Rescuing Recordings from a Dead HDR-FOX

:roflmao: I can just imagine the look on the face of a GenZ asking for WiFi being handed a RJ45!

You can also use it to reassign buttons and create macros. IR has far more capability than just provide a virtual RC!

WebIF >> Settings >> Setting for ir package >> Click here for options >> Block remote control mode change icons? = YES Simples. Same place to disable volume controls (for those wanting to reserve volume adjustments to the TV).

BE AWARE that end padding takes priority over new recordings, so if you're to free and easy with it you'll end up losing the beginning of subsequent recordings (on other channels, depending on the number of tuners in use).

They seem happy to blame communications problems for subtitling, when that requires far less bandwidth than the video!

That's as may be, but once people are using on-demand, each individual requires a stream and it can't be multi-dropped any more. So what are they going to do, store the last two weeks of every channel on a local server? I don't think so.

I don't know, but the Freely advertising says "no need for an aerial, just WiFi", which is the same as Sky Glass. All well and good while the numbers are low, but I can't believe there is enough bandwidth to cope with mass adoption. I think the same about cars with radar: fine while there's...

What's going to happen if suddenly everyone goes over to Freely instead of their aerial (as our government seem to want)? Where's the Internet bandwidth coming from?

I've had a similar experience today. I was in a pub with several screens about the place, and got interested in the show jumping coverage on TNT (I presume carried by Sky). It was just coming up to the jump-off (where it gets exciting) and the channel got changed! Some prat in another bar not...

From a long time ago (but nowhere near as long as we've known about this): Two work-arounds: 1. Set HDR-FOX audio to stereo not multichannel; or... 2. Set HDR-FOX volume to max and only control volume using the TV's remote.

"Possibly"? Yeah, right. Sounds like flannel.

Perhaps not, but if you can persuade your neighbours to buy one you can save money by watching theirs.

Ask ChatGPT.

Shame there's nothing I particularly want right now!
