That's all a bit above my level of understanding but I get the general idea. As I only use about 75% of my existing 500MB drive don't really need more than 1TB which is what I ordered.

Ordered and on the way so I'll come back to let you know when it's installed..

Good to know I'm not going to be wasting my time and money. Any comments on the use of a Toshiba S300 surveillance drive?

Thanks for the reply. It's now at: Raw Value 1095, Value 074, Worst 074, Threshold 036, Life Left 60%

Loads of really useful info here which will be invaluable when I put in a new hard drive. Reallocated sector count is steadily increasing so was going to get a Skyhawk but found it's out of stock though there's a good deal on a 1 TB Toshiba S300, 5,400 rpm surveillance drive so will probably get...

I think coincidence can be ruled out. All channels were available up until the point where I installed CFW 1.02.20_mod_3.13 at which time, not only were all channels missing, but retuning automatic search found no channels though they could still be viewed on my TV. Installing official firmware...

I've had another go at installing the custom firmware, downloaded and installed HDR_FOX_T2_1.03.12_mod_3.13 which worked perfectly without losing channel tuning. After going through all the documentation that Black Hole posted, now realise that my first attempt was with...

This is the back of my box.

Thank you very much for the quick response. I wasn't particularly concerned that CF would delete recordings as it all appeared very straightforward, however it seems that something has gone badly wrong and removong CF is not quite so simple and just wanted to check before I do it. 1.02.20 is...

Just realised I should have said this is a HDR Fox T2, Humax version is 1.02.20 and loader version a7.33

After looking through this forum and wiki I decided to install custom firmware as I thought it would give me some features I wanted. Install from USB stick was fine and did what was expected but after rebooting there were no channels and I was prompted to do a search. This went all the way...

I’m trying to do what appears to be exactly the same as you. Got a number of old VHS family videos, want to get them on the Hummy and ideally have full control on playback with FF RW, skip, etc. I am almost a complete novice at this and finding some of it difficult to get my head round but...
