      In the original thread in the HDR forum... Ah, never thought of that. I thought data transfer between my Linux box (Ethernet over 85MBPS HomePlugs) to my MacBook Pro (wireless n) seemed sloooow. I'll try moving the HP from the surge-protected extension to a wall socket and see if things improve.

      Indeed. WiFi dongles - and other peripheral equipment - needs (should) conform to the CEC spec which is not the same as PCs. As someone else said, PC stuff needs drivers. My Sony TV and Blu-ray for example will only work with Sony WiFi dongles - at £70 each :eek: - which is why I use Cat5e and...

      I've no doubt that new software for something, somewhere is out now - just not for the HD/HDR :(

      Network Streaming Computer Software

      For anyone with an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad there are even DLNA server apps for these. I tried the free iMediaShare on my 3GS and not only did it work with the HDR, but also with my Sony TV :)

      Blank screen then empty recordings

      Strange thing happened last night. Was recording Taggart (scheduled recording) on ITV1 HD and watching Silent Witness on BBC One HD (time-shifted by about 5 mins). Screen went blank then the warning triangle appeared with a message like "Channel has no content or is scrambled". Waited a few...

      Network Streaming Computer Software

      Just set it up and MediaTomb works just fine with the HDR :) One thing though, I've added some photos that are exactly 1920x1080 - so the exact resolution of the screen - but when they are displayed there is a black border around them. I'd guess they are being displayed at about 90% of the...

      Network Streaming Computer Software

      Ooh, thanks for mentioning that. I've got it in my head that the HDR has no networking functionality until the Portal u/g, but of course it's on the LAN. I've just installed MediaTomb on a Ubuntu Linux box but (so far) my Sony TV can't see it. Have to see whether the Hummy can.

      HD volume problems

      FWIW, I set the HDR volume to max and use the TV volume control. That way you only have one thing setting the volume.

      Channels not found - 64 QAM MUXes

      So do I, but AFAIK I can't pick up anything from another transmitter - I'm in BA14 8 postcode. My TV doesn't have duplicates in the 800 range, my 9200 didn't, and my HDR-FoxT2 didn't use to. :confused: Hmm, how do they determine that? If it's from your postcode then take it with a pinch of...

      Channels not found - 64 QAM MUXes

      Thanks for that useful info Simon - I thought it was all over, guess not!! Although I'm sure it found more than 4 on the second pass - guess that as well as the 4 HD channels it re-found some of the SD ones which it put in the 800 range?

      Channels not found - 64 QAM MUXes

      On Mendip we needed 3 re-tunes: When analogue was turned off When BBC One HD came on air When the COM6 mux moved from ch59 to 67 My understanding is that after the first two at least one mux (possibly more than one) would be transmitting at reduced power to prevent interference with...

      Channels not found - 64 QAM MUXes

      One odd thing I noticed when I re-tuned that I hadn't noticed before is that the Hummy scanned all the channels twice. It got to ch69 then started again at 21 and went all the way through to 69. When I tried re-tuning a second time I paid more attention and it founf more channels on the second...

      Wishlist

      Seems to me that Humax should give the whole folder and programme storage thing a dose of looking at. Shouldn't be too difficult as it's probably only database management. Aside from this renaming folders issue, there's the yellow triangle issue I mentioned in an earlier post - which I've since...

      Channels not found - 64 QAM MUXes

      I think there is something screwy on Mendip since the 11th Jan mux changes. When I re-tuned my Sony TV and Hummy, the TV re-tuned correctly, but the Hummy found loads of duplicate channels (BBC1-4 and a few others) which it put in the 800 range. This has never happened before (and the TV didn't...

      Playback Query

      Chances are that if your PVR was a Samsung (if they make them) it would work just fine. Auto-switching HDMI comes under the CEC (Consumer Electronics Communication?) standard but, as with so many standards, each manufacturer implements their own interpretation meaning that only their kit works...

      Playback Query

      Another reason for doing this - 20 seconds at least - is that there is a hard disk inside that takes time to spin down. The advice always used to be let a HDD spin down completely before powering on again. Maybe it no longer applies to modern hard drives but it's something I always do, and it...
