Hi, Yeah it was nearly 100% a lot of the time. I didn't move the HDMI cable when I installed the attenuator, but I suppose I might have without realising :) TBH I think there is a loose connection on the antenna in socket. This would make sense as the problems started just after a load of...

Hello, It appears that my problems were actually caused by a dodgy connection (or too strong a signal) rather than a broken fan. By placing a variable attenuator in the rear antenna input I was able to stop the signal interference. I'e "dialed" up the attenuation to drop my signal strength to...

Well, looks like I've managed to get the fan back to life using the fan package. However, the sporadic signal interference is still there which makes me think there are other issues afoot. Having done a search of the forums, it looks like I'm not the only one who has experienced intermittent...

Brilliant, thanks.

Ok, thanks. I didn't have fan installed, but I might give that a go and see if I can kick start it into action. Technology...meh

Worst is 87 Deg C, so I'm guessing there is a problem? I've just dismantled the Hummy and tested the fan with a 9V battery...it works. So, I'm now thinking that I might have a dodgy temperature sensor :/

Hi all, I've been experiencing some strange behaviour with my Hummy for the past few weeks, namely intermittent signal problems and random reboots. I think I've now established that the root cause of these problems is a defective fan (3.2 Mega Ohms between -ve and +ve), so I think I need to...

Sadly I'm also getting the HDD spin up problem with HDR_FOX_T2_1.03.12_mod_3.03 :(

Ian, I went for the WD AV-GP Enterprise 2 TB 3.5-inch SATA Internal Hard Drive from Amazon (linky), which has been great so far. The latest firmware recognised it straight away, and formatted the whole 2TB without any problems. Hope that helps? John

Super...thanks Ezra Pound :doublethumbsup:

Hi Black Hole, They aren't really "discussed" there...I was hoping for people's experiences of using 2TB drives (such as that from Wallace...cheers btw). Hopefully this thread will stay open for others to reply? John

Hi all, My original drive dies last night :( and now I'm looking for a replacement. Ideally I'm going to go for 2TB, and wondered if anyone has any suggestions as to what to buy? I've been looking at the WD AV-GP Enterprise 2 and would be interested to hear if anyone has any experience of...

I used to have terrible problems with mkv files, but found mkclean from the Matroska foundation sorted them all out. Might be worth a go? John

Hi all, Does anyone know if formatting in subtitle srt files is supported by the hummy? srt formatting seems to follow a similar style to html, but all I see on screen is the actual markup i.e. <i>this</i> instead of this. Any ideas?

Looking forward to receiving terrestrial on my 0.5Mbps "broadband" connection :/
