1. Recording challenge - need a genius (or a 10 yr old)
  
  Hummy is connected conventionally to TV by HDMI. Also connected to TV, by Scart, is a nest box camera on which we are watching Betty Blue Tit sitting on eggs (no comments, please, about voyeurism). My problem is that we'll be on holiday starting around the day the eggs are due to hatch and we'll...

2. Recording problem - Hostages
  
  That's interesting, Mike, I wonder why mine failed ... I hope it never does that for me with the 6 Nations!

3. Recording problem - Hostages
  
  Has any one else had a problem recording "Hostages" on BBC4 on Saturday evenings? After the first night I was faced with zero length "recordings" which I'd set up using the EPG as per normal. I cancelled the scheduled recording and reset it. The second week I realised that recording hadn't...

4. Thoroughly confused - please help
  
  Because, being a plonker, when I looked at http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Firmware_Downloads I read 1.02.32 as 1.03.32, as shown above - I'll go and stand in the corner ... Thanks for the clarification that CF includes the standard firmware.

  Oh, don't you just love it when ... After what seemed like about a dozen attempts to download the file, I posted the above and you can guess what happened. I've now got my Hummy in the best configuration for me (I think), using 1.03.12, hope I've not wasted too much of your time. ATB David

  Hi folks, I've been reading the excellent guides in the wiki but now I'm stuck. I started by installing CFW 1.03.32 because that's the latest and then found the i-Player didn't work. OK, when all else fails, read the instructions. I updated the Humax firmware to 1.30.12 and, yea verily, my...

  Sorry, BH, when I wrote this I didn't realise it would be a result of the Custom Firmware. Now, the problem for mere mortals is that we rarely going into these uncharted waters, so, when we do, we can't remember what we did, where we went etc etc (no, I'm not a teenager!) ;0) I'm following...

  This has been happening for about a week - whenever I switch on Hummy it now starts on BBC Red Button Chan 850. It used to start on the channel in use on shutdown (I think) but certainly not this. I've just upgraded to 1.03.12 and latest Custom Firmware but it's no different (thanks for the...

11. Not a show stopper, just an annoyance
  
  This seems to be the great unanswered debate. I started by using padding as I did on the 9200, then tried AR and liked it until it failed to start at the right time - but I'd have had the same problem if I'd been using padding... The whole Humax thing is good but this forum makes it a lot better...

  Thanks for the help, this is the first time I've done this and I'm a bit nervous. The release notes suggest that I can't do it to 1.02.28 and have I misunderstood about availability of 1.20.29? Am I on the right track or am I lost as usual?
