If its on single tv then perhaps it or the Humax just getting to much rf into it. There might not be anything wrong with the transmission itself. Get as much distance as you can between the transmitting aerial & the tv aerial for a start. And keep the co-axial cables apart.

I had this message when i accidentally shorted the 5v supply that goes to to the usb socket. It was when i swapped the front panel to that from a dtr-t1010 & didn't notice the socket on the main board had been rotated by 180. After sorting that out it was good again. So if you see it & are...

I used the cutting the top off the cap method because i feared damaging the board. My cutters are very small & sharp. But i just found a scrap humax board (DTR-T1010) with similar caps & used a gentle twist backwards & forwards & got good results on each cap. I didnt force anything & just...

I wonder if my ones are the real deal?

I got them from a well known market place , cost me £1.10 for 5 - 4.7uf 63v 105c Low ESR Radial Size 5mmx11mm Nichicon

My caps arrived & its working just fine now.

I have the cap off without any disasters happening. This bit worried me as i have struggled with smd removal before. My solution was to snip the top off of the cap in several goes with a very small pair of wire cutters & cut the side of the can, clearing out the insides & snipping the leads...

I have just received an HDR Fox T2 that is in a boot loop when the hdd is connected. The HDD seems okay on my pc. System flush & reinstalling the firmware hasnt fixed it but it will work with a 2.5 inch drive & if i connect the original hdd using a usb dock i can access the files on it. That...

Indeed, i often find the same layout but what the pins in the plug & socket are used for can change. I have no idea why they did this change but ive read that the DTR-1010 can also be a DTR-1000 mainboard with the nice silver front panel. That could mean there are differences between the same...

I have used a front panel from a DTR-T1010 on an HDR Fox T2 but it wasn't a straight swap. The front usb was wired differently at the plug end, the data lines & also +5v & ground were swapped round. Dont just plug it in or it might hurt something. The board was marked DTR T-1010 New CPU B /D...

Yes, i have this too. For some reason the transfer rate on those 500gb sky drives is limited to 1.5gb/s I think that may have something to do with it. Its not done with a jumper so its stuck like that unless someone knows how to change it? Other sky hdds seem to work ok for me.
