Thanks for the info. I've had this Humax box, going on 10 year (maybe more!), and this is the first time (at least that I can remember) that this has happened!

Hi, This morning, I switch on my Humax box, from standby, and it looks to have been system reset, going through the first time power on tuning, a language setting, region settings etc, and it reset things in preferences to default. I'm not sure why it did this, any ideas? Does the HDR-Fox...

The drive is not the original one, since that died, it is a 500mb drive. I ended up just wiping it and starting over again. It's a shame I deleted the files of the HDR-T2 HD after copying them back over the first time, but when I first plugged it back in and all the files where listed, and...

Not sure what happened, all looked good to start with, but after recording more new programmes, the ones I put back on, stopped being able to play, locking up the box. Just have to start again with a freshly recorded drive. Looking at the disk to try copying off again, it shows most of the...

All looked good. Fdisk -l listed the devices, /dev/sda was the 9300T, copped off using the -b option ok, it took a few goes to work out the -p option, but humaxrw -p “*.ts”/dev/sda worked. After each .ts it copied the corresponding support files. Plugged it all back together and all works fine...

Found it to be /dev/sda device name. Humaxrw -b backs up to current dir, including ts, elu, epg, and hre files, hopefully what’s needed to restore. Hopefully -p option can put them back?

Having plugged the 9300 hd into USB port how do I mount it? What device should it be?

I see that there is the humaxrw utility package to copy files from a 9300T to the HDR, question is, can this be used to restore the files back from the HDR Fox 2 onto a 9300T that has been freshly formatted? What command options should be used to this?

It would seem that there is one specific directory that seems to be causing the main locking up problem. If I try to ls in that directory is just hangs, same when thing trying to access via ftp. Is there a way to recover that one specific directory via it's inode, using superblocks / alternate...

Can I connect a second HDD internally via Sata cable in order to transfer file from one to the other as a backup, then reformat original? If so what's the best way to copy the stuff off? cp -R? Do you think I should just abort the e2fsck now?

It's a 2tb hard disk with over 500gb free.

hi, I had a problem last night where the hard disk contents could not be viewed from the media menu, with a processing dialog that would not disappear. Trying to access the diagnostics section from the web-interface seemed to lock it up as well. The hard disk is visible, as it shows the...

Over the past few weeks I have had trouble with scheduled ITV series linked programmes (in particular Emmerdale) failing to record often getting zero size files, sometimes nothing at all and other times two copies, one with zero size the second only 15 mins recorded. Does anyone know it there is...

By default, without the fan package it set it off, so I thought just giving it a bit a light air flow would be enough just to extend the period between being switched on to full by the normal Humax service, also keeping fan noise to a minimum. Setting it 99% was just to quickly cool it down...

I installed the latest package version after the failure, although there were only 3, none of them being the fan package. Although the hard disk diagnostic stated 69 degrees, the system monitor only showed a maximum of 55 degrees - then a period of no reports - but there was obviously a power...
