      Health of HDD after fix-disk

      Thanks prpr and everyone. I've had some more offline uncorrectables develop and am now at 232. These seemed to come after the HDD stalled on playback/fast forward then recovered. What I'd like to do is immediately install a new drive and put the old drive in my caddy to copy across to the new...

      Health of HDD after fix-disk

      Thanks. Given I'm no expert you agree this seems to be dying? Edit: Amazon say their warranty ends at 2 years but its still in warranty with Seagate. I'd never considered that so nice tip. I'm still going to need a new drive to copy the old files onto though so I guess the warranty replacement...

      Health of HDD after fix-disk

      Yes, its a Pipeline that is failing now. I replaced the original HDD which came with the Hummy in March 2017 with the Pipeline 2TB. That is the one that is failing now. I'm also a bit pissed it hasn't lasted longer. It was an Amazon purchase with no details of warranty. Looking online it looks...

      Health of HDD after fix-disk

      Hi again, So subsequent to my last post I have today for current pending sector and offline uncorrectable sector warnings. To me this suggests I have a failing HDD that I should replace even though many other stats seem to look good. Its a shame but I'd rather get stuff copied off before the...

      Health of HDD after fix-disk

      Thanks Martin. No I didn't know there was a fan package, how does that work? It might have something to do with the PS4 sat on top on the Hummy though :-/

      Health of HDD after fix-disk

      Hi folks, Just got home to find a surprising HDD failure (absolutely no issues at all until today) but got it back up with Fix-disk. Would appreciate your thoughts on the health of the HDD itself after recovery. I'm no expert but its nowhere near as bad looking as last time I had a failing...

      Tunefix problem

      Just for info prpr I didnt do anything else but the doubling of channel 56 resolved itself anway. It just disappeared from the list in Mux info and with this Signal detection showed the expected signal strength. Can't say I understand it and don't need to really but I didn't change Tunefix and...

      Tunefix problem

      So I have deleted the doubled services via the Humax Edit Channels as it felt less threatening and everything works fine. Its not that important but I still have this doubling of channel 56 in Mux info though. I tried a Channel 56 retune and the Humax simply reports no services. Signal detection...

      Tunefix problem

      Thanks everyone, especially prpr. I also take the point about two types of "channel" and the potential confusion but you guys are smart and can certainly understand! Post 10 edited to forum standard, looks way better and saves space.

      Tunefix problem

      Thanks prpr. Two questions if I may. Firstly do you mind explaining what that new file will do so I understand. Secondly is there a benefit to doing that over simply deleting the duplicate non-fucntioning channels via Edit Channels on the Humax? That option just feels like I'm fiddling less and...

      Tunefix problem

      I'm still learning here. I've just looked at the Mux Info in diagnostics. This shows COM5 at channel 37 - the manual retune I did - with 16 channels. It still shows COM5 at channel 56 though too with 3 channels those being Really, Sony Movie Channel and Sky News (I've looked and found I have a...

      Tunefix problem

      As with alanofcleeves my dual channels show on the humax EPG but not in the tunefix channel list. His option to delete the channel on the Humax rather than sort this in tunefix is definitely an option.

      Tunefix problem

      Thanks for the replies. Sounds like you guys can help more if I go through more exactly the sequence of things for to pick through. I'm referring to the recent Feb retune. I am on the Waltham transmitter. Nottingham transmitter is another option here but we are on Waltham. I had tune fix set...

      Tunefix problem

      Hi, Hope you can advise. I had everything working smoothly here until the Freeview retune. After this I lost some HD channels but reading in the forums lead me to update tunefix and indeed this fixed that issue. I have now found an issue with tunefix I cant work around. I had Really set to...

      HDD failure help

      Hi Martin (or anyone else who knows!) Is it that easy if I use a 2TB hard drive? I'm reading instructions on this elsewhere and it is stated the T2 cant format a 2TB drive itself and the process is more complicated. Is that correct?
