Only if the humax stores the date in an accessible place, quite unlikely I think It would be more useful if someone could work out how to access the live signal strength/quality data

It can't hurt to run fixdisk, but a disk problem is unllikely to affect live TV unless it is affecting the replay buffer

Also the editor on the the webif diagnostic pages is very usable for simple changes like this. You can also mount your humax disk on your PC using SMB or NFS and then use any text editor. I use VS Code as my code editor these days

There is an example on the wiki page Edit /mod/boot/ir3.map something like 4b:67,66: PORTAL -> fwd back should assign fwd/back to the redundant Portal button (nb the words are commentary - it is the hex code that does the work 4b:67,66: You may need to reboot before it takes effect

You have crash dumps dating back to 2020! It would be a good idea to clear /mod/core ! (it prompted me to look at mine and there was even more junk! ;) ) It might be nice to have an auto deleter! All of the recent dumps show a Segmentation fault occuring at the same address indicating that it...

Weird. Try running the crashdiag diagnostic to see if there is a common cause for the crashes. It is suspicous that so many of the crashes have almost the same uptime! Looks like some timer driven issue Remember the crashes are shown using UTC aka GMT so didn't start until 15:14 BST when you...

Too many thing these days are not economicaly repairable, except at a Repair cafe. No one is going to spend more than an item costs new to have someone attempt a repair that may not provide a long term solution.

Moot point now but it might have been worth looking for a local "repair cafe" event - not tried it myself (yet)

RIP Meshnet :( Unfortunately Nord have decided to drop support for their meshnet product claiming lack of interest (they failed to advertise it) So I have now set up TailScale instead and while some aspects like setting up a subnet router were a bit fiddly (it was automatic in Meshnet) others...

The Humax is runiing linux!

One of these features designed by nimble fingered youngsters with little sympathy for the those with less able to manage the proximity of keyboard buttons and differences of tap lengths

But not necesarily completed, while the OS system will protect against deletion of file in use it won't protect against shutdowns whilst in prcocess. The queue system will restart incomplete operations on restart - providing the input file still exists! You can check in sweeper whether a...

Sweeper only "sees" recordings it doesn't look for other fille types but you can add file exists/doesn't exist tests to your sweeper rules. For example this rule checks for the existence of a thumbnail (.thm) file: See the wiki for more details on Sweeper rules https://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Sweeper

Unless you are using an IBM mainframe computer in which case the the character order is determined by the EBCDIC value of the characters and numbers come after letters xF0-F9 (I know that @prpr is just quoting verbatim! ;) )
