      Stream from iPhone to HDR

      Is there any way to stream directly from an iPhone app such as Safari or 4OD to the HDR? I tried Twonky which simply caused the HDR to endlessly reboot. Imediashare works quite well but so far as I can see only streams it's own embedded channels ( little of interest ) or the phones stored files...

      Power Consumption - on all day or not?

      I have found that the stronger ( typically the larger males ) eat the weaker ( females and smaller males ) so the heat output tends to be at the upper end of the range, particularly as the struggle itself generates heat and a requirement for high energy replacement. Also the unconsumed portions...

      TIVO user 6 months on

      I previously had a pvr800t as well as the TiVo. I don't recall it having the same problems, though it was only used for BBC3 and 4 so maybe it wouldn't show. I can't remember if it had the series link option at all - I used the TiVo for that.

      TIVO user 6 months on

      Having switched from a vintage TIVO to the HDR T2 about 6 months ago it now seems fair to make some general observations/comparisons. Some initial responses to the HDR were in hindsight just a normal response to any change after such a long time - eg I found the remote cluttered and prioritising...

      Power Consumption - on all day or not?

      That's easy. Every time I get a cold caller for PPI, loft insulation or what ever I make an appointment for them to call. I then lock them in the cellar from where an ingenious system of ducts provides free warm air heating. Jehovah's Witnesses are good too but best of all is election time when...

      Power Consumption - on all day or not?

      It could - accelerating consumption seems apt with all the new gizmos. Was it Rumsfeld who said " I don't know what I meant but I know that I meant it"?

      Indeed - it's good to be reminded watts watt. Or should that be which?

      Power Consumption - on all day or not?

      I'm a bit late to this one but for what it's worth....... my HDR replaced an original TIVO from about 2001. That didn't have a standby mode, it just ran all the time buffering live TV for 24 hours a day, 365 ( and a bit ) days a year for 11 years or so apart from a brief rest for repairs...

      Advice on software updates

      Hmmm. Very curious - I find all the HD channels louder than SD. Mind you it depends on the programme, some are best with volume set to zero and picture off.

      recording failed lack of signal

      Yes, I've had this occur on BBC HD. Just affected one programme so far on a channel that is usually fine. Quite a lot of pixellation and stutters - several complete stops. Weirdest of all it caused Raymond Blanc to speak in a strange accent which after 30 odd years here can't be right. It does...

      RIP Analogue

      Ah, dear boy. You'll find the capacity reduces with age. I find a pre dinner sherry or two, a bottle of Chablis with the oysters, a Chambertin with the grouse, perhaps an Yquem with the pudding and all I can manage is a glass of port with the cheese if I'm to have a brandy or two with coffee...

      RIP Analogue

      Isn't it curious that the thing that gets highlighted with the end of analogue is the demise of Ceefax? I can just about recall looking at it in the mid 70s and thinking "clever but pointless". I never went back to it. I guess not being interested in sports results and ( at that time ) not being...

      Homeplug interference from digital radio.

      I've heard good things of the Pure too but frankly I'll get the CH interference fixed and stick with FM - the real thing!

      Homeplug interference from digital radio.

      Its a Roberts Unologic radio should you wish to avoid it. Terrible sound, chews batteries, internal charger barely works and now, as you say, a faulty power supply.

      Homeplug interference from digital radio.

      This isn't a specifically HDR issue but as Homeplugs seem to be popular with users here this may be a useful warning. I use Homeplugs for our base network with a number of wireless access points. Yesterday I lost the network connection in one room. The wireless was OK but the network could not...
