SQL lite is like MS Access (Jet Engine) db, ie a desktop db thats self contained when compared to ISAM files like Clipper, Dbase and others that rely on desktop apps & their respective runtimes to maintain the file structures. So it does help keep that data tidier and makes it easier to update a...

Hi Black Hole Yeah using a DB like SQLLite, to serve webpages is a fairly common technique. SQL Lite has the added benefit it can be run on a a few different OS'es and its got a nice small footprint compared to other DB's like MySQL.

Hi Martin It is interesting, fortunately the pages on the XDA link also contains some quite detailed attempts on the roku and nowtv which will probably translate to the humax's I have here but I even found a nice paper link in the thread: eprint. iacr. org/2012/296.pdf titled" In the blink of...

As I also have a Roku and NowTv to mess around with, looking into them it seems the Roku is employing similar encryption techniques if this thread is anything to go by: forum. xda-developers. com/t/flash-now-tv-box-with-roku-lt-firmware.2384435/page-3 This comment caught my eye "The nand dump...

Hi Black Hole, I've not really decided what the best way is at the moment, but I know from decades of coding, there is always more than one way to skin a cat. :) I'll go through Raydons firmware hpkg. tv/foxsat/raydons_Media_and_File_Server_Bundle_for_the_Foxsat_HDR_release_4.1.3.rar and see...

Hello Black Hole. Not trying to cause offence here but other half got given a load of 1st gen devices, including some Humax devices so I've trying to figure out their capabilities. So the idea I have being an ex-Media Portal 1 user from the mid-00's using DVB-S2 (freesat) is to see if I can...

So when searching for "custom firmware" I found this thread Cross compiling (anything) from Debian Wheezy to the HDR | hummy.tv (hummy. tv/ forum/ threads/ cross-compiling-anything-from-debian-wheezy-to-the-hdr.5229 /#post-147580) and I managed to find this wiki link Compile Software for the...

I see there is some customised firmware for some of the Humax machines, I wondered if this firmware source code is available to anyone and if so where could I find it, github perhaps? I've got given a Foxsat HD rev 1.0 and a BT-T1000 (DTR-T1000) freeview box and I was wondering what would be...
