If networking is an issue you should carefully checked your Chromebook as 2 USB ports minimum has been the Chromebook spec for a long time. Perhaps it's 1xUSB-C and 1xUSB-A, in which case you just need an adaptor to fit both the USB caddy and USB memmory stick and copy from 1 to the other. (or a...

I was curious earlier when you said you could read the disk using your Chromebook, so I've just tried it. Using my chromebook I can read the files from the disk when attached to the USB and copy them to a windows share on my PC. It's fairly easy but the big essential is that you have a working...

If your HDR Fox T2 is networked then FTP off onto your PC should be possible

You say have a USB caddy, if you boot the diskless HDR Fox T2 then attach the caddy to USB port with the disk, can you not read the files?

what actual error do you get when you run strips.exe? I still have strips.exe and cygwin1.dll from when I last used it, both files are placed in the same folder and strips.exe is run from that folder

I replaced the CAP next to the USB on mine, but it made no difference, still the same behaviour ... given up on it for now

the other symptom is if you manually record does it work? if you heat the board does it work?

As is would be fine PM me your bank details once you are ready, I'll send my address

Mine still flaky, so I'd like to take you up on the offer. I can pay carriage by bank transfer or could try the suggestion above for a Royal Mail label (I've never tried that before though) Thanks

is it only during playback of recordings or live tv also?

something else to check; assuming the C2 menus are similar to C1, go to General/HDMI Deep Colour and make sure it's set to off rather than 4K

opened up my box and removed the drive, I can see no visible damage on either side of the board. Turned it on and both tuners were showing between 70 to 80 % strength on all muxes, but no picture was displayed on any of them. Tried a heat gun on the tuner 1 area, although it wasn't well...

I think this is the same problem as I have, when initially switched on the message is "The channel is scrambled or not available" which then changes to "No programmes are currently being broadcast on this channel" There are several threads on here reporting this. On mine the tuner signals are...
