I can tell you whose post was the most helpful, since I am the one who hadn`t a clue and needed some helpful direction. Thanks again Trev. I`m sure there are things each of us knows like the backs of our hands, but to others it might as well be directions written in an unknown foreign language...

Back again. The proverbial bad smell!! Whilst writing my last reply, I had not seen your post Trev. After posting I gave it a try and it worked. A senile idiot passes sincere thanks. It would not run from within chrome, but no problem in Firefox. Interestingly, and perhaps the answer to my query...

Thanks for all the guidance, suggestions and pointers. Clearly my problem accessing webif has not a simple resolution and finding out about Telnet is a sledgehammer to crack a nut for me. This is where I am up to. 1) Latest CF installed a number of times - all as per hummy.tv instructions...

Yes, looks exactly like this. Whichever browser I type the Fox ip address into this is the dialogue box I get. Saw the comment about Telnet, but what little expertise I have tends to be on windows OS, so such a comment goes over my head. I would imagine I needed to open this telnet dialogue from...

CF and Webif installation I followed the instructions in "http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Install_Modified_Firmware" to install the firmware and messages indicated this was succesful. I then used the link at the bottom of that to take me to the webif installation and used Firefox to access the...

Account problem was that although I had accessed it to ask my question, when I got into problems last night, I tried to log in and realised I had forgotten my password (or username or both!) and could not get in whatever I tried. I couldn`t just click "forgotten password" because the username I...

Looks like I`ve made a complete mess of it all. I loaded the CF3 firmware, following instructions and got a successfully downloaded message. I then moved on to webif and all appeared to work, except when I scrolled down the page to see what had loaded there were some failures, though I didn`t...

Thanks for your rapid response, again, Black Hole. As soon as I saw your comment that what I claimed to have done was not possible, I had to try what I did last night when trying to understand whether I was doing something wrong when the back To The Future wouldn`t copy and I believed I had...

Thanks for your rapid responses. The media list entry for the file shows the "ENC" box, but also a picture of a DVD with a red "X" on it. I have many other HD recordings with the "ENC" symbol and I can copy those to my usb stick and play on the computer using VLC player. Hence my assumption that...

Can anybody help? I recorded back to the Future III the other night in HD onto my HDR fox2. I would like to make a copy to move elsewhere, but when I try to pass it to a usb stick it advises that the film is COPY PROTECTED, so will not do it. My box has custom firmware and I can copy other HD...

Yeah, that threw me. After receiving your quick reply, I opened up the custom firmware download page and.... there was version 2.18, arghhhhh Anyway, went with 2.17 and its all done and things seem to be A.OK. Thanks again Briang

Thanks for your rapid response. I got twitchy about how to proceed after seeing the bold type in the instructions about getting the correct version of the custom firmware as I don`t understand linux and PVR programming. Briang

I am working through the process for custom software installation and am struggling to follow the instructions. I have firmware 1.02.29. When I view "Firmware Upgrade path" options, this version is listed for upgrading to 2.16 custom firmware "based on" both 1.02.29 AND 1.02.32. Which should I...
