  Any custom firmware?
  
  One of the things I always liked about my HDR FOX T2 was the customised software from this forum and the ability to treat it as just another linux pc, logging in and making modifications. how open are the FVP models? Are you able to log in to the box? Are the "bright young things" working on...

  Ways to repair or time to replace? - Solved
  
  Hi All, I have had a HDR-FOX T2 for 7 or 8 years now and its always given stirling service. However over the last few months I have started to get issues. Every now and then the machine will stop responding to the remote. The front standby button also does not respond. A physical switch off/on...

  That would certainly give me something far more professional than my early attempts will be but I was reluctant to do that for 2 reasons. Firstly I wouldnt really want to plagiarise someone elses hard work and secondly I think I would learn less that way. I tend to find I learn more by trying to...

  Previously the RS portal was almost perfect for my use. The only hiccup was that I was teaching myself some network setup and configuration and had created a home network which was so secure that the only normal (I'm sure a persistant hacker could find a way) way of accessing my pvr remotely was...

  Hi all, I was thinking of a little pet project involving the EPG as well and found this discussion quite interesting. AF123 could you elaborate a little on the rsvsync please? Will any 3rd party entries in the recording schedule database be over written by the humax when it next attempts to...

  Picture break up and slow remote response problem
  
  Well since the rescan I performed on 19th the box seems to be behaving once more so I guess it was all the changeover shenanigans causing the grief. Thats a relief. Thanks for the help.

  Ah brilliant news. Does it keep all the old backups? Or will the latest overwrite older schedules? I think we got fed up last night and didnt bother putting all the recordings we wanted back in.

  Picture break up and slow remote response problem
  
  Yes, I'm hoping that given a day or 2 to get over the DSO flu things will be back to normal. In the meantime I'm getting fed up of re-entering all the series recording into the box. I understand one of the features of the custom software is an ability to back up all programmed recordings and...

  I think setting up a VPN would answer this use case too as your remote machine would be seen as being on your home network via a secure tunnel. Then just access with your home ip address for the humax (e.g 192.168.x.x).

  Thanks neilleeds. It has just the single feature? I was going to ask if there was any code activating a Wake-On-WLAN ability. However i have just read that the T2 doesnt support Wake-On-LAN either. Oh well. - edit - Good point af123, my SSID is indeed hidden.
