I hadn't realised how much is out there on ebay. Dozens of HDR Fox T2s for less than £50, dozens of remotes for less than £10. I don't think I need to buy anything, those supplies are not going to dry up overnight. There's way more stock out there than pretty much anything else I've bought on ebay.
OK so it's a 6Gb/s drive running at 3 Gb/s. But is that done using jumpers on the drive or is it auto downgrading?
Turns out I have two WD10EZEX, I have no idea where one of them came from! And they do have jumpers, on the edge of the drive though with no markings of any kind. I was looking on...
Does anyone know if Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX can be used in an HDR Fox T2 with 1.03.12 and 3.13 custom firmware:

I know it isn't ideal being 7200rpm, but I have one that is barely used and never...
I never go in local charity shops, indeed I rarely go in shops at all these days apart from Sainsburys and M&S Simply Food. Perhaps I should start going in charity shops when I pass them, but the chances of there being an HDR Fox T2 in there on the rare occasions I'm passing seems low.
I could do with some more remotes as well. My two are in excellent condition and all the buttons work. But my parents and my aunt's have half the rubber buttons semi destroyed due to my mum and my aunt pressing them with their finger nails. And one or two of the buttons on their remotes don't...
Turns out the "No Signal" on a soft reboot with vertical tuners has been reported before by @everthewatcher. I think for now we should assume it is common to all vertical tuner boxes until we see some counter examples (which since they're working probably no-one will report, why would they)...
If anyone has working spare boxes within reasonable distance of Cambridge or Holmfirth I'd be willing to drive to pick one or two up since I'm now down to just one spare between 4 in use HDR Fox T2s (and I don't know whether it works or not...)
Aha it's not just my newly pulled out of the loft and pressed into service vertical tuners box that does the "No signal" after a soft reboot. I think with two reports we should assume they all do this until proven otherwise. My desire to avoid any more vertical tuners boxes is reinforced...
I'm on 1.03.12, I've never used anything else since that became available. One of my boxes has vertical tuners so can only run 1.03.12.
I've always been aware that if you need Audio Description then 1.02.20 is the least worst option but still has issues. I wasn't aware it can't handle...
It did seem odd to me, I agree they shouldn't be involved. Is the timeshift buffer not encrypted for HD channels? The box has definitely lost something though and putting it into standby and coming back out fixes it.
I had a quick look on eBay. There are a hell of a lot of HDR Fox T2s for sale...
Having recently tried to use slow motion and found how hard it is to freeze on the frame I want, I'll probably have a go at using this now.
What I am finding is programme makers increasingly think we are all watching on 65" screens so they can show a flash of a mobile phone screen for less than...
I've never set a custom encryption key on any of my boxes, two of which are set to auto decrypt all videos. (My parents and aunt's boxes are not set to auto decrypt, since I have no direct access to them most of the time I run simpler configurations on them.)
