Installing the Custom Firmware will allow power off of the -T2 via the WebIF remote without affecting the 4k box state.

I believe this is a known issue with the (Arris made) freesat 4k/recordable box https://www.freesat.co.uk/help/faqs/remote-interference? and all Humax PVRs. No fix as far as I know. See AVForums and DigitalSpy threads on the Arris / freesat 4k box for confirmation.

250 on my HDR-Fox-T2 ex Sandy Heath is fine, the colourful MHEG slate appears quite quickly. It's not my default channel on switch on if that makes a difference. My Panny OLED being HbbTV capable produces just a black screen for a variable length of time before a stark b&w text message appears...

But how? Re-pointing an aerial? Switching between aerials? We need @Peter H to come back and answer the transmitters and reception issue questions if possible. Remember these PVRs generally don't play well with a mix of English and Welsh EPGs.

I didn't. I try not to assume too much. I can't think of a location where Wenvoe would be used but there is a Vp relay of West ITV/Bristol BBC in a similar direction off the top of my head. {Relays being Vp and mains Hp should need two aerials for best reception but RF is an art as much as a...

I'd agree with that! Also what does a TV report as signal level/quality from the same muliplex frequencies. If the same poor reception for English TV then it's signal related not tuner sensitivity. I'd also be interested in exactly which two transmitters are involved and how the two aerials...

It is 1080p on compatible devices - as is UHD in the "trial". That's been discussed and explained (almost ad nauseum, here and elsewhere). BBC simply have higher expenditure and development priorities (as much as I'd also like iPlayer to be 5.1 surround sound system viewers are still in a...

Analogue TV Teletext services (BBC Ceefax, ITV Oracle/Teletext Ltd) were pretty revolutionary in providing information to the Public (and Trade) in an era (1974-75 onwards) where there was no other way so universally available. (Fax, ticker tape news feeds, telegrams and voice telephony being...

Friend needs to get Internet installed? HbbTV went live in 2017 and some sets still support both MHEG and HbbTV, I suspect. https://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/red-button Things move on... AM radio is ceasing... other (current) TV and Radio broadcasting will follow and be replaced by a modern...

Thanks for the head up. Strangely (at least some of) those channels are duplicated, on different Tps, and still MP2 while others are MP4 according to scans taken on https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?live=69&mux=11954&liste=2&lang=en

Sunwoofer-Amp is an inanimate object so IT would be correct English; although in French and German it is a masculine noun, so I'll forgive you. ;) As to the other part - "waning powers" - again. :cool:

Then "It's Dead Jim" as Scotty would say - especially as all the other 5.1 sources you tried gave nowt out of the sub. I recently got new front speakers for my 7.2 Onkyo 515 and the sub makes quite a lot of 'white noise' during the calibration test tones (albeit the sub is a separate...

Test tones? Does the sub play then? Power off every device and unplug from mains for 5 minutes then reconnect /power up. Any change? Swap hdmi cables for others. Factory reset the Onkyo? If the above don't help then it sounds like a coincidental subwoofer amp failure - which for a device...

Not in Direct mode (and mebbe others that's why one needs to read the manual). Onkyo specifically mentions the "only LFE channel to sub" in Direct mode for that model device. My memory for my TX-NR515 is too vague to be sure which modes bypass the DSP filtering to the sub and which use it...

I'd suspect this is a coincidence and not related to the Aura reset. Most likely that the Onkyo is in a Direct mode that doesn't process the audio to pass low frequencies to the sub. Read the manuals? Aura and Freeview TV tuners will only have .1 LFE sub data on the rare 5.1 broadcasts on HD...
