Thanks BH. The only thing I can add to the collective knowledge-base is I tried to ‘date -s’ manually set the time twice during the ~15m windows. Didn’t stop the power-down in either case - the horse must have bolted by then (I noted it was still on BST on the front display if at all relevant)...
Well that’s good, but feels embarrassing: I reran the aerial input to the box, and it booted first time. I’ve cycled it a few times since, and it’s acting reliably - now running fixdisk just in case.
As BH said - it acquired the time near-immediately over-the-air.
Although it appeared to have...
Thanks both - I’ll use your help tonight (my next chance at doing diagnostics).
It’s roughly one in four reboots that have an extended runtime. I managed to get a couple of runs of ~15m last night (rather than a few seconds) before spontaneous shutdown.
Everything seemed normal then - I...

The System Flush Update File step looks next (I can’t see mileage in...

I had to use the back switch to power cycle it.
Now, most of the time after switch-on, it renters the same fault mode a little after disk spin-up, after some...
Thanks af123 - good steer - I had tried Buzz player in the past, but had a problem getting it to see my Humax using DLNA for streaming (perhaps I had deleted it in the past?).
After your pointer I endeavored to get it working - deleting the Buzz player app and reinstalling it - the DLNA server...
Hi - I tried a few iPhone apps to see which was best to stream TS files from my Humax HDR-Fox T2 and watch them when my TV is unavailable.
