    Failed recordings - and more!

    Yes. It broke on my iPad Safari until I (reluctantly, for other reasons) updated iPadOS, and they changed the UI... but I bookmark directly to my "unpublished" gallery so I avoid most of the social media stuff. (Other forums I use won't host images.)

    Gold Plating

    Anybody know anything about it / can do it? I have some rotary switches with silver contacts (can't get anything else in low quantity) and I want to increase their reliability. I've seen videos about how it can be done, but the chemicals are expensive for a tiny one-off job (and kits...

    What OS are you using? It almost certainly has a built-in Telnet client that might just need enabling, no need for PuTTY. You find Imgur easier to use than direct attachment??? Eek. The only reason I can think of is you don't have to worry about the file size.

    I downloaded and installed PuTTY on one of my machines only yesterday, so I don't know what you're doing wrong... you need the x86 .msi installer file (32-bit should work even on 64-bit), then running it will install the executables etc. I'm pretty sure that's where I got it from. Your...

    HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

    Just don't let it access the network except for your PVR functions... or more to the point don't let the network access it.

    Failed recordings - and more!

    Sounds to me like it needs a good clean up! Have you done all the normal stuff, eg fix-flash-packages and fixdisk? Or even just a simple reboot?? One of the points of having CF is to be able to maintain the HDR-FOX with more comprehensive tools than Humax provide as standard, but if you're...

    ITVBe closing down and being replaced by ITV Quiz

    Watching repeats of game shows is only marginally better than watching repeats of sporting events. Once the outcome is known, it seems Pointless.

    Decrypting and Saving Original

    It's only there if you've installed the undelete package. Which is why:

    Decrypting and Saving Original

    I *think* it's normal for manual decrypt to save a backup of the original, so I don't know why it wouldn't be doing that now. However, it's possible the setting for auto-processing has some influence, even for manual operations: WebIF >> Settings >> Auto-Processing Settings >> Create backup...

    HDR 1000S 500gb HDD Failure

    By not quoting the post, nor tagging @JimB, you've done nothing to alert him to your query (don't worry, I've done it for you).

    Indeed the (relevant) experts probably do (or can find out), but you'll just have to wait for one to come along...

    Something could be preventing undelete working, you might need a reboot or a fix-flash-packages. Or perhaps it doesn't handle zero-length .ts vey well.

    Failed recordings

    You want to know what the problem was but you deleted the evidence? :sleep: Recordings do not only comprise the .ts file. The .ts may have been zero length, but the .hmt file still contained information. Sometimes a reboot works wonders, but could it be as simple as the disk being full?

    Stuck RMA

    The usual problem is the UPD itself: if it is slow to start up after USB +5V comes online after boot, it misses the detection window for firmware update. Are you using UPDs you've used for firmware update before? I have one on reserve that is known to work. Modern large UPDs are much slower...
