2. [What Does The Team Think...] About Power Sockets With Built-In USB 5V?
  
  I did something similar a about 18 months ago. Replacing an 'ordinary' switched double-gang socket for a something similar but with two 3.1A USB outlets. It has worked very well, however, recently I have noticed that some of my WiFi [2.4GHz] smart plugs have been loosing their conectivity...

  The engineer might well start at the exchange. That way one can rule out any external line factors. However, my money is on some external issue. It sounds like ‘ring-trip’ which is usually a damp joint/connection. You said that you tested from the main (master) socket. Did you remove the...

4. [rs] Installing and using this package intermittantly caused Read Only File System issue.
  
  One of my units has a 4TB HDD (hybrid MBR/GPT) and has never experienced the issues you seem to have. It also has the [rs] package installed.

  I used to use one, but gave up. It did work, but not for long. The unit just died. As an alternative, I now have an Amazon FireTV Stick attached to the 'non-smart' TV. I use an app to access my HDRs via my network. It works like a charm and as a bonus, I now have a 'smarter' TV!

7. Problems following systems-flush
  
  OK, I realise this thread isn’t for me, but I have now enabled beta packages and have updated nugget to v 0.99. A bit confusing to have one package not in beta, but has a dependency that is.

  Does nugget need to be updated? I have just tried to update the WebIF and it fails stating nugget needs to be at version >= 0.99. I and currently on v 0.98-3. No update for nugget appears to be available.

12. How do I replace internal hard drive
  
  I don't have any experience of the HDDs that you mention. However, one of my HDRs now has a Western Digital 4TB EURX drive fitted. As BH states in the previous post, you will have to use the special custom firmware format facility.

  It most certainly IS the HDMI handshake. My solution is to use an HDMI matrix. I have a two output/six input model. As I have numerious devices that I connect. There are plenty of discusions on the subject. I recommend you use the search facility. HTH

16. HDR-Fox T2 upgrade - expert advice would be appreciated
  
  I wouldn’t regret your WD purchase. I have them in all my HDRs. No troubles with them at all. I have, however, had more than my share of Seagate HHDs fail. Often without prior warning. Personal choice. Some will say they have had issues with WD.

  You have been told wrong, well a little anyway. I can change channels, go straight to a specific channel, or simply say channel up or down. I do also have working with two HDRs both co-located under the TV, remote modes one and two.
