I think the problem when switching on and loss of responsiveness of the remote are different problems. Your first post implies that the unit is still in standby (small clock showing). Where as the response only to standby (plus volume and I think Mute) is that the unit is doing something else...

I was referring to many weeks of router activity. Typical DHCP client design is to request renewal any time after 50% of the lease. Typical DHCP server design is to always reassign an address to the same MAC unless it is unavailable. I assign address reservations to most of my clients...

Not at all but such devices with a processor and ram like a router can have memory corruption problems especially after a very long period of continuous use.

Did you try resetting your router ?

Do you have a separate AMP?

Unusual - Stereo out normally fixes this. Unless you have another bit of kit you have not mentioned then look to the TV settings. We presume a simple HDR-1000S to TV HDMI connection.

The original point was in relation of operating current as AV drives are low power. That a drive needed two USB socket connections suggests that it is not low power. It also rather depends as to how the drive is used, for example on the HB-1000S the external drive is used continuously for the...

No, but all PVR's are designed to have AV grade drives (designed for continuous recording of multiple streams). They also have less error detection (The odd corrupted byte will not be noticed). These drives also pull less power. Humax always use them. (usually Seagate but other brands are used...

Normal on most HD channels - the output is encoded with the HDMI channel - if you do not have an amp or TV that understands this the change the sound setting for digital audio out to stereo.

I would add that the device does expect low power AV drives.

Not fully correct, it does work on the HB-1000S but not on the HDR-1010S and the HDR-1010s. Hopefully the HD-1000S will still work on 901 after they fix the HDR-10x0S problem.

I noticed today that 901 is not working and sits with the loading message. Via either the Home > On-demand route and backwards EPG all function correctly. This is nothing to do with the June firmware update however. The content, if it appears, comes from the BBC servers. Likely a problem...

I do know that other users have unpaired their units by the provided method. Try putting the unit in standby and doing a power cycle for 60 secs. I do believe they are using the unit ID to pair/unpair (also for YouTube). What is the unit paired to?

You either need a dongle with the correct chipset for what should work is a Wi-Fi access point. From the PVR's point of view a Wi-Fi access point is a hard wired connection.

No, on all counts. The only connection possible at present is to a DLNA Server.
