As I suspected then. :thumbsup:

She currently has my old 9200T, but apparently she now wants an upgrade (I dunno why, I haven't asked). I use a HDR-T2, which has been going well for 5 years or so. Shame they don't do 'em any more. Anyway, my sister wants a new box. She doesn't have internet, nor is she likely to, so I don't...

Freeview Play to launch in October (for those who didn't know, but the link is a few weeks old now): http://www.freeview.co.uk/articles/news-and-features/blog-post/freeview-play-to-launch-next-month-2.html I tried to talk my folks into getting a FVP (Is that the acronym we'll use?) Panny TV in...

A few days on, and no problems, so the tools did the job. Many thanks again for the support :)

I've done a fix-disk -x-c and a long self test. We'll see how it goes now. Incidentally, after the fix-disk -x-c (friday night) the box seemed to operate well for over an hour on saturday. So fingers crossed :)

Thanks guys, I'll do a full fix-disk overnight tonight, and report back. I have more confidence in the HDD, hopefully I don't end up with other failing hardware! I was following BH's guide, I think I did most of it based on the the initial symptoms (Section 2).. which led me to the telnet...

I've been experiencing problems that appear to have come on rather suddenly. (relating to the HDR-T2.. in case you think I'm going to get rather personal!) Symptoms are: Playback of recorded programmes: Humax crashes, reboots (says CRASHING on front display, or similar). This occurs at a random...

Thanks, tis what I hoped (well it's not, but if it was possible I thought I could have found a link to if it did!)

Is it possible to set unwatched flags on files on my external hdd? As I understand it, the Humax uses the HMT file to decide what is watched or not, but these files do not exist for non-ts files. The only thing created is the HMI file which is a stripped down version of the HMT file. I thought...

Excellent. We'll start off by keeping AR, and ensuring that the box is switched off on the right channel prior to anything being recorded. We can do this as we'll record kids stuff in the mornings on S4C, and any evening time stuff we can organise properly (all this being looked at now before Y...

Obviously my search terms weren't that good. OK, so possible with major caveats. Will have to discuss it with the missus. Still, had word from S4C last night that it is imminent that all their content will be on iPlayer (i.e. through the portal, not via their website to Clic, the S4C catchup...

I know there are issues when you try to tune in channels from two transmitters. The issue usually lies in the recording of programmes, iirc. However, if I tuned (for example) PSB2 from one transmitter, and the remaining muxes from a different transmitter, would there still be a problem? Also...

Nope, not until you mentioned it, and then I went and saw the option for myself. So all is well and good. Copying using the box will be better from a batch perspective (though the auto-decrypt could now be used as I gain more familiarity with the CFW), but good to learn about other options too...

vlc. it won't open in avidemux. What I may have done wrong is cut/paste from within the cfw browser, and not on the box itself. Could this break it?

It must be a simple issue... I am copying the files from the PVR onto a USB HDD, then copying from the HDD to my PC so I can edit/reencode. But why do the files not play back on my PC when doing this? The files are not HD. The files appear not to be otherwise encrypted (hmt file address...
