    no or bad signal or the channel is currently unavailable or scrambled on radio stations

    The dish is damaged - the LNB mount was cracked, got in for a closer look and it fell apart...

    no or bad signal or the channel is currently unavailable or scrambled on radio stations

    I have a similar issue with the same model box, except all channels show no signal, and both tuner inputs show as dead. Can the tuner part of the box 'die'? We recently recycled all of our old Sky boxes (dammit) so can't check if it's an issue with the box of the dish. At least all my...

    Foxsat HDR will not boot (stuck in limbo)

    Thanks @all. Last few days spent checking this and other disks. Crystal DiskInfo for SMART details - shows caution due to 209 reallocated sectors MiniTool Partition Wizard (older version has more 'free' functions) was used for Surface Testing - problems at 97% SeaTools used for various Seagate...

    Foxsat HDR will not boot (stuck in limbo)

    Thank you all, and @prpr for the partition sizes. I mounted to PC using a caddy and Paragon software, and successfully checked & repaired hda1 & hda2 (one minor issue on /hda1). Replaced disk in Humax and it booted up fine. From telnet, have reinstalled custom firmware and webif and related...

    Foxsat HDR will not boot (stuck in limbo)

    Thanks @Black Hole I'm borrowing a caddy and will run diagnostics on the disk. Assuming it is broken beyond repair and I buy either the WD or Seagate 2 Tb replacement, then will need to format the new drive to Ext3 and partition. Can someone point me to the manual partition settings for a 2 Tb...

    Foxsat HDR will not boot (stuck in limbo)

    Thank you both. It is disk failure, at least we can watch TV again. In lieu of new drive, can I record direct to plugged in USB? I'm going to upgrade the drive capacity. I'm assuming the foxsat is 32 bit / max 2 Tb. Also assume it needs one that says DVR compatible, or are there other...

    Foxsat HDR will not boot (stuck in limbo)

    Hi, I am running the custom firmware version 4.1.3, and this morning the box will not boot up. It doesn't' say BOOT, but goes straight to 'Custom Firmware_4_1_3' on the front panel', and all buttons are unresponsive as is using the remote. I've removed the network, HDMI and satellite aerial...

    Channel 4 HD Leaving Freesat Thu 22 Feb 2018!

    Note I'm using the custom firmware. I've just re-tuned the device including C4 HD (now shows as 5106) which has removed the Superfoods issue. Instead it now defaults to the channel name (slightly better). Either way: Select recording as if you were recording from C4 Using the remote, edit...

    Transferring files from Foxsat-HDR to PC via USB

    This may be relevant. Windows (10 at any rate) has problems with encrypted HD .ts files*. As they cannot be read by anything other than the original Humax anyway, I would advise against transferring encrypted .ts files to a PC. For backup of encrypted files I FTP or sync them to an Ext3 format...

    Foxy - An HD recording backup utility for the HDR-Fox T2 now released !

    Back on topic, I think. Windows 10 PC / Foxsat-HDR (1Tb). Custom firmware installed (4.1.3) and working. FTP access fine. But Foxy says every HMT file is invalid - "Not a valid T2 HMT file!", AV2HDR opens / edits the HMT files OK. .NET FrameWork 3.5 in and enabled. Q - what am I doing wrong...
