    Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

    If you've never wielded a soldering iron yourself, your best bet is probably a community repair shop or similar.

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    My old S-VHS machine's remote had a jog/shuttle wheel and transportx goes some way to duplicating its functionality. Using it I determined the panning shot (see original post) lasts 145 frames, all different except: 12=13; 37=38; 62=63; 87=88; 112=113; 137=138. So that confirms original 24fps...

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    Sorry - I took your post #18 at face value without realising I had to decrypt first. (I managed to find the download option ok.) Thanks for all the steers on finding info - and for that TLA (a new one on me)! Your patience is appreciated and, no, I didn't do something else - just did as I was...

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    Thanks - it struck me that might be the problem; will look into how to decrypt. Will check out the explanation of the sidecar files.

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    Yep, that worked fine - complete TS file is 1.18GB. No NTS or THM file this time, though; is their purpose explained somewhere? Unfortunately Windows Media Player won't play, and the Promax TS analyser software doesn't like it.

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    Well, that was easy. In light of: and the fact that I couldn't copy the 959,520KB TS file due to a file-corrupted warning, I tried copying the programme to the USB stick again. PVR still said "Copying" after 30 minutes. Left for another 75 minutes (while I had a nap) and still saying...

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    Chewing this over with other members of the BBC Engineering Facebook group, it's likely we've identified the problem with the programme, namely production at 24fps and then poor conversion to 25fps. Idle curiosity led me to wonder what examining the transport stream might reveal, which is why I...

    Thanks - will mug-up on DVB/MPeg2 standards before querying with Promax.

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    The problem, I think, lies with the production company - Regency Productions. The Heritage Chart Show is presented by Mike Read whose outfit it is (and he's obviously well-connected with the Cronins who run TPTV). The show has worldwide distribution (and an American sponsor) so that might...

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    The Humax seemingly took ages to copy the programme to a FAT32 USB stick, so I used the hidden menu to force an eject. So now I have: Does that look right? I found this promising tool...

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    That's a "yes" then. Nothing is difficult if you know how; I need to check what file type a recorded programme is; that it copies to a USB stick ok; and that it can be examined by a suitable software tool. Can you recommend the latter? If the broadcaster did their job right, I wouldn't have...

    Programme Extraction, Transport Stream Analysis and transportx Package

    I've e-mailed TPTV, Regency Productions and the "technical sponsor" re a bugbear of mine - jerky motion on The Heritage Chart Show: I appreciate many of the low-budget videos featured are a bit “iffy” technically – but that clearly doesn’t apply to the beautifully-crafted Now and Then video...

    Two Problems While Trialling CF 1.03.12 on HDR-Fox T2

    More crash evidence. Yesterday I removed our new TV from its stand unplugging, at the TV, the HDMI from the in-standby PVR. After punching a 1.25" dia hole in the stand's upright to facilitate cable management (1.6mm steel - hard work!) the PVR was subsequently reconnected and taken out of...

    Correcting the Wi-Fi Channel Range

    I haven't yet tried the current beta as using fixed WiFi channel 6 has not caused any problems - and I'm still investigating occasional crashes as per https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/two-problems-while-trialling-cf-1-03-12-on-hdr-fox-t2.11098/
