     RF Noise from Power Supply - Sourcing and replacing

     Hi, Humax don't have the PSU. The guy I spoke to was unsure if that part is discontinued or not, but certainly not in stock at the moment. Regarding a noise suppressor, could you give a little more detail? Do you mean something on the mains input, or something internal? Thanks, Tony S

     RF Noise from Power Supply - Sourcing and replacing

     Hi, Our HDR Fox T2 has been identified as creating radio interference, of frequency and strength sufficient to interfere with ADSL broadband, the so-called "REIN". The recommendation from Openreach is to either replace the unit, or replace the power supply. The interference continues as...

     HD playback on Nexus 7 2013?

     If you deal with the encryption issue, you can play them direct off the Humax to the Nexus via DLNA with a suitable client. No need to copy the files.

     Hi, A while ago we lost all the HD channels, and as a result the Humax failed to record a couple of programs on the 20th October. I got an email alert next morning, which is great. However it continues to send the same email every morning, still referring back to that failed recording on...

     Users with HDMI Issues

     Is that self powered (or powered off the HDMI feed)? Or is it another mains PSU.

     What is the latest Humax HDR recorder

     Out of interest, what do you recommend at the PC end? I can stream to the Nexus tablet with a uPnP, or to the Mac with VLC player, but the PC version of VLC player doesn't appear to work (just goes into "not responding" when you select Playlist/uPnP).

     Lost all channels on the HD Mux suddenly

     Ours worked fine on 1080p from when we first got the Humax until yesterday when HD stopped working altogether. Now they're back, it is still perfect at 1080p. The funny thing is that we don't get any intermittent issues so no prior warning. I can only assume that the connector on the aerial...

     Lost all channels on the HD Mux suddenly

     Thanks, I didn't realise the bandwidth on HDMI was so high. It's cheap cable, so will sort out something better for that. I agree that aerial alignment may not need to be spot on, but I think our aerial has shifted as I can't remember it being that far out of vertical. It's an easy check.

      Lost all channels on the HD Mux suddenly

      Thanks everyone. Sounds to me like the aerial flying lead is the issue, in particular the connector at the outlet end. I need to rework the aerial cabling in any case, but will have to make some temporary improvement just now. Channels are correct, and according to Wolfbane all three have...

      Lost all channels on the HD Mux suddenly

      Hi, We haven't had HD compatible equipment until a month or so ago when we got the Humax HDR-FOX. We're served from a relay so only have the three Muxes 1 (ch58), 2 (49) and HD (54). All were properly picked up when we first did a channel scan. Yesterday we found we'd suddenly lost all...

      Copying video files onto the Humax

      OK, thanks everyone. BetaFTPD now working, with all the normal ftp command line functions apparently working. (By the way, apparently the inbuilt server wants you to use "dir" instead of "ls" for directory listing). Filezilla Portable also copied onto the home PC and working. Thanks again...

      Copying video files onto the Humax

      Quick one .. does the box need to be rebooted to switch from the built-in ftp server to the CF BetaFTPD?

      Copying video files onto the Humax

      Thanks, I'll do that. I did actually load the custom firmware ftp server (BetaFTPD) but missed the fact that the inbuilt one needs to be switched off. I must admit I'm not sure whether Mac ftp client defaults to active or passive so that could have been the issue (Windows not switching to...

      Copying video files onto the Humax

      Thanks for the tips. I had enabled ftp in my original settings, but checked again just in case. Presumable if it wasn't enabled I wouldn't be able to open the connection in the first place? I think I've found the issue though. I read your blog but I (rashly?) ignored the suggestion to use...

      How to switch on Accurate Recording

      Thanks. We're served by a relay, so only have Muxes 1, 2 and HD in any case. Mind you that's plenty, when we first got Freeview our Group A aerial would only receive 1 and 2 even though we could access the main transmitter back then. Anyway I guess I'll be hanging out in the Customer...
