This is getting really ridiculous now. Whilst watching tonight's BBC national news I got 6, yes 6 invites to watch in HD. Then at 22:30 when the news went local to South Today a minute in I got another invite to watch in HD.
Now that's interesting because at 22:30 BBC transmissions in my...
Yes, I'm totally aware of that fact, I spent 25 years working for BBC television as a technician. My Humax T2 only flagged up the option once, at the beginning of the program and so does My Humax Foxsat HDR likewise, only once. However my Humax FVP-5000T flags up the option 4 or 5 times during...
That's surprising. In the many years I had a T2 it performed faultlessly. I only bought one on the recommendation of my neighbour who had discovered the very early beginnings of the CFW. In all I had 3 T2's. One new and one manager's special refurbished and 1 second hand from eBay. None of...
I'm becoming more and more disenchanted with the 5000T since my T2 went down a week ago.
Yet another 'very' irritating problem has raised its head.
Searching through the EPG I'll spot a film I'd like to record so I'll click OK in the listing and I'm offered, 'Record this program', NOT 'Record...
Interesting post. I have exactly the same stuttering problem with my FVP-5000T. Audio isn't affected, only video. I too will change to 1080p and report back in a few days or so.
Last night I had 3 programmes scheduled to record. When I came to view them all 3 started about 2 minutes late or so, well into the programmes. Did anyone else have this problem? Past recordings in the week started recording on time. My PVR recording start and end are set to Auto (No...
This is getting ridiculous, "Watch in HD" has just come up 4 times in the opening sequence of Eastenders. Has anyone mentioned this to Humax and if not has anyone got a contact number for them?
I do sometimes watch in HD but at 3M (10 feet) viewing on a Philips 40" PFL9705H I can't really see the difference due to my eyesight not being as good as it used to be. (Gave up driving a year ago for this very reason.)
We don't all have 20/20 vision or live in an area where the local...
Just bought a new FVP-5000T to replace my Humax T2 which eventually died. Quite like the extra tuners but it's a step backwards compared to the T2 in many ways and of course no CFW. What's really T'eeing me off is it is constantly flashing up "Watch in HD" (where available). Not just once at...
I'm obviously going to have to revisit the documentation as I appear to have been doing it wrong all these years!
To copy programmes from either my Foxsat or T2 I've been opening 'Network' from the 'Start' button and the devices listed under 'Computer(2)' would be the computer itself and which...
Hopefully this question won't drive you to distraction!
Firstly, 'yes' I have read your very useful articles about the T2 CFW and have been using the CFW almost since it's inception to great effect and this is also a question about transferring from a T2 to an FVP-500T
A few months ago my T2...
DB(LB)? - or shouldn't I ask! Couldn't find my V23 modem but did find 2 V90 modems at (then) a blistering 56K, complete with 3.5 inch floppy installation disc! Think I made a mistake saying 'Bytes' when it should have been bits!
This thread has gone so off topic that I feel it's time for some fun!! Does anyone out there remember the BBC series called "Edge of Darkness"? I was the sound engineer on the programme and was asked to produce some realistic sound for communications over the then infant Internet which I did...
I think the Queen album was about 15 years ago. A time before the mania for 'flat lining' the recording but I do take your point about playing music in a (noisy) car.
Yes, we played around with binaural sound at the BBC but it had limited appeal as one needs headphones to get the best out of...
Thank you all. If you want to experiment with 'replaying' the Blumlein method of recording true 'phase coherent' stereo you need to do the following. (might be teaching you to suck eggs here but I'll give it a go). You'll need two small speakers. They don't need to be really special and don't...
Thank you for your observations; absolutely right of course (as I have come to expect!). Just for your amusement a little history may be useful. My current system consists of 2 Humax devices, a Denon DVD player, a Sony Blue Ray player and a Topfield recorder all still working perfectly! My...
Everyone back in their own bedz. I stumbled on the answer in another forum. Digital output on my T2 now set to 'Stereo' (was multi channel) and it now works fine.
Apologies for wasting time.

I have bought a digital to analogue converter as my hi-fi system doesn't have a digital input but it doesn't work when connected to a high definition source. (Freesat, Freeview).
I have tried connecting it to both my Philips 40PFL9705 television and my Humax Fox T2 HDR set top box, both of which...
Thank you af123, worked well, instant solution after upgrading to 1.4.6 and running 'rs/diskpush' As I imagine you intended, I was flagged to upgrade a few moments ago when I logged into my T2.
My only concern now is if my T2 gives up the ghost as I rely heavily on its custom firmware and the...
