1. No picture or sound - need to power cycle. Hummy dying?
  
  Hmm, I've just looked and there has been .29 and now .32. Are these release versions or betas? If release, why hasn't it picked up the OTA updates (I leave it in standby over night)?

2. No picture or sound - need to power cycle. Hummy dying?
  
  Fair point, although both my Blu-ray and Apple TV are not having any problems. If I get one of those right-angle HDMI adaptors then I should be able to get at one of the ports on the TV

3. No picture or sound - need to power cycle. Hummy dying?
  
  No, but why would that make any difference? It's been connected up the same way ever since I've had it - when they first came out so, what's that, two years or more? I've never had this happen before. It wouldn't be so easy to try as the TV is wall-mounted and the HDMI ports are nigh on...

4. No picture or sound - need to power cycle. Hummy dying?
  
  For the last week or so I've been getting no picture or sound from my HDR Fox-T2. It still records and changes channel etc. when it's in this state so it hasn't hung/crashed. Powering off/on using the switch at the rear doesn't fix it, only pulling the mains plug for ~60 seconds resets it...

5. Humax gets worse...
  
  1.02.28 I might do, but it shouldn't change the fact that I shouldn't have to. If a bunch of hackers (no offence) can save the Schedule across a re-tune why can't Humax's Software Engineers? What is really making me mad about this is that ITV are currently showing the whole of Wild At Heart...

6. Humax gets worse...
  
  It would appear that it was (Mendip transmitter). Thought it was just because BBC had changed 102 from BBC HD to BBC Two HD Why? This whole digital switchover has been a joke. Turn off analogue - switch on digital - simples. Of course, Humax just compound the whole thing :mad:

  As if it's not bad enough that the Humax trashes your recording schedule when you re-tune, it's now started trashing it before you re-tune. Switched on tonight and got a message that I needed to re-tune - WHY FFS?? - and clicked 'Later' so I could take photos of the Schedule screens, only to...

9. iPhone 4S videos stretched on HDR
  
  I see what you're saying, but in that case surely it would stretch it both vertically and horizontally thus retaining the aspect ratio, i.e. circles would still be round? Perhaps I didn't make it clear that it is stretching vertically only, not horizontally, so circles appear as ovals.

  If I play video shot on my iPhone 4S on my HDR either by putting it on a USB stick, or streaming through Serviio on my Ubuntu box or MacBook Pro, the HDR stretches it vertically even though it is full HD (1920x1080) video. I've found that the Display Format (the WIDE button) affects this. I...
