Yeah, I thought that too about the wireless. However, I really laboured on the question to make sure he understood what I was asking (you know how tech support can be). The first bloke said you can't plug a dongle into it, not even the humax one, and get WiFi. Thinking this was daft, I spoke to...

Just got off the phone with Humax. The DTR T1000 is not DLNA compliant, no FTP, and no wireless capability. Not only does it not have wireless built in, you can't even use a dongle - whose idiotic idea was that?? I know they can add all this with updates, but it seems daft to not have it when...

Just what is the best way to back up my recordings on the HDR Fox T2? I'm a newbie, and my technical knowledege is not up to scratch (yet) so please bear with me. I know I can back-up on a USB tethered external HDD, and play it back on the original humax via the same route, but can I back-up...

If the speedtester says the line is capable of, say 5Mbs, then 3Mbs may be the best you'll get under ideal circumstances. But at least you'll be maximising your current capability. The engineer told me if I didn't use the speedtester, I'd only ever get 1-3Mbs. I ran the test this morning, and it...

"You must live very close to your Telephone exchange" About 0.5 miles The tester says the line is capable of 21M.

Let me tell you a story. I had a huge 'to-do' - insofar as one can do, with orange about my broadband. After loads of testing, changing routers three times, orange blaming my PC and my wiring/cables, several visits from BT engineers to my house changing all the cabling to the master socket...

Thanks Black Hole. The reason I posted a question on here, although the question may seem low-level to most, is because it's obvious many people viewing know what they're talking about. My technical knowledge is nowhere near up to scratch as I'm a newbie, and I'm finding some information...

I've been trying to find a defintive list of supported audio formats for the HDR FOX T2 for streaming from a potential NAS. Some people say it won't play MP4 at all, others say "oh, yes it does, works a treat on mine" and the same of AAC. It's like reading a bad panto. Just what is the deal...
