  Thanks, BH, but we've got fibre BB connection so I'd be surprised if it's a download buffering problem - or am i just showing my ignorance here?

  I'm very much the amateur here with only the sketchiest understanding of the technicalities so please be patient. I've been enjoying the documentary series, "The Vietnam War" on BBC4 and recording it on the Hummy but for some reason Episode 10 didn't record so I thought I'd watch it on the...

  Well, it's been a good learning day. I titled the thread with a need to catch up and that meant with newer hardware and this new-fangled You View. In the midst of all that, the oven packed in when I was baking and just putting in the bread - it must be a Humax oven because it has worked fine...

  You're right BH but I like cherries and am too frightened of screwing the whole thing by running tests I don't really understand. Are you suggesting the whole battery of items listed in PuTTY?

  Thanks, Martin, I have no idea how to interpret the numbers, to me ID1 looks pretty dramatic but I'm happy that it looks OK to you. Fixdisk ran and stalled a number of times but did complete without listing any errors, just said lots of things were checked. It was all so much easier in DOS3.2...

  What a forum this is! Thanks to all the above; I didn't realise there could be a way of disposing of it without resorting to the recycling centre. Black Hole - your links is excellent and I thought that the Disk Repair option would be worth a try, so I've backed up all recordings (found a use...

  Follow up after doing a bit of searching (which I should have done before my first post). Question 1 still stands but I see I've had this Hummy since Jan 2011 so it doesn't owe me a great deal. I'm fairly sure Q3 is yes subject to formatting and testing. For Q2, do you think the DTR-T2000 (You...

  Hi, I've not been around the forum for some time and that's probably been because the TV and Hummy have been working fine. That all stopped last week when we started to watch a recorded programme and the Hummy hung up then restarted a number of times. I did the usual - switch off at the back...

  Many thanks to you both. I've not used Telnet for donkeys years but it's all done, Fixdisk ran in about 20 mins and completed with no alarming messages and Hummy should now be restarting out of Maintenance mode. Fingers crossed that this was just one of those transient events which come along to...

  I would be quite confident with this if the disk was in my PC but I'm floundering somewhat here. Does this mean I've got to go into the Maintenance Mode - for the first timer it seems that "there be dragons" ;o) Can you walk me through it please?

  All is safely backed up now and to my inexperienced eye the HD reports seem ok. Shall I just carry on and make a note of any error messages if another failure occurs? Strangely, the crash log shows only 1 this month so it may be terminology, I wouldn't say the Humax crashed the other day - it...

  Ahaa! Brilliant fast answer - thanks Harvey. He did say that he always reset all to maker's default and I had to switch the server back on, perhaps that should have been a clue but I don't go in here very often! I've turned off Auto Power Off as well - is that correct?
