In answer to some of the questions: The Humax is using a wired connection. I'm not sure where the 0.0.0.0 comes from but the 192.168.1.1 is probably the "DNS Address" entered in the manual LAN setup (the router IP). My ISP recomends leaving the DNA Server entries blank in the router...

Running the same telnet commands as before now gives:

As an experiment I changed the LAN settings from Manual to DHCP, rebooted and ..... iPlayer seemed to be working OK (after the initial warning when loading iPlayer). I changed back to Manual settings and iPlayer failed again. Changed back to DHCP and iPlayer worked. When I checked the...

Thanks for your reply - I appreciate it - and the example was especially helpful. The telnet results were: and my LAN settings are:

I'm having problems with iplhack. What I have done is: Updated all installed packages, rebooted. Updated the custom firmware to the latest version, rebooted (everything worked fine) Installed iplhack from the WebIf interface & rebooted Only on one occasion was I able to use iPlayer with...

There are very helpful instructions in the wiki but I thought I would post a different method that I came across and which doesn't involve aluminium foil or conductive paint and which, so far (touching wood) seems to be very successful indeed on one of my remotes which got to the stage of being...

Thanks for your help. I renamed the folders and disaster didn't strike!

I have been using the network shares for many months and it has transformed how I use the Humax with my server box. One question: I would like to change the network share names that appear on the Humax. Is it safe to rename the folders in the [ModSettings]/smb directory - i.e. rename them from...

I am probably way over cautious and I fully accept that other people here are far more knowledgeable than I am - but if I had a drive that had a steadily increasing number of reallocated sectors I would firstly make sure I had a backup of the contents, then I would replace the HDD. It is all...

If you decrypt everything automatically there is the benefit that, if the Hummy packs up, all the recordings on the HDD are accessible either by a computer (with Windows you need software such as Paragon ExtFS, etc) or by another Hummy. You lose all non-decrypted recordings if the Hummy they...

In my experience writing to a USB Ext3 is no where near either the 62 GB/hr reported for FAT32 or the 37 GiB/hr I get using rsync/NFS share. When I get to the PC I'll add the actual USB Ext3 speed I get.

Sorry, should have said - yes wired connection.

That is around the speed I get when using rsync to mirror the Hummy HDD to my Linux (Ubuntu) Server. My setup has rsync and Samba or NFS (which depending on preference and OS) installed on the Hummy then I run rsync on the Ubuntu Server to mirror the shared Humax drive.

Presumably you have tried the VDR "Quick Stream Fix" option (in the Tools menu).
