Yes, it did. Thank you.Finally someone able to answer the question asked.

I see he has form then. I too have put in a request to close my account.

As a closing statement, I will reply to your first question. If you look at my original post, I was not looking to install any custom firmware, I was looking to do something entirely different. Indeed, the clue is in the very title of the thread. If you look to the top of the screen you will...

That's fair enough I suppose. However, the instructions are far too long for the average stupid person like myself to wade through, with numerous links. I am sure they are very complete and in depth, and I only have myself to blame for wanting a quick and easy answer rather than spending all day...

Ah, ok. Thanks for the non condescending reply. That'll teach me for not reading the instructions huh.

Its a fair cop guv. In my defence, I didn't associate the two things, and although I didn't read the instructions, you are right, The reboot thing is on a different screen and appears whether I have scheduled a recording or not. Calling someone stupid for asking a question is not very helpful...

Why? Are you stupid? Or do you think you know better? Clearly I must be stupid. So, are you suggesting I must go into the web browser on my computer on a daily basis to see if there is a message to tell me to reboot the box? If so, then it is not fit for purpose. Why would it say it if it was...

Apologies for the 'comedy'. Job done. Thanks all and Goodnight.

Well,with your valuable help guys,and a special thanks to Black hole for his persitence in dragging this technophobe in to the 21st century, I have achieved what I set out to do, and a whole lot more. So, a huge thanks to you all. Thread closed?

Pity I didn't know about this before I binned the last one a few months ago.🙂

Thanks. I did that. It displayed a lot of numbers I didn't really understand, no red banners anywhere suggesting imminent destruction of the disk, so I presumed it was ok.

Thank you. I wasn't suggesting your lovely file was corrupt. More than likely a bit of fluff from my 900 year old USB drive that caused it. ETA, looking back, I was suggesting exactly that. Whooops. Sorry bout that.

OMG. It says there are potential problems with the internal hard disk on this device. That's what killed the last one.

Ok. It installed the CF ok, and I have access to the web interface. Thank you
