No, I think you miss-understood: 1) it was ORIGINALLY set to DHCP and I saw that the IP was: 192.168.1.11 2) So, when playing around trying to get access, I used the same IP (192.168.1.11) when I set it to manual 3) Then, when you told me to put it back to DHCP, I checked it again and it was...

My router changed a long time ago, and since then, I have changed the Humax box to a new one. It was being allocated 192.168.1.11 by DHCP, so I gave it the same address when I put it on manually select IP address. Now I've put it back on DHCP, it is still on the same IP address. I'm gathering...

Thanks everyone for all those clues on how to go forward... It wasn't coincidence that the IP addresses were the same - is was originally set to DHCP and I saw the IP address (both from the router and from the Humax) was 192.168.1.11, and since I saw on some other thread about trying to fix the...

Thanks for that Black Hole... I've changed it back to DHCP in the settings of the HUMAX, then read off the IP address and typed it into my browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Edge - I tried them all) - and all say "This site can’t be reached. 192.168.1.11 refused to connect." "Try checking the...

Hello guys, I've had a Humax HDR-FOX T2 (and been a member of hummy.tv) for many years now and am ever so grateful for the help and advice I get on this forum. I've been using the custom firmware very happily for a while... I haven't needed to access the Humax for a long time, and it stopped...

I wonder if you guys can help: Today, my T2 said "format hard drive" (surprisingly). I didn't want to format the drive (and lose my recordings), so I turned it off (mains) and then back on. It seems to work okay. However, I ran the drive check (from the machine) and it stopped about 4/5 of the...

Thanks guys for this information: I was able to go ahead and order another HDR-Fox-T2 for the bedroom because of your help, and, out of the box, it will read files from the HDR in the lounge. I'll now tackle the detail of your advice to get them to work they way I want them to. Thanks again...

Hi humates, I currently have a HDR-Fox-T2 (CF installed) in the lounge and a HD-Fox-T2 in the kitchen connected over a network. It works a treat. I can watch full HD recordings stored in the box in the lounge whilst stuffing my face in the kitchen and the only downside is that I now weigh 8000...

I had the same problem. I was watching Skyplayer fine on my Humax on Thursday (I use it a lot to watch sky). When I tried to watch the F1 practice on Friday, it gave me the same error code. I tried again and it said user not recognised. So, I retyped the login info, and it still said user not...

Thanks - I've done it as you said and it worked fine. It takes a long time to transfer just 10 GB via USB (my test), and I need to transfer about 400 GB, but I guess I can just leave the machine to get on with over night... Actually, this has solved a problem that was bugging me for a while, and...

We do, but the problem is that if we poll in this section about it, the poll will be rendered invalid by the group who think it needs its own section and if we poll in its own section then, well, vice-versa. I think Russell had something to say about self-referential sets...

This is exactly what I want to do, but have not figured it out (even though I've owned my T2 for ages). Can I ask a few questions to get me up to where you are? 1) How do you add a SATA loop through the conditional access slot - I didn't even konw there was a 'conditional access slot'. Is this...

I'm really frustrated with this issue and have tried to resolve it myself for months - but to no avail, so I hope someone out there can help... I have a Humax Fox T2 running the Custom Firmware connected to a Dlink DSL2680 router via homeplugs. I can access internet tv (such as skyplayer) fine...

Thanks for that everyone, especially Black Hole, who is great at clearing things up for newbie like me. I had originally hoped that I would purchase a Foxsat HD and take it to Spain to watch the freesat channels there, and also be able to simply drag my recordings from my HD-FOX T2 onto a usb...

Sorted! Thanks ever so much...
