  Unable to connect to HDR Fox T2 via Telnet or PuTTY
  
  Agreed. It's all very well using a multimeter to perform simple checks (blown fuse etc.) on an electrically 'dead' unit with the covers off, but using one in a live state is a different ball game, especially with switched-mode PSUs involved. You need to be VERY aware that the PSU has a 'hot' and...

  No, in my first comment I mentioned just re-creating only the folder itself and the flags within it.

  Yes, fair enough, create the flag in the folder. Even though the folder gets moved wholesale, the flag still exists and can be acted on.

  Given how upset the Humax code got with the immutable flag it seems then that you need to allow the Humax to do its bidding. However there might still be a way to do this. You implement 'Mark for no deletion' in Webif OPT+, but this doesn't actually change or create any flags in-situ, it simply...

  [suggestion] Pooling Recordings
  
  Any criticism would be entirely unjustified. It immediately struck me as the elephant in the room before even reading any of the ensuing technical debate. Whilst I fully accept that the cause would be in a spirit of benevolence and 'not for profit', I doubt the broadcasters would see it like that.

  [CFW 3.11] Customised Firmware v3.11 released.
  
  I've been on 1.02.32 for a very long time, having briefly tried 1.03.12 when it was first released, but gave up due to the EPG issues. I just tried it again on the new CF out of curiosity, and the EPG lag is as equally bad as I remember, so back to 1.02.32 again. This is a big enough showstopper...

  Can I use a Media Streamer to watch HD recordings from a USB stick?
  
  Back when Kodi was still called XBMC it didn't handle HD from the Humax very well on a RPi (at least in my experience). The latest version running on OpenElec seems much better. Which Kodi version did you try? Have never tried OSMC, so can't comment on how well that runs.

  Can I use a Media Streamer to watch HD recordings from a USB stick?
  
  What were you using on the Raspberry Pi to play HD files? Both my kids have a Pi connected to their bedroom TV and run Kodi to stream HD stuff via DLNA from the downstairs HDR, so in principle the Pi has the horsepower to do this, and I imagine should be even better direct from a USB stick.

  As Raydon suggests, run the script without the leading ./ The '.' specifies the start of the path you are defining as being the current folder you are sitting in, so the script won't run if it isn't in that same folder. Using simply myscript.sh should try all folders in $PATH.

  Nice package, many thanks. Minor improvement for a future version, please could the channel number boxes for the force channel numbers be wide enough to accommodate 4 digits instead of 3. I have BBC One London assigned to channel 1001, which currently shows on the settings page as simply '100’.
