    Controlling a Sky box (or Roku Express) with Humax RM-F04 or RM-F01 remote

    Does anyone know if it's possible to control either a Sky box or a Roku Express (the one with an IR remote, not a bluetooth one) with a Humax remote and what the code might be? (I actually want it for the Roku Express, but I'm asking about the Sky box because it has the same code on a universal...

    Advice on best set-up for HDR-FOX T2 and FOXSAT-HDR

    Thanks to all three of you for the advice on setting the system up. As I've now resolved the missing channels issue with the HDR-FOX, I'll use the FOXSAT in a different room and it can definitely be a secondary machine, which may help in the set-up. I'm going to look at the options and will...

    Advice on best set-up for HDR-FOX T2 and FOXSAT-HDR

    Thanks. I hadn't heard multiplexes referred to as COMs before. Given that the TV received sufficient signal for each of those services on the COM4 multiplex, I assumed that the aerial, connection/wall plate and cable were all fine, and that the fault may lie with the connector on the HDR-FOX or...

    Advice on best set-up for HDR-FOX T2 and FOXSAT-HDR

    No, I agree with you that something's broken, thanks for prompting me into checking Since the aerial lead works fine on the TV, my assumption is that it's the HDR-FOX itself. Could you let me know what COM4 is? Which signal strength/ quality ratings would be useful - the numbers from TV for...

    Advice on best set-up for HDR-FOX T2 and FOXSAT-HDR

    Having just tried to squeeze the centre of the female aerial in port on the HDR-FOX with a pair of needle nose pliers to make sure the contact with the aerial lead was good, I discovered that touching the pliers to the port with no cable there gave pretty good reception on Channel 5+1 while...

    Advice on best set-up for HDR-FOX T2 and FOXSAT-HDR

    Thanks. In the post https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/foxsat-hdr-and-hdr-fox-t2-shared-external-hard-drive.3566/post-42411, there was a comment that .ts files from the Foxsat play ok on the HDR-FOX, and as I'd not be making any HD recordings, I thought I might be able to take advantage of that and...

    Advice on best set-up for HDR-FOX T2 and FOXSAT-HDR

    Thanks, but unfortunately I don't think it's that simple. My TV seemed to get quite a bit better reception than my HDR-FOX during the high pressure in the summer, so it could well be a fault on the HDR-FOX's input, which will mean I could well waste my landlord's time and money on a new aerial...

    Advice on best set-up for HDR-FOX T2 and FOXSAT-HDR

    PS I have a universal remote (Inteset INT422) which should be able to cope with two Humax boxes on different remote frequencies, so having two boxes in use wouldn't be terrible. In my initial attempt last night, I couldn't persuade it to control the FOXSAT when it was on remote frequency 2, but...

    Advice on best set-up for HDR-FOX T2 and FOXSAT-HDR

    I've enjoyed using my HDR-FOX T2 for the last few years (thanks for all the help on the forum and particularly for the custom firmware), but I've added a FOXSAT-HDR to our stable, as there's some issue with the HDR-FOX's aerial reception in our location which caused a lot of scrambling on major...

    Remote not controlling PVR properly (not batteries)

    Thanks MontysEvilTwin In my original investigation, I checked there were no batteries in any other remotes in the room, and even moved them and the Nintendo Wii remotes out of the room. The only change since then is that I've been using the One For All Kameleon (in combination with the RM-F04...

    Remote not controlling PVR properly (not batteries)

    Thanks. I also added the file .irhold in /tmp/ as per the Wiki to make sure that I didn't turn off the box when pressing the various buttons that make it turn off. I've attached the humaxtv.log file and the list of buttons on the remote that I pressed (commands.txt). I tried to do the same with...

    Remote not controlling PVR properly (not batteries)

    I haven't yet worked out how to run the ir3/debugon diagnostic, but I did run the command ir -l in the web shell, which gave the results below. On first sight I thought there might be some problems (e.g. 8 = a), but as there aren't multiple commands mapped to standby, I assume they're correct...

    Remote not controlling PVR properly (not batteries)

    Black Hole, thanks for your suggestion. Worth trying, but it didn't work af123, I managed to get the Humax to change remote mode and the remote to change mode to match it. Unfortunately, the problem existed in all the remote modes - exactly the same behaviour, with the same buttons turning off...
