  1MW ERP so a lot less actually goes up the mast. [Edit] Having watched the video I see antenna gain was mentioned briefly.

  720p is my default so 125MB and a 20 second download on a PC with Tartube. A meterered connection? How quaint...

6. Foxsat-HDR remote control RM-F01.
  
  You're right - the it's just got a play/pause button that only sends the play code so it's a toggle. I should have investigated further. When time and inclination coincide I'll go through the DTR-1010 one to see how its codes compare - many years back we were doing interactive point-of-sale...

7. Foxsat-HDR remote control RM-F01.
  
  The RM-109U also controls the HD(R) Fox T2 but has a few seldom-used buttons missing and only controls the HDR and TV using the MDB1.3_01 code library. I know as I picked up a 1GB DTR-1010 for £15 from a charity shop on Saturday just for the HDD, reasoning that as the remote was spotless it...

  If this is correct then this eBay seller has just one genuine RM-F04 left at £27.50 delivered: dcsalesint I can confirm that these are genuine Humax remotes sealed in a bag.

10. Is there a way to read exfat SD / USB cards?
  
  Had a Sandisk USB drive do that when providing a bit of NAS on a TP-Link C8 router being used as a WAP. Apparently it happens it when the controller detects a file system error and puts the card into RO mode to protect the contents. Can't remember what FS - it handles FAT32, exFat, NTFS or HFS+...

  I indirectly know a Richard Head, and someone I used to know called their son Wayne in complete innocence when the family name was King. He died not of embarassment but on a motorcycle in his early 20s before I knew the family.

  Back in the 70-80s when I was designing security alarm kit we'd often get support calls asking why one of our control panels was making a loud chirp every 30 seconds or so. I'll leave it to the reader to figure out what the true culprit was in every case.

  Yes, I realised it was a merging artefact - the 'two' letter Ls aren't parallel for a start. My point was that there's part of the brain that can spot errors like this when you're not consciously looking for them.
