Because companies such as Talktalk and BT are giving away free boxes on certain packages so if I got a free box I would much rather have it operating as a HDR rather than a YV. £300 for a HDR vs £0 for a YV box!

AFAIK there is only one way which is via the Humax config menus and that's certainly how I configured mine.
Since its pretty simple to do I wouldn't think there would be any point doing it another way and as has been said its not strictly necessary to set up the Humax with a static IP, as long...
lol might be overkill, but then i am not suffering from the above because of it. In any case I have never found DHCP to be overly reliable on some devices, even to the extent that they get assigned a different IP when a static one has been reserved for them in the router. Whether down to routers...
I run CF with a wifi connection, using manual IP setup and have never had this problem. Well i say never because I always manually assign the Humax to 192.168.1.64 (that way I can bookmark the webif to that IP permanently) and have also set it in the router as a static IP so is always...
