Great, done! So just to repeat myself, I've now got the hummy remote on the normal PVR mode controlling the soundbar volume and the mute button on the hummy remote turns the soundbar on and off, which is kind of what a mute is anyway! Thanks for the help af123 and thanks to you and those who...

Brilliant, that's just the kind of thing I was hoping for. Annoyingly I can only teach the soundbar volume up, volume down and power, but not mute, so I think I'll try to use the hummy mute for the power of the soundbar, which sounds a bit peverse, but I might as well as I won't be using it...

Thanks folks. I've managed to get it working on the AUDIO button of the Hummy. Interestingly I did it by using a function on the soundbar where I actually program the device itself to work with the remote, rather than the other way round. So that's quite nice. I was just kind of hoping I could...

Hello, Sorry if this has been asked, but I've searched and couldn't find the answer... I've just got a Yamaha YAS 101 Soundbar for my telly/hummy HDR, which I should have done yonks ago, as the sound is transformed (I can't believe I lived with the TV speakers for so long). Anyway, rather...

Fair enough, maybe I'll give it a go. The noise thing it subjective though - some people are way more sensitive to it. My wife has mentally powerful ears and gets very cross with any low level hard drive noises going on when she wants peace and quiet! I might give it a go though. If I do I'll...

I totally get this point Black Hole and I've been tempted to run it every 5 minutes 24/7 myself for the same reason, but on the other hand I don't want the HDR to struggle or make annoying noises over dinner. Can you say if you've noticed any performance problems at all due to this? I can...

thanks I won't. If I give up on the 32 and swap to my old 4GB card for the CF then I'll format it to Ext2 first.

af123 you're a star. This morning encsummary gives me... >>> Beginning diagnostic encsummary Running: encsummary Showing files under /media/My Video/ Encrypted: 69 Decrypted: 75 Total: 144 >>> Ending diagnostic encsummary which is exactly what I'd expect to see. So from yesterday...

Thanks guys. I'll try to find the time-shifting option and turn that on and give it a go before giving up. If I do give up it sounds like I can swap the 32 pen drive for a smaller one I've got and just copy all the files across first, which will hopefully then just work as it was. Anyway, I'll...

That sounds right. I guess it needs to be filtered so it only counts files in /mnt I ran find -name *hmt > /mod/tmp/all-hmt.txt, which gave me 201 files in total, of which 146 were on the HDR and the other 55 on the NAS. So that still doesn't account for the 637 from encsummary, which is...

Thanks for all the input guys. I've managed to set it up as the HDD by using the suggested diagnostic. The result is a bit weird in that I can record OK (from one quick trial just now), but I can't pause live TV, which is all I really wanted to be able to do! It also shows up as the wrong size...

thanks again af123. Do I just run it with no arguments?

Hello again! Sorry, I've just realised that I should have set the folder to 'Media' to get the HD to find the Samba HDR. I've now done that and it's all working a dream. Playing HiDef from network onto HDR or onto HD and from HDR to HD. What I REALLY like is that I can start watching a programme...

Interesting. I just did exactly the same, copying your command above, and I have 146 .hmt files, pretty much exactly how many I worked out there should be. So I'm not sure why encsummary is giving me 637.

Well I've got the nice new 32GB pen drive and put it in my HD, but under the system options both 'Format Drive' and 'Make this my Hard Drive' (can't remember exact wording) are both greyed out, so I can't set it up as the main drive for the HD. Ahhg! I've formatted it as Ext2 as advised (on my...
