The BBC backed the wrong horse with MHEG, it never achieved critical mass of support with other broadcasters.

No it's not, complaining about red button is a complete waste of time and doing nothing isn't. The direction of travel is clear given so many new TVs don't even support red button.

Yes that's a good way of describing it.

You can do that via several methods if you buy another HDR Fox T2, one method was even officially supported by Humax and there are better methods enabled by the custom firmware. There are plenty of HDR Fox T2s on eBay for very modest cost.

At a guess you are using Audio Description, which is pretty broken for any Humax version after 1.02.20 as I understand it.

It's not even within my comfort zone and I use custom firmware. I don't trust auto updates to keep my recordings working across the channel changes. I do the retune as a manual operation once or twice a year with a backup and restore of the recording schedule and I retune all the boxes I look...

BBC Teletext was on analogue TV and was shutdown at digital switchover over a decade ago. I hope you are asking about the BBC's digital text service.

Many years ago myhumax.org used to be a useful place since Barry had some sort of link into Humax. I had a couple of alpha test builds from Barry to check out the multiple transmitters auto tuning updates on HDR Fox T2 and HD Fox T2, and the changes Humax made in them did substantially improve...

I suggested people could come to hummy.tv. What an arse Barry is, shutting down his own site but refusing to allow links to potential replacements.

Is it still supported elsewhere? Raydon appears to have vanished a few years ago.

I second the request for the information to be copied here so we definitely have it provided hummy.tv keeps running. We can't be sure how long personal web sites will last. While I'm here, thanks for the work and posting it Mike.

Correct. Think about it, if traffic between devices on 100Mbps ports also sent that traffic to all 10 Mbps ports the 100 ports would be limited to 10 and there would be no point it being a dual speed hub, a 10Mbps hub would work just as well. Also there are separate collision LEDs for 10 and...

Unlikely, that would be more expensive to make.

So this 10/100 megabit 8 port Netgear hub I'm looking at is a figment of my imagination is it? I've had it for over 20 years. It's a 10 megabit hub and a 100 megabit hub with a switch between them. Each port is connected to the hub for the speed the port negotiates at. It's great for traffic...
