      Network Problem, Probably HomePlug

      That was certainly the case with my Devolo minis - connecting them to the Humax via a a cheap switch totally fixed the problem, by keeping them on all the time. There is no option to cancel the energy saver mode ( yours may be different ) but in any case the saving is minimal. Since then 100%...

      Why [S] to denote repeat ?

      What is a repeat anyway? When a new programme is just an old programme repeated with a 5 minute 'revisited' bit who's to say. Yes Kevin McCloud - I'm talking about you!

      You Tube / Netflix / Lovefilm

      Apple TV in conjunction with an HDR T2 will give some of what is wanted. The Apple TV has You Tube and Netflix built in and if you use a iPhone you can stream from it to to the Apple TV using Airplay. This works with ITV Player but not 4OD, which explicitly blocks mirroring to other devices. I...

      Network Problem, Probably HomePlug

      I could but it's quite a long way, the building is listed, the walls are 2 -3 ft thick........ Even the slowest part of the network is comfortably faster than my broadband so why bother? I have heard stories of similar cross circuit connections operating much slower ( 1mbs or less ) but its not...

      Network Problem, Probably HomePlug

      Interesting article. I've just checked the reported speed of my Devolos - they are all the mini model nominally rated at 200 mbs. The 2 on my main circuit report around 160 to 180 mbs talking to each other. The one in the wing where I am writing this comes in around 20 mbs talking to either of...

      Network Problem, Probably HomePlug

      Oh - the other thing I forgot is mains interference. I had a dodgy charger plug which put so much crap back into the mains that it knocked out the network on the one distribution box ( though not the main one ).

      Network Problem, Probably HomePlug

      I can recommend the Devolos - I have 3 plus 3 Airport access points, because my house layout restricts wireless coverage. One of them is in a wing served by a separate distribution box and although this greatly reduces speed its still fine for web browsing etc. The one serving the HDR is on the...

      Network Problem, Probably HomePlug

      Are you saying the HDR had no network access at all or just that it couldn't see the HD? You used iPlayer from the HD - is the HD connected directly to the router or via Homeplug? ( just trying to visualise your setup ). Don't suppose you have or can borrow a third plug so you can check out...

      HDR FOX T2 - does the tuner fall over at low temperatures?

      Does it seem to be related just to temperature or perhaps also to humidity? ie might you have a bit of a condensation problem? This could be aggravated by positioning the box in a cold spot such as on/near a hard floor, window or outside wall. Have you scrolled through a recorded programme to...

      You tube videos in wrong format

      I should have been clearer - by intermittent I also meant some that had not played first time did play subsequently. But as I said, my memory may be dodgy. I've since put in an Apple TV which includes YouTube. So far seems much more reliable than the Hummy version and if you use the iPhone...

      You tube videos in wrong format

      I too have had this problem but I think it may be intermittent - ie I suspect I have successfully played a video and then found on a subsequent occasion that it came up with the format error. Does this sound familiar/feasible? I can't be absolutely sure because it's usually late at night ( so...

      Conundrum.

      I think we're in urban myth territory.

      BBC iPlayer messed up

      I checked iPlayer on my phone - it was fine so I'm guessing it was the mapping on to the portal version that was temporarily adrift. I've never noticed anything like it before. Perhaps something to do with the portal revamp.

      BBC iPlayer messed up

      I forgot to record University Challenge last night - never mind I thought, it'll be on iPlayer. Opened TV portal ( now with added ugly ) and selected iPlayer. Chose BBC2 and the date - funny, those don't look like BBC2 programmes. Indeed not, they were Cbeebies. Thinking I might have miss-keyed...

      How to remove Orange filter?

      It's the curse of oversensitive peripheral vision. Just imagine what it's like at this time of year when the world goes bling crazy.

      How to remove Orange filter?

      I always find it fascinating that some people find the display too dim - for me it's too bright ( ie its visible ). Fortunately that's easier too fix - a bit of black tape does it, warranty intact.

      Stream from iPhone to HDR

      Chris - whilst looking into AirPlay I found a posting of yours suggesting that maybe someone could port air server to the HDR. Was this just wishful thinking or would it actually be feasible? I've tried streaming from the iPhone to a MacBook with Airserver installed and it works well. Could be...

      Stream from iPhone to HDR

      The impression I get is that only Sky Go expressly blocks Airplay mirroring and as I won't touch Sky that's not a problem. In theory apps which don't have a built in airplay button should be airplayable by double tap home double swipe left to right. In theory....... I do use the TV Portal...

      Stream from iPhone to HDR

      After poking around a bit it looks as though Apple TV might be an option, though inevitably not the cheapest. Airplay mirroring seems to mean that whatever you can display on the phone can be mirrored on the TV, which is the sort of independence I had in mind. It's disappointing that the TV...

      Stream from iPhone to HDR

      That's right - were you just checking or suggesting I'm asking the impossible? Imediashare presumably does that, or something very similar, only its tied to a set of mostly German channels. Something more open would be good.
