I can only assume that prpr and blackhole are just a little upset that neither of them thought to ask you how the humax was connected to the network... thank god for Martin eh ;)

I had one replaced under warranty after about 6 months use but the replacement has been fine for a few years now.

7 years?!?! Jesus - I feel old now!

Actually it looks like thy may be planning on maintaining a kind of minimum service after the switch is complete in 2020. They are moving both COM7 and COM8 to the "50"s range on winter hill which the old C/D aerials can pick up. That might mean that everyone can still receive the bulk of the HD...

philbean I would be very surprised given what you have said on the two threads that you have started if you haven't got a C/D aerial. Some good examples of how to physically check on the websites noted above. Optimum range of the C/D aerials is 690mhz (channel 48) and up so given that the...

I remember doing some research on this a while ago but I seem to remember something about the planned changes to winter hill frequencies to be done by 2020 pushing them out of the range of the group C/D aerials that were fitted in the area in the age of analogue - meaning that everyone in the...

Is the other partition visible if you press the blue button with "my video" - like you would press to view an external usb drive? Might be worth trying that with and without some kind of USB storage connected as the Humax might need to detect a device in order to show any extra storage.

Would is be possible to have 2x 4 TB partitions on the same drive? Then have one to record new things to and the other as an archive for older recordings? Maybe have sweeper move movies over to the archive automatically? EDIT: just seen that free30 already mentioned this...

You can even do this conversion "on the box" if you have the ffmpeg package installed...

I didn't think it was "roll around on the floor laughing" silly!

:) They need a challenge!!! Wouldn't plex without transcoding still be possible/useful?

Oh oh what about Alexa/Google home integration? "Alexa record top gear...."

Genuinely struggling to think of something I want the CF to do that it can't.... Maybe a plex server? Transcoding would be out of the question though (I assume). I really have got the the stage where I take all he CF features for granted - it's a testament to all your hard work that if my HDR...

You're probably right in that you don't notice it because you don't use it much. We use the hummy to watch live broadcasts - don't even bother with an aerial to the TV - and the difference in EPG scroll speed is extremely noticeable to me and SWMBO. Although I do remember that the effect was...

Loving the new functionality of the webif - it's great how there's still so much going on. May or may not be related to the new version but Webif auto_decrypt has started leaving copies of all recordings it has processed in the deleted items folder. Don't recall it doing this before - any...
