    auto-schedule-restore not restoring schedule after retuning

    I didn't realise crashes in the Humax code could be seen as crashes in packages. I assumed they all run as separate unix processes so it would always be clear which one had crashed and be correctly atributed. I consider myself chastised and will sit on the naughty step. I hadn't realised it was...

    A reminder that TLC Channel Is Coming To Freeview on 13th Jan

    Yes I did notice that. Brian's performance was very underwhelming, and I write as someone that has seen Queen live twice and Queen + AL live three times.

    DDoS?

    What annoys me is these probably AI crawlers often don't attribute the information to hummy.tv when they regurgitate it, nor do they pay any attention to copyright or patents.

    auto-schedule-restore not restoring schedule after retuning

    I did that on someone's advice in the last year or so and it's been much better. My boxes report packages crashing and being disabled on an almost monthly basis, I was getting fed up logging in to the web UI just to re-enable them. In the early days I reported these crashes on hummy.tv but none...

    auto-schedule-restore not restoring schedule after retuning

    It didn't used to ignore such entries when I tried auto-schedule-restore a number of years ago. I had to choose, and decided to stick with disable-ota. Sounds like the clash was fixed while I wasn't paying attention.

    Playing the typewriter. His performance at the proms was considerably worse than last time I saw that piece performed, with a percussionist doing duties much better on the typewriter.

    Do you have the Disable-OTA package installed and configured to add an on/off timer event?

    Copy files to Aura

    It has some great bugs too.

    auto-schedule-restore not restoring schedule after retuning

    If you have Disable-OTA package that adds an on/off timer when the box is rebooted after the retune. The schedule is not empty, so schedule restore does not restore it.

    Cloning/Fixing Failed HDD

    I should add I run two HDR Fox T2s at my house and set everything to record on both boxes. One uses AR and the other padding, this gives me redundancy of which recording method works for that programme. I mostly watch HD channels so being major channels AR usually works. But this setup also...

    Cloning/Fixing Failed HDD

    I would have given up if this much work was needed to repair one of my discs, after all it's only telly and I can stream on catchup most things I recorded recently anyway. Fortunately fixdisk has always worked for me.

    Cloning/Fixing Failed HDD

    One of the eternal issues in computing: are end addresses inclusive or exclusive? Personally I favour exclusive ie end address is first thing not in the item being described, because then length = end - start. But the decision has been made differently in many existing cases.

    Password Leaks

    I tried that on iOS 18.7 and it didn't work. I'll have to try again now I'm on 26.2 (which I detest, they've ruined almost all aspects of the UI).

    Cloning/Fixing Failed HDD

    This thread is short, I see no reason to start a new thread to post what you did. EDIT: And that's the first time I've seen anyone who's opinion I have reason to respect say MS Copilot has been useful to them.

    Password Leaks

    No you can't, not on iOS. I spent ages trying all combinations, there isn't one that says there is something to read without displaying part of it. The descriptions may imply you can have that, but it doesn't work.
