RF input problem
That sounds like the RF input socket has been broken off the tuner. Wouldn't be the first time it's been reported and I've had to fix it on a Sony high-end VHF tuner. Easy enough to fix if you know your way round a soldering iron but then not everyone is.- everthewatcher

Problems setting up new HD-Fox T2
Wouldn't be the first time that's happened, particularly with even cheap flyleads. First came across this with my father's first Freeview box when a Maplin lead, used for reasons now forgotten as I usually make my own, made one mux disappear. It only came to light when I was back home 16 miles...- everthewatcher

[webif] Web Interface 1.4.x
You're using Win7 IIRC? It can do that from time to time. I've only had a month or so's experience using Win10 in anger on my main PC but I've not had this happen yet.- everthewatcher

It looks like the disk has gone read-only and I'll need some hand-holding
I'll hazard a guess at what was happening. Both the Vol +/- and the Prog +/- capacitive sense pads on the PCB have a screw between them which relies on the solder resist to stop them shorting together the pads on either side. Spotted this when I pulled the VFD filter off and put fibre washers on...- everthewatcher

Electricity blues... and greens, and reds...
Not the clear 'decorative' ones but the frosted ones which are fairly new. The substrate the LED dies are mounted on is glass so not that fragile. The mainstream manufacturers, e.g. Philips, are now doing them. But even then there are different levels of quality - see this YT video from Big Clive.- everthewatcher

So it was just coincidence then. FWIW the HDR in question here was the later V2/RE.- everthewatcher

I can't see why but it's some coincidence. It's not proof though - I'll have to find time and enthusiasm to try it again for that.- everthewatcher

Nope. I swapped the front panel PCB, put the HDR back where it lives and powered it up. All seemed OK so I left it on Came back to it around 6:45pm to find it hadn't recorded the 6pm BBC News The red ring was on as expected as it was scheduled to record the BBC local news Initial reaction was...- everthewatcher

I'm struggling too. I've not looked to see if the ATmega164 is handling the fluorescent display drive but if it's not it does seem to be a bit underused just dealing with the IR remote, the LED drive and the touchpads. I've done IR decoding with an ATtiny2313 that also drove a 2x16 line LCD...- everthewatcher

Remote control not working
You took the bait. I'd add that cells side-by-side will (usually) have them in opposing directions but not when in-line.- everthewatcher

Remote control not working
I've got a black RT-531B in the things-to-eBay box, used but no wear on the keys and minimal handling polish. Just tested it and all keys work perfectly. [Edit] Have you got the batteries/cells in the right way round? I've done that myself.- everthewatcher

Many thanks once again to those responsible for the tools that let me sort this out. I'm still wondering what happened here - it's too much of a coincidence for my liking.- everthewatcher

Of course fixweb was staring me in the face from the Telnet menu and did the trick. Many thanks BH. Usually I'd have regarded this a challenge but I'm not in that kind of state of mind ATM. [Edit] Ran fix-flash-packages just in case.- everthewatcher

OK, Fixdisk has done it's stuff and found loads of errors, some may have been down to my having to power-cycle it as it was reluctant to power down last night. I've not tried a recording yet. It's recording and deleting OK. The webif is still giving '500 Internal Server Error' - how do I go...- everthewatcher
