It's you posting a crap generalised opinion re-satellite vs Freview and applying to one location. Of course trees can stop both Freeview and Satellite.

I have lost my satellite signal about twice in 10 yrs. Both times wet snow on the dish face. Dish about 6ft off the ground. Fixed in 5 mins with a broom. Rainfade - crap alignment or needs a larger dish for your location. As for terrestrial uplift conditions in high pressure is common...- grahamlthompson

Strange that blueray only supports 1080p at 24 fps. To get 50 you need to reduce the resolution to 720p (1280 x 720). You do of course need a TV that can actually synch at 24Hz, Your post indicates the strong possibility that yours cannot do so, Not noticed anyone unhappy with bluray...- grahamlthompson

Freesat Tune Fails
Every transponder that carries a freesat channel carries the full epg in a round data robin. This trickle charges the epg copy in NVram. You can get an instant epg by using schedule and then pressing red. What you should have done first is check channel 999 is present. This is the freesat...- grahamlthompson

I have never seen a pvr of any age or make that has two drive bays. nobody but you with your wierd ideas would ever use it.

Because it has to wake up from active to full operation except for video and audio output about 10 mins before a scheduled recording is due to start to watch for the broadcaster accurate recording start signals.

It's not active in full sby. The box has a statutory power consumption of less than 0.5W nowhere near enough power to run the HDD. There also no rf loop ampifier.

As I understand it you are using a device connected to one of the Aura ports to indicate the box is in full sby, or is the device purely powered by the Humax 5V output. And it has a delay after you hear the HDD shut down. The device I use has no delay it's just a led. Yours presumably is...- grahamlthompson

Switch off the rear power switch on a Foxsat-HDR in full low power standby. It takes about 20 seconds before the front LED goes out. If you restore the power before the led goes out it doesn't even stop the clock. So no reboot to restart the clock takes place at all.- grahamlthompson

Easy way to tell. With the Aura fully on. Unplug the usb cable. How long does it take before the device LED goes out ? A single led only draws about 10mA at 5V, so charged capacitors in the device can probably maintain this current for a significant time.- grahamlthompson

The Humax Youview boxes are slow in the most energy saving standby mode. Boot time to 1 minute 27 Seconds. Shut down to full standby: 7 minutes However User response is a lot faster than a HDR-FOX-T2. It's the fastest unit of any Humax PVR of any other Humax pvr I have owned and it's a...- grahamlthompson

It's wired via a 16 way Gigabit network switch using a 300Mbps pair of homeplug to reach the Wireless Netgear Nighthawk router network switch upstairs.

Why not ? Selecting low power standby no longer affects a recording in progress neither does a subsequent recording stop the box going back into full sby. The firmware update previous to the new one sorted this out.- grahamlthompson
