Hi.. my replacement been working fine since I installed in in September, so hopefully you’ll be fine.

Hi Tim, it does sound the same as my problem. I wish I could tell you what was causing it but I’ve not had another look at mine yet. When I have time I’m going to try bits off one of the ones I bought to try and narrow it down. There are some good bargains around, and the two I got have been...

I got a replacement fox t2 from the auction site. Unit and remote look like new and after all checks and formatting etc., setup, tuned and been running for a few days now. It’s installed with all my existing cabling exactly as my other one was for years. There has been no sign whatsoever of the...

Maybe I misunderstood that then. I did copy some small files to a usb drive which I thought were hidef but maybe they were just standard.

Yeah black hole said windows wouldn’t. Pc bleeps when I plug the docking station in, but can’t read it. Not a major problem, from what I’ve read on here I will be able to copy my files to the new t2 via usb with the docking station. I did have the decrypt package loaded.

It’s all a bit irrelevant now. I stripped it down today to give it a clean, and yes I do know what I’m doing as far as service to board change etc, I’m not electronics though. I took the front off this years ago to get rid of the orange filter. It wasn’t very dusty considering 9 years old. Put...

Yes correct, never had a problem with tv reception

Blackhole said in post 3 that Hidef requires more disk activity, implying to me that the disk may have something to do with it. Trev I have tried everything you have suggested with regard to the RF side of things. I did ask if the aerial could be the cause of the problem, as have ruled out the...

Losing the will to live now. I was watching Strike on BBC HD when at 9.30 it started again. Not as bad as before but occasionally. Then the screen went black and it said this channel is scrambled. Changed to BBC2 HD then back to BBC1 HD and it was fine again. Occasional pixilation, but then...

I did wonder if the count rolled round at some point. To be honest none of these charts really mean anything to me. I don’t know if fixdisk did anything or found any faults, I know it said no bad sectors. But so far so good

since running fixdisk, which finished at 2.30 pm, I haven't seen a problem. Not convinced yet though. I did some digging and found I purchased this in February 2011. It's the original 500 gig drive. It's always been used as main source of tv as I prefer the guide etc, and it's been on more or...

My router and a now tv box are in the same cabinet. Have been for years. I’m just running fixdisk in maintenance mode. It’s had a lot of use and must be 8 or even 10 years old. could the aerial be a problem? Been up there donkeys years but never been a problem.

Sorry for the late reply, got involved with other things. i used the v-format and it was the same on all settings. the aerial goes straight into the humax then loops out to tv. last night I removed the hdmi cable from The humax and tv, and removed the aerial from tv also. i ran a new hdmi lead...

When the problem occurs, it is the main 5 channels that break up. BBC news etc on CH55 are fine With quality at 100%, signal about 69%. Today is the first time I have seen the problem on the sd channels.

Update to the problem. When I turned my tv on this morning, some of the sd channels had the same problem. BBC1 and 2 were bad, almost non existent, ITV1 was fine. Powered the human down, waited a while, powered back on and all channels sd or had were fine.
