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...

Thanks for the help BH. Earlier in the evening I’d pulled the cables as it advised (no change) - and baulked at the next steps as I’ve not flashed the firmware for a few years. I was worried about making things worse. The System Flush Update File step looks next (I can’t see mileage in...

Guys, My HDR-Fox T2 spontaneously shutdown the other night - not going to standby - but some other unpowered fault mode. 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. After a few apps failed to handle format - I found that Airplayer seemed to provide pretty good quality playback with DLNA streaming. The timeshift bar...
