I will try to persuade them tomorrow! Thanks.

Sorry if I confused things. Two bad things have happened. 1) The Humax crashed after inserting and configuring the wireless dongle. 2) The Humax dropped into standby without warning while I was watching a recording. I can't remember if the dongle was plugged in when this happened. Does...

Ah... Looks like maybe replacing the Humax isn't going to help and I should just give up on wireless and go for homeplug instead...?

That's very interesting, thank you. I wonder how many other people have had problems with wireless dongles.

Thanks all. The first thing I did when it wouldn't start up was to take the dongle out (it's an Edimax EW-7711UAn). It didn't start working however until I had turned the whole thing off for an hour. When it was working again I plugged the dongle back in and that doesn't seem to have made any...

I suppose the features I loved from my topfield were a) When tuning having it automatically select the transmitter with the strongest signal for each channel and delete duplicates. I need this as my aerial seems to pick up at least two transmitters so I get channel duplicates. b) Being able...

I am looking to upgrade my wonderful topfield pvr which has sadly died. I saw good reviews for the HDR Fox T2 but on amazon.co.uk they all stop in 2011. Does it no longer make sense to buy this as it is out of date?
