    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work

    Just to report back on the final issue of the network strangeness. I had the box manually configured to use a static IP address, but it seems that after some time it gives up on this static address and requests and gets a new one from my DHCP server which it then continues to use. Using only a...

    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work

    Thought I'd report back as I hate threads when stuff is now working bit nobody ever says what was a success. As expected, the 4TB disk got nowhere. After suitable formatting (non- MBR of course) the receiver wouldn't even start properly. I'll be using that disk for something else. The 2TB...

    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work

    Thanks for the links - I'll follow up on them. I had previous success going from the standard (500GB I think) to 1TB with absolutely no issues - just shoved it in if I remember correctly. A 2TB has apparently just been delivered to my house, so I have numerous possibilities to play with over the...

    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work

    Thanks everyone who's been supportive. @David500 - I have read the documentation in the Web IF and am following it - have to work the rest of this week so there'll be no updates for a while. I don't have any hope, but will continue to the end just for the hell of it. @BlackHole - was just...

    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work

    The custom firmware install I ran adds telnet by default if you use the provided USB Stick image. You can then add ssh using the Custom Firmware web interface, which I have done. I'm a white-haired old developer and use Linux daily. I normally use putty, but will fall back to telnet or ssh in a...

    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work

    Ah, I've re-read the posts above a couple more times and gone back to the web interface. I'll read the documentation there rather than poking about in the wiki. As my new drive has 4K physical sectors, there is some (admittedly small) hope that I can get more the 2TB visible. We will see. If I...

    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work

    It is the FOXSAT HDR which I own (see screenshot in the original post). The firmware update is successful, works mostly very well and provides a number of very good features. Still, I was looking to use the 'menu' which is frequently talked about in the WIKI and Forums. When I connect via telnet...

    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work

    Maintenance Mode - Not available in Telnet and touch /var/lib/humaxtv/mod/maintenance.boot doesn't work I'm looking to try and setup a bigger disk ( 4TB - boldly going it seems ) but as I can't get to the maintenance menu I'm a bit stuck. I've installed the firmware as per the WIKI page...
