May I explain the case: prpr has (helpfully, in my view) linked the Wiki, which google readily returns. Linking the (more elusive in my experience as presented earlier) advanced packages is at least symmetrical.

It did help, many thanks. If @prpr would like to update his first post, it may help others too.

Thanks for the update. I would like to learn how to do that, rather than using the stick. I had a look on the web interface and couldn’t find this package neither under installed, nor under available. I run auto-update and indeed on accessing the web interface I had loads of notifications, but...

Thank you both very much. I should be quite happy that this was the first time in the many years I have been running Hummies that this happened, then. I will take a look at Black Hole’s list at some point.

A couple of days ago, starting my Hummy led it to "reinstall itself": it started with the "WIZARD" on the front display, and it scanned for channels etc. When restarted, it had lost its schedule. I read the firmware version wrong and thought it had lost the custom firmware, so I reinstalled it...

@florca was great to deal with. I look forward to using his Humax to replace mine over the holiday season.

I will not be a nuisance: if @florca is happy to post, it should be their choice (and my pleasure) to PM me.

If this is the case, happy to negotiate something that works for @florca. Are discussions meant to be public on this thread?

Many thanks for doing that. Would you be willing to pass on to me the 2TB one with a fully working remote (mine is broken)? I am south of Edinburgh, so I would need postage, unfortunately. Is this a forum rule, or a helpful suggestion?

It says the following: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Jan 12 2015 /mod/boot/newk.conf I am wondering if the error was before fix-flash-packages did its magic.

And it looks like I am sorted. Many thanks everyone!

I connected with telnet, put it in maint mode, ran fix-flash-packages; does the following cause concern: Configuring newk. Collected errors: * file_md5sum_alloc: Failed to open file /mod/boot/newk.conf: No such file or directory. Full report below. Enter the diagnostic name (or press return...

Thanks bottletop. I doubt I have recordings on B since May; not a big issue if I do. I will do the check you are suggesting. Re network shares automount, doubtful I had taken initiative; only if it's an option that is recommended on the doc. I will see what [Mod Settings] are and where to...

Doesn’t the fact that box A plays the box B recordings tell us that these used to have the same key? Thank you prpr. I will do a search, see how I can run the diagnostic. Re USB, the two devices are connected to the same network switch (which connects to my router). I cannot remember what else...

For the umpteenth time in so many years, thanks for making time for my queries. Indeed B had its default key. On box B, I pasted in Settings->Advanced Settings->Encryption Key->Custom encryption key the box A key and rebooted box B using the WebIF; it still will not play my test files. Is this...
