I suspect this one is for the tip!

It's yours! I am very flexible regarding collection; daytime, evenings or weekends.

I have two old HUmax Freeview PVR's that I owned from new, purchased from Humax Direct, but are no longer used. Both PVR's power up but I cannot guarantee how well, if at all, they are working. I believe The Fox T2 has the 500GB HDD but it might be 1TB HDD. I can't remember what size HDD is...

I was thinking of 'upgrading' to a 500T from my old FoxT2 as the 2TB version is only £139 (click and collect) at Argos. Once I carried out a custom system update (helpfully suggested through this forum) on my T2 the noisy fan/HDD (not sure which it was) was fixed and the box seems to run fine...

I have downloaded the Customised Firmware. Followed the instructions and now when I turn on the Fox T2 it displays Custom Firmware 3.03 on the front panel briefly on start up. However when I go into the system settings information it tells me that the firmware is still 1.03.12. Is that correct?

So what hard disk options do I have?

I asked Western Digital! You're quite a spiky fellow.

Apparently the Western Digital Purple Hard Drives are suitable too and available in lots of different capacities.

If I did go for a replacement model I would look at official Humax 'refurb' from their website. This is where I got my current Fox T2 and the 9300 I...

I have a 1TB HDR FoxT2 which is becoming increasingly noisy which I think is the hard drive rather than the fan. I am getting concerned therefore that it might be on its way out. Options I am considering are Replacing the HDD in the FoxT2. Is this easy to do and what HDD should I be looking...

Many thanks for the info. Dave

Just did a full auto retune and now have BBC3HD but not BBC4HD. I receive from the Mendip transmitter. Is this right or should I be getting BBC4HD as well? Dave

A successful and straightforward upgrade just performed. many thanks. Dave

Bit disappointed with the 'extras' available through the portal unless I'm missing stuff or there is a way of adding to it. I just have BBC iPlayer, Youtube, Picasa, Flickr, Wiki TV and internet radio. Am I short of anything? David

Is this an easy process? I'm not a particularly technically adept person but if it's reasonably easy to do I'm prepared to have a go. Is there a thread on this forum somewhere that I can find instructions? David
