  slow epg
  
  I'm just wondering: has anyone who got a new or reconditioned box with 1.03.xx installed from the factory complained about or confirmed a slow EPG? It occurred to me that 1.03.12 is the first 1.03.xx release that has officially been available as an upgrade to boxes running 1.02.xx - 1.03.06...

  HDR-FOX on 1.03.12: how to get the custom firmware back
  
  Thanks for the explanation, I'll probably give it a go. (ISTR that there used to be a "thanks" button on the forum which avoided having to post like this. I can't see it in Safari, Chrome or Firefox on my Mac. Has it been taken away?)

  HDR-FOX on 1.03.12: how to get the custom firmware back
  
  There's a couple of entries in that table which state "Download and install official 1.03.12" (against "Official other" and "CFW other"). Is 1.03.12 available to download without the CFW, or am I misunderstanding something? I'm currently running official 1.03.06 with CFW 2.20. Am I right in...

  Transfer Radio Recordings to PC using only PC
  
  Why do you need to use FileZilla for this step? Doesn't the USB stick just appear in Windows explorer as a removable storage device that you can copy or move files to and from?

  Closed Poll Have you had problems recording the new HD channels?
  
  I'm fairly certain that other forum members have also reported different behaviours on different boxes running the same firmware and receiving the same signal. I'd suggest swapping the boxes around ie putting HDR1 in HDR2's place, and vice versa, and doing some test recordings. If HDR2 still...

  Failed Recording of New BBC Four HD Channel
  
  You can re-tune the multiplex (bundle of TV channels on one UHF channel) that BBC4 HD is broadcast on. You will lose any scheduled recordings for all the TV channels on that multiplex, but the recording schedule for TV channels on other multiplexes will be unaffected. Given that there aren't...

  Closed Poll Have you had problems recording the new HD channels?
  
  My recordings of Bridge II on HD from Craigkelly worked fine last weekend, although I had definitely had the zero length recording problem with BBC4HD previously. I might try another test recording this evening (if I can find a gap in SWMBO's recording schedule ;-)

  Failed Recording of New BBC Four HD Channel
  
  If you only want to re-tune the BBC4HD mux then you'd have to do a manual re-tune - there's no other way. If you want to do a full re-tune then you have the option of doing an automatic one and then deleting any duplicates, but you run the risk of the proper versions of certain channels ending...

  Are you sure that your retune didn't pick up duplicate channels? Where I am in Edinburgh I can pick up transmissions from both Black Hill and Craigkelly on my main aerial, even though they're ninety degrees apart and the aerial is pointing bang at Craigkelly. Every retune I do on the main TV and...

  You can do that sort of thing with Android as well. I use Skifta on my Xperia phone to control DLNA streaming from my Mac to the Humax. I can also push content from the phone itself. The big issue with DLNA streaming is whether the client can actually play the content that the server is...
