Oh, I see... (like heck :laugh: ) Thank you, Black Hole, I shall revisit your answer if the problem recurs on something important.

This is a fairly new second-hand HCR-Fox T2. I've noticed it once or twice before but I can't remember if it happened to the same programme, which is on series record. Programme title in Media - Video: How to Get Ahead at Renaissance____20200826_0031.ts 00:32 26/08 The thumnail shows a strip...

I have to tell you the tale... Everything went wrong in quick succession... First the Audio system, then the TV, then the Hummy* :( All in the thick of Covid-19 lockdown :eek: The audio I decided to live without, the TV was replaced with a cheapo smart one (as there are no new plasmas) and...

Thank you, you "Usual Suspects", you ;) I shall do the refresher course, Black Hole, as soon as I can.

The box turned itself off after the 04:19hr period, and when I powered on via the remote control it loaded the Humax logo, brief green screen, then slowly loaded BBC Red Button page. Media loads normally, MotD2 playing normally.

I didn't see your post, Trev - thank you. I'm really not in a position even to get it out of its hole, let alone open it up. Am really up against it. "Normal" for this HDD is, as said, as if a fairy drummer lives there. Muffled drumming of fingers since Day1. I don't mind buying a new PVR...

What a surprise! It just came to life @ the 04:19hr avoid-any-changes time. Here I am on the BBC Red Button channel. Do you have any advice, taking that into account?

I had been having occasional crash/reboot cycles like OldWindmill but not for a while. Tonight the box wouldn't boot. I am always busy doing something else at the same time, so don't necessarily see the sequence of events. Switched off at the back, left it for a good many minutes, switched...

I'll give that a try first, BH :)

Thank you, 4291, I did send it to him immediately, even phoned him to tell him it was sent. BTW, it was very satisfying to be able to do that because he's so sarcastic about my lack of Google skills (I didn't claim to have found it myself, I forwarded the forum alert email). Ezra - thanks for...

10 decent pictures of "my own" ospreys won't be easy because the webcams are poor quality. If I come up with them I will PM you, Ezra. In the meantime - if I try out one of the existing screensavers and then remove it, will it automatically revert to the Humax one? Thank you!

That'll do, BH :) I tried to convince myself I'd seen it before but Google hasn't so I can't fool myself ;)

Not starlings, more like butterflies, sweeet! :D (The kids would like that too, BH.) I do like the larger version in the countryside, not the seaside one. A screensaver would not be wasted on me cos I frequently have to spend a lot of time on pause. Waiting now to see what you come up with...

I was on the phone to a friend when I saw the email alert re your post, so I told him about it... one thing led to another and we got onto flocks of starlings - you know, that fantastic display they make whilst getting ready to roost. Well, he said that Richard Dawkins said that the same effect...

Ezra, I can imagine how annoyed they were :mad: Thanks for the pointer, af123, it is as I thought :( Maybe one day :rolleyes: (that's a "pigs might fly" smiley).
