Thanks BH! New device paranoia...

Your encouragement to network has cost me dearly. The ethernet switch and cables are all installed and the NAS Drive comes tomorrow. I've just noticed that an additional light has appeared on the switch and on investigation find the FoxSat recording. Does anyone know what the internet activity...

Went for the cable in the end. Now I can have components where I want them rather than dependent on the cables lengths I have at the moment! Thanks for clearing up the wiring af! Thanks again everybody!

Thanks Trev! I usually use the T568B pattern. I believe the Tx and Rx are pins 4 and 5, Blue and Blue/White. But do we twist just one end? Or can the hummy work it out? Thanks BH! Owing to the simple cable route, and being an electrician, no problem with cat5, but a whole reel probably costs...

Thank you Martin, and sorry if some of my questions are a bit basic. Despite being a retired Electrical Engineer, I have much jargonese to learn. The dongle is indeed usb. I'll be ordering a wireless bridge later today... Or, perhaps, plug-in ethernet connectors... Or a reel of cat5 cable...

Can anyone please advise how I set up a WiFi dongle in my Foxsat-HDR to talk to my T-Link router? Both are (802.11N) I have tried this but my Apple AirPort Extreme (in bridge mode) is being silly. Perhaps it's me. Should I try to get the dongle and router talking directly? Or will the APE try to...

Ah! Yes. Apologies. I should know better.

Thanks for the replies. If I do anything, it'll be to buy another 1000s and connect it to the router. In the meantime, and sorry to go off at a tangent, how can I set up a WiFi dongle (802.11N) in my Foxsat-HDR to talk to my router? I have tried this but my AirPort Extreme (in bridge mode)...

Many thanks for that information Graham! I'm reluctant to tinker with the firmware as we only watch programmes we've recorded and you will understand that any loss would be punishable by death... May I ask another question? Is it possible to transfer programmes from the foxsat-hdr to the...

Hi! And thanks for a most interesting site! I've read lots on here, specifically regarding the ability to start watching a recorded programme on one recorder, then completing it on another machine in a different room. I have an HDR1000s and a FOXSAT-HDR. However, if it would simplify things, I...
