how do you test the speed coming to the Humax / at the Humax end of the pipe?

Really? That's pretty slow isn't it?

One week later, and functionality has been intermittent at best, generally dropping off after 10 minutes or so. Do you know what ethernet mbs input speed is needed for the Humax to function properly, as I'm reliant on Powerline plugs to get a hard-wired connection downstairs and I think the...

and now it works :) but why; why oh why couldn't or didn't it work two days ago? b;oody computers

I have re-booted once again - no change! TV Aerial is connected to Humax, as now is LAN cable Now what?

No, the exact text appearing on the TV screen after about two minutes is: An error occurred while launching the application https//www.humaxtvportal.com/ meanwhile the Humax display continues to scroll TV Portal as if all is going OK Any thoughts gratefully received

OK; that's sorted the conflict on the router and once again, I have run LAN set-up on Humax successfully BUT when I then try to enter TV Portal the Humax display says it's there, TV does nothing for a minute then on TV screen, not Humax display, I get a message saying Operation HumaxTVportal...

Thanks; please confirm it's just the first data line of the set-up routine = IP Address that needs to be a different ending, not any of the next three (sub, gateway etc)

OK; how do I find a different address??

my router is a BT homehub 3.0 type A I ran the IPCONFIG command on my PC and then entered exactly these references into the Humax Good News - Humax connected Bad News - TV Portal appeared to run on Humax but no screen info display, just stayed on background TV channel, but Humax display...

Well, that's a fabulous reply but sadly, I seem to have misled you about my attempts to date. First of all, my Humax is ONLY (not shouting, just emphasising) connected to a TV, not a computer. Your explanation of HDR rather that HD is relevant; all I really want is the time shift recording...

Whew; more questions! But thanks to all - now in no particular order: Posting here because I didn't realise HD and HDR were two different things How do I find out what settings my lap-top is working on? If I run IPCONFIG I get one quick flash of white on black script which then disappears...

First screen says "Configure LAN / Network Disconnected", content share & FTP server OFF When I go forward to Configure LAN screen then I see: Configure IP = DHCP Network mask = 169.254.190.115 Net mask = 255.255.0.0 Gateway address = 0.0.0.0 DNS address = 192.168.1.254 Then trying to APPLY...

HDR-Fox T2; and I have installed the recent TV-Portal software update with no change in result, still saying Failed

Please may I join in at this stage as I too am unable to connect my new foxy-box but I do have the green and yellow lights showing alongside the network cable, so presumably at least I have a connection. I have tried to run the LAN-instal option in SetUp, but this fails. I have just installed...
