What we (well, Linux-phobes) need is a Christmas present in the form of this (which has been pending since last December): In summary, Linux non-users can: Use the stripts build for Windows, which requires Cygwin installed; Use the HFODU utility, which requires the Java runtime environment...

Just try doing an ffmpeg conversion to MP4 without re-encoding, see what happens.

There is no null key, due to the nature of the 3DES algorithm (which is a slightly different answer than the above). There would be, if the resistance to trying a bootable Linux were not so difficult to overcome. I mean, it would be a handy tool, it would save a couple of steps if stripts were...

That's a waste of a gigabit port, unless that's all there is!

That wasn't rude (unless you call the occasional swear word rude), it was a voicing of what a lot of us will be thinking. But in any case, as a reaction to you being obtuse? Justified. Newbies' Guide It doesn't sound like it, but the only way to be sure is to take the HDD out and examine it...

It's no good using your own colloquial terms if you want anyone else to understand WTF you're talking about. Sounds to me like the button is stuck on the remote, and the improvement after reset is just coincidence.

And now it's a re-rerun. Just got to the end, then started again from Episode 1. (I didn't realise the first series was in B&W – I suppose it was the early days of colour broadcasting in the UK, and no doubt it was much cheaper to produce in mono.)

I shouldn't think so, unless the quality of the information improves.

There is no harm in having your Foxsat on the same network as your PC. It's not like the Foxsat is phoning home to China!

It is and it seems foolhardy to have discarded it. The 2.5" HDD could equally well have sat in the caddy, or even been secured to it. What airflow? Only convection, and that is unlikely to be sufficient. The fan cools the HDD and the SoC. I suggest you monitor the temperature reported by...

So... what about the fan?

I think that would be useful.

It isn't? Does it? Only if you have more in-depth knowledge I suppose.

Parsing the synopsis is the only way (SFAIK), so yes it is channel dependent ('cos not all channels provide that detail). The only alternative is to try TV Diary, which (I think) consults online databases.
