    Want to install custom firmware but have a question about It

    Thanks for the quick (and reassuring) responses. As I'm finished both work and my xmas shopping today I'll have a day to myself tomorrow and will go ahead with the install. Thanks for the info; I much appreciate the effort. All the best, Ian.

    Want to install custom firmware but have a question about It

    I am just about to install the latest custom firmware. I have been cautious and read all of the forum postings regarding it. The only concern I have found is around when new channels have been added by FreeSat. Some people have reported “No default authority data available for this channel...

    Connecting to Internet (Stock Firmware) What Exactly Will I Get?

    This weekend I should be in a position to connect my Foxsat HDR to my home network so it can get onto the internet. What exactly will I gain by this? BBC iPlayer and ITV Player are all I've seen mentioned thus far on the Freesat Information channel. It appears the main benefits will be with the...

    Guide Mutes Video and Audio On First Entry

    Having let this sink in a bit how does the guide stay up to date if you bypass the guide's update by the method you suggest? I've read on the forum about the unit doing "house keeping" at some point in time. Is this how the EPG is maintained when the user is not explicitly requesting it?

    Switch from Single Feed LNB to Dual

    Thanks for the reply. It's no big deal to do a factory reset if that's the easiest path for me to follow.

    Record to a Folder

    Thanks for the reply. Yes my unit is a Foxsat HDR: I will be more specific in the future, sorry for any abiguatiy. As I have not had the box long I've yet to record much but it looks like the unit is functioning as I'd like.

    Switch from Single Feed LNB to Dual

    I am currently using my HDR on a single feed LNB. Shortly I will be switching to a dual LNB to get the most out of the box. When I do this do I need to do a factory reset to enable the dish detection to run again, or will a Freesat scan do this without having to lose any other settings I may...

    Record to a Folder

    Having just acquired a used HDR unit I noticed the previous owner had not formatted the HD. It has some children's TV recordings on it which are organised in folders. I setup some recordings of my own for my grandson one of them being Fireman Sam. I noticed that the recording ended up in the...

    Guide Mutes Video and Audio On First Entry

    Having just acquired an HDR I have a few questions to ask which I will post in separate threads. I must say at the start I'm most impressed with the unit even if it is not the latest in PVR's. One annoyance with the HDR is that when you press the guide button the guide appears but the video and...
