ripped as .m4v files and when the drive is connected to...
