      I bet there are some caveats. To make it permanent you need to manually update the X11 configuration: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=226242 I normally use Fedora: where if things are otherwise working as expected and there is only a problem with the available resolutions, then I...

      Replacement HDD not detected

      The OP has stated the disk works fine on Win10 and has formatted it (post #1); and has managed to see it, if not all that reliably, on "Mint" (post #2); but that it is "not detected" on T2 (post #1). This might suggest that the Humax software itself is not observing the disks presence for some...

      Replacement HDD not detected

      A bit of a very long shot: have you tried using Mint to create a new partition table and trying it in the T2 again? I can only see talk of "deleting partitions"... OTOH: it might be time time to give up on this disk?

      Electrical supply tripping out

      My opinion is yes (based on experience and talking to others): power cuts can cause things to trip (usually the RCDs, maybe the MCBs (but not the "Main Switch")). As it happens we had a lot of power cuts here a few weeks back. When the power went off cleanly and came back on cleanly, the RCDs...

      Electrical supply tripping out

      But it is precisely the occurrence of "not normal circumstances" that the RCD is intended to protect us against. Let us consider a scenario: a loved one is plugging in a "wall wart" charger for their cell phone/other device; the plastic casing comes apart just as it slides in and, you know how...

      Electrical supply tripping out

      Yes: new builds and rewired homes. But also "possible" yes: As I understand it, if you have a new circuit added or substantial work on an existing circuit/installation, then there are parts to the regulations controlling whether or not the installation needs to be brought up to date. I think...

      Maintain altitude would be another instruction; if the other aircraft is told to ascend, the first might not be able to descend if that would take it in to the path of a third?

      Loss of control

      Or the humaxtv process's thread(s) that control that side of things are running happily; but maybe the one(s) that control the remote interaction have failed in some way.

      Yeah, the gotchas and caveats... :) agreed, I cannot think anyone has time to investigate 2. 3 I don't know, as long as the box is on: maybe (I am guessing without checking) some sequence (like BACK, BACK, BACK, EXIT, EXIT, EXIT, or something, using "current state awareness" to avoid certain...

      Controlling Box Via Amazon Echo

      I think it might be theoretically possible, maybe (there’s bound to be caveats and gotchas, limitation of the platform); but the amount of time and effort required could also be an issue… Anyway, I would assume an application providing such an interface might be possible using one of the...

      Google's your PAL? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSFgolB7HHE @06:00 for the click track (if it's the one I think BH means). I have no idea how correctly synchronised. or not, this version might be.

      Screen Display

      Like BH I have mine permanently set to Pillar Box (also 16:9 and 1080p); my TV has options of "Zoom" and "Smart" if I get tired of the black bars on old programs (and it does a reasonable job). There is also the "Wide" button on the Humax remote you could try to help see if that might be your...

      Windows 10!!

      Ah, "interesting" as Amazon are selling them directly (via "Prime") (Fulfilled by Amazon). Unclear what one can really do about it (the last time I reported similar nothing happened). Of course, I wasn't looking at this from the viewpoint of a cheap route to Windows 10. Thanks for the heads-up.

      BBC iPlayer Quality

      We used to get 1280 x 720p at 25fps; they're saying that for the new profile of 960x540p at 50fps "subjective assessments shows it delivers significantly better pictures on TV screens across a wide range of popular content (such as EastEnders and Top Gear) due to its higher frame rate.".
