I'm impressed with the depth of knowledge on this forum. Had it not been for the detailed advice and brainstorming here I would have probably replaced my Humax. Now it seems to be going as well as ever. Thanks again to all who pitched in with suggestions. I've really enjoyed fiddling about under...

Wow, amazing result team! The TV Portal is now working. Wonderful. As good as new! I have restored my wife's recording schedule, and all her recorded items are safe. Thanks in particular to Black Hole, and to prpr, af123, kevindickinson, Ezra Pound, Trev, and MartinLiddle for all the help and...

Got it, thanks, messages crossed. Working on it.

I am being a bit dumb now, sorry. I downloaded System Flush, put it on a USB, put it in the front of the Humax and rebooted. Not sure what to do next. Have had a look for it in Packages and Services, but can't find how to prompt it to reformat the flash.

Thanks, will have a go.

Great, have done the backup as instructed. Can't remember where to find that System Flush update. Could you resend the link to the Custom Firmware downloads page, please? Thanks

Hi Black Hole, I ran the test and copied everything over to a text file for expert eyes to study (attached). Tried the TV Portal again but it says it's still loading (the usual response - until that message clears).

Thanks Black Hole, I'll put the kettle on and get cracking. Will report back. Appreciate all this help. Amazing. David

Thanks for that suggestion. The first thing I did when installing the new hub was to turn off the Smart Setup.

Thanks for all the advice. I think I followed the instructions to the letter. The "Cannot format the storage due to an unknown error" comes up immediately after entering the password 0000. Screen grabs below. When you say "this is the only thing to try", does that mean that I have run out of...

Tried that. Got a message saying "Cannot format the storage due to an unknown error".

So if the Internet is okay, is there a setting I can twiddle with - now I have the nifty web interface working - in order to give the TV Portal a nudge to try to get it to buck its ideas up?

Hi Trev, yes the EPG shows up fine, grab attached.

Hi Martin, The settings on the screen when I press menu/settings/system/internet settings/configure LAN read... IP Address = 192.168.1.72 Netmask = 255.255.255.0 Gateway Address = 192.168.1.254 DNS Address = 192.168.1.254 Although when I check on the web interface using my IP address, one of...

Hi prpr, no, I am not familiar with Telnet or Webshell. Are these things I can do without causing any damage to the Humax? At the moment my wife has loads of stuff recorded and, although she can't access the TV Portal anymore, she doesn't want to risk losing her recordings. David
