Happy Christmas everybody, have a great day! :)

Yes.

Thanks, exactly what I knew. Just a bit puzzled a bit by the start of your first sentence in the OP. A battery has to be made of cells, so how can not cells be correct?

Hi Black Hole Please could you explain the difference between real batteries - not cells ?

Have you tried ringing Humax and I am sure they can give you details of how to re-boot the box. Please could you report back here how it is done? .

Hi no the later boxes have a different procedure, I feel sure it was turning on the mains whilst holding down two buttons. I do seem to think now it was called a hidden menu, but I have searched and the site does not go back to the first year of the Hummy.

Sadly the information was stored on a crashed HDD, but I would be surprised if some of the original members couldn't help.

You may well find that all you need to do is a re-boot and that is not just switching it of then on again! I am sure there are instructions on here if you search.

Does this box have a secret menu so you can do a full re-boot? I have found that my pvr slows and is brought back to full speed by a re-boot.

Quite correct about the Sony, but my separate Hi-Fi Tascam MD has in and out; useful for recording off my hummy. .

Sony Mini Disc players have optical, got one hiding in the back of a draw? A lot of A/V amps, DVD players, etc have optical. .

It is even worse when you are around the station, each time the presenter changes you know you are going to hear those - plus a few others. Roll on January! .
