It's the drive out of the old unit with the custom firmware reloaded . Working fine so far and just as before it went wrong

Thanks all. It was a hardware problem. I have swapped the HDD to another and all is fixed now

That is a good idea. I am away this weekend but will try both of those when I am back :thumbsup: Although I have repaired boards to component level 30 years ago I was rubbish at doing that so if it proves to be a component I will swap out the humax

What about the other way round? Record BBC One (LCN 1, DVB-T mux.) and view BBC One HD (LCN 101, DVB-T2 mux.). That works fine but I think it must be a hardware fault so I am going to get my hands on another hdr-fox t2 and try to put my existing hard drive into it to save my recordings or I...

Yes, that's a desktop drive. It would be useful to check the alignment is correct by running the 4kalign diagnostic (which I've just found out doesn't work properly if you have virtual-disk2 installed). Sorry I will need to look up how to run 4kalign as I have never done that before and I don't...

I didn't send the rest of the screen shot as I wasn't sure that this was the correct thing to post ? here is the complete story so to speak in 3 screen shots , I hope there is something in there that gives some clues

I suspect you are correct about the hard drive not being optimised for a PVR but on the other hand this hard drive has been in it and working OK since well before lock down so probably about 3 - 4 years now

Yes only a problem when viewing through the Humax and now I have stopped the long smart test I just confirmed that I lose ITV while recording BBC1 BUT while recording BBC1 I can switch to the built in TV tuner and ITV is fine

I have not replied because the long smart test takes forever and I cancelled it in the end. The second part of your post sounds possible to be honest which would mean that it isn't possible to fix

Sounds good then hopefully? No problem with sending the Disk Information report but could you help me with how to do that? Is it this bit??

i'm no expert at all but it all looks OK so the only thing I can thing of at the moment is the tuner is faulty perhaps?

I think the hard drive looks OK and both tuners are showing 100% quality and 82% signal on both . I just did another test by just pressing record on bbc1 and this then "lost" itv1 and ch4 with a message saying that the signal was too low. As soon as I stopped recording bbc1 the other channels...

I am running the tests at the moment suggested and will post the results. I didn't explain that very well but I have 3 other TVs and another 2 x humax's (same model) in other rooms on the same aerial and none of those are giving a problems so it has to be something to do with the Living Room...

Hi All, I have an HDR -Fox T2 with custom software and all has been great for years but recently while browsing channels the signal has been so bad it is unwatchable. I thought it was a problem with the aerial or the aerial cable had been unplugged but after some experiments I have found that...

Thanks for the info and I will give it a go as this is also a new unit as well. It's working OK on traditional now so I will install chaseget, swap to that and try it out as I can always swap back . Cheers
