      Hdmi issue with Bravia

      Nope. It does have a 3.5mm AV socket, though finding an adaptor to convert the three AV sockets on the back of the Humax to the 3.5mm format used by Panasonic has proved tricky to say the least. The usual type of adaptor cable sold in many different guises by Amazon and on eBay doesn't work...

      Hdmi issue with Bravia

      You wouldn't happen to be able to remember the make/model of your matrix switch? If I'm going to take a punt on something like that I'd prefer to try a device that has been proven to work for other folks! EDIT: As I understand it, it needs to be something that supports switching between...

      Hdmi issue with Bravia

      I've seen references to that solution. AIUI it has to be a matrix switch rather than a one-to-many, and they seem to run in to three figures price-wise. I'm loathe to shell out that much more cash just to get a flippin' telly working properly. Looks like I'll be having a row serious talk with...

      Hdmi issue with Bravia

      Hmm. Well, I've tried all the loader versions and it's still green screening. I've tried multiple HDMI cables, I've tried all the HDMI ports on the TV and I've tried with no other HDMI devices plugged in. Green screen every time - although sometimes the behaviour is slightly different. With...

      Hdmi issue with Bravia

      That link doesn't seem to work, unfortunately. Are the loaders available anywhere else? I have a currently incurable green screen problem with my brand new 55" Panasonic and I'd dearly like to try one of the later loader versions to see if one might fix it - my HDR currently has a7.30. EDIT...

      Humax seems to have done a factory reset all on its own

      It's genuinely the first time mine has done it. That's probably why it never occurred to me to search the forum before posting - I thought it was an extremely unusual thing to happen. I shall consider myself having been extremely fortunate to date - and reassured for the future! I got myself...

      Humax seems to have done a factory reset all on its own

      I started up the Humax this evening and there was a screen I don't recall ever seeing before, asking me to choose my subtitle preferences. After faffing about with the box for a while, including a full power-off and restart from scratch, It turned out that it was going through the...

      Hardware clock incorrectly set

      Here's the dumpe2fs output once the fixdisk had completed (with no faults found) and the box had ben rebooted a couple of times: Anything stand out?

      OK, thanks: I'll give a go once the fixdisk has completed.

      Hardware clock incorrectly set

      Having had a couple of crashes in the last week, I decided to run fixdisk. It's thrown the following error/infomation message twice so far: So my questions are: Is this a cause for concern i.e. does it need to be fixed? If so, how can it be fixed? I suspect this may be a hangover from the...

      15s delay responding to play, pause, stop etc

      Thanks all for your explanations and advice. The HDD has thrown a couple of recoverable errors recently. I'm thinking that, although the checks indicate that it's OK, it might be worth at least having a replacement on standby just in case. My understanding is that it's advisable to use an HDD...

      15s delay responding to play, pause, stop etc

      Yup, just finished running fixdisk, output below. It seems to think there is a problem with the redring.log file but I've no idea how to address that. Otherwise I think it looks as if it's fixed the problem. Please select option: fixdisk Any additional options (-h for list or press return for...

      15s delay responding to play, pause, stop etc

      First noticed this misbehaviour this evening; when playing recordings the box hangs for ~15s before responding to play, pause, stop, FFWS and RWD commands (oddly, skip forward and skip back work fine). The box does not respond to any other remote key presses - e.g. the Mute button - while it is...

      Humble feature request

      Thanks, I'll give sweeper a go. I thought it would be a long shot. The Simpsons on C4 is broadcast at 16:9 whether the actual programme content is widescreen or not. If it's not it just has black bands added each side to fill up the empty space either side of the actual image.

      Humble feature request

      I was wondering whether it would be possible for the "Mark new" function to be performed on more than one file at a time, e.g. by ticking the check box against each recording required to be marked as new, and thern having a 'batch action' button at the bottom of the window as there is for...

      Box schedules *two* instances of the same programme

      Ah, OK, thanks for the tip. I hate those split schedules. I've heard that they're used to get round the rules about the number and lengths of ad breaks in long programmes by inserting a short "film news" programme part way through. If I were OFCOM I'd be telling the TV companies to stop taking...

      Box schedules *two* instances of the same programme

      I've just tried to schedule a recording of Thunderball at 19:20 this evening (Saturday) on ITV4, from the EPG. I was puzzled when the box prompted me to sort out a clash with two other programmes scheduled to be recorded, but on Thursday night. I went in to the recording schedule and cancelled...

      undelete and USB drives

      Can confirm that deleting a recording from the USB drive via the TV screen UI does not cause a copy to be made in the dustbin on the internal HDD. Neither does it move the recording to a dustbin on the USB drive. The same goes for deleting recordings on the USB drive (including all sidecar...

      undelete and USB drives

      Nope. As I say, the reported behaviour is as observed when using the WebIF. I've yet to test it using the user interface on the TV screen. But as it happens I have an opportunity to do so just now, having transferred some recordings off from the USB drive earlier today. Watch this space...
