Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't have a 'scope or any idea how to get the test subject onto Black Hole's bench. I have purchased a docking statation with an eSata output and a eSATA to SATA cable for connecting my HDD, whilst powering it externally. But the humax doesn't always detect...

Hi, Thanks fo rthe suggestions ad advice on this forum. I have changed the PSU (used PSU bought online) but the Humax would not start unless the hard disk power supply was not connected. So I changed the hard disk (new 1 TB Seagate SkyHawk), but again it will not start unless the HDD power...

I have followed the steps for Steps for Resolving HDR-FOX Crash/Reboot Issues and after replacing the HDD, it seems as if the power supply board (pw808) seems to be the problem. I can not see any signs of component failure, so a replacement PSU is probably needed. Any suggestions on where a...

I have used the hidden menu to test the individual tuners, they appear to be the same signal strength and Quality. Strange that it is only one set of channels (mux) and only when recording.

No channels in the 800 range

Hi, back from France and Macclesfield, I do get to stay in some (un)exciting places. I had installed the package to disable autotune and looked at the channels before the factory reset. Only the Waltham transmitter channels were displayed. Unfortunately, the problem has returned. Box was...

Hi, Thanks for your help with this. I didn't perform a manual tune after the last factory reset. I foolishly let it auto-tune. I manually tuned (to the following) very many months ago. Waltham, 29, 31, 37, 49, 54, 56 and 57. We only noticed the pixelation in SD recordings when celebrity...

Hi, The factory reset worked for a couple of days, but now the pixelation has returned :-( Signal strength (78%) and Quality (100%) figures seem healthy and the MUX is COM6/ARQ B. I have pasted the channel information diag below. I will try another factory reset and manual tune. Channel...

Hi Black Hole, thanks for the suggestions. 1: Not using HDMI on that Humax 2: Have just replaced HDD (Smart data below) 3: Will try another factory reset Disk Information SMART Status PASSED Device Model ST1000VM002-1ET162 Serial Number S51307LZ LU WWN Device Id 5 000c50 08be46e6a Firmware...

I have a HDR Fox T2 in the bedroom which has pixelation problems when recording SD channels. It seems to be Channel 5 (Wife wants to watch Celeb. Big Brother), E4 and ITV2. The recordings are heavily pixelated and the live pictures also become un-watchable. However a reboot seems to clear the...

Excuse the posting again, but I am excited that something is working. The remote control instructions are now appearing in the humaxtv log :-) Thanks for all the help and advice. I will need to look at changing the hard disk

Thanks for your help, the WebIF remote control now works :-) I will now run ir3/debugon and wait for the next remote control problem to occur
