all sorted now, since I managed to make some space pause is magically working again. it seems as though the space may have been the problem after all. Maybe even though the timeshift is in a different part the other disk being full was hampering it or something. I dunno, main thing is it is...

it just shut down after counting down to 51 whist booting up the maintenance mode. when turning it onit counted from 59 to 51 and shut down again..... working now after shuffling through various firmwares, running fix-disk now.

oh cock....... on entering maintenance mode it counts down to 51 then switches off.... have I broken it!? ####### edit###### fixed by reflashing the firmware. now going to try maintenance mode.... #######edit2##### reflashing a CFW back on there brings back the maintenance mode problem...

not as of this morning... I think i have seen a post elsewhere on this forum that describes a "forever deleting" bug. It was still deleting even after I changed the firmware. The problems just seem to be piling up! :-(

not on my box.... all the buttons to the right of the packages read "install" on the installed tab. Hopefully things will right themselves after the system is finished with its deleting. no ideas about timeshift?

Hmmmm I only seem to have a install button or info options. I've just seen that I should run the "fix-flash-packages" (as I was an idiot and didn't run the prepare for upgrade diagnostic) though I think I am locked out until my HDD is idle so only get error messages at the moment. I guess...

Ok, now we have that one sorted.....I may have missed it but how does one go about uninstalling a package? would it maybe be best to go to a factory firmware, or do the packages stay?

I'm on Ubuntu and use GParted for hard drive "fiddling", that seems to call them partitions, though I guess maybe you mean at a system level they aren't referred to as partitions, rather different mount points?

So disk space should not be an issue with timeshifting.... I wonder what is causing the box to suddenly stop responding to the command to pause live TV, I would expect some sort of error message if there was something common happening, maybe I should revert to a standard firmware?

??? or is the total space on the disk still reported in that little pie chart in the top right of the screen in the "media" section

Ok brilliant, thanks, I don't think I saw that in the documentation (i.e. I didn't read it closely enough), I'll have a look at deleting the custom portals when I get home this evening. I guess this is not the problem for the timeshift not working though?

I assume by custom portal you mean the default portal on the custom firmware? TV Portal button gives a selection of menus at the bottom of the screen which are then accessible through the coloured buttons. Red is labelled Humax (I think, I am at work now) and gives options like 1. Original Humax...

This doesn't seem to be the problem, though I have noticed that I have only about 1GB space left, It seems to be taking a very long time to delete things, I'll leave it deleting throughout today. I realise that this could well be the reason for lack of timeshift, but could it also be the reason...

I've got a really strange problem. Yesterday my Humax HDR fox-t2 stopped pausing live TV. The pause button on the remote works, it even paused iPlayer, just not live TV. I figured I would upgrade to a new firmware and see if that fixed it. Now the problem is compounded, not only does the pause...
