      recording failed - can't track signal.

      I sort of know the answer to this one but help me understand. A couple of recordings failed on ITV3. I know I have to do a manual retune because I receive stations from two transmitters - I will get round to it, I promise. But the ITV3 station I use is in the normal range and has by far the...

      Series links disappear

      This is always a contentious point, the counter claim that leaving the drive running at all times reduces wear is just as strongly defended. I don't know if there is a definitive answer, and maybe it's different for current drives. What I can say is that my TiVo had been running non stop ( bar a...

      Could it just be that your adaptors don't have a sleep mode so the issue doesn't arise?

      Yes, the switch cured the problem immediately. I think what was happening was that on startup the HDR did not wait long enough for the Devolos to come out of standby before deciding the network was not connected. If you go through the system menu you can see that it tries to connect for a longer...

      Probably a silly question......

      So it's just another bit of screen clutter to get annoyed about - along with intrusive channel logos ( I know its channel 4 - I just switched to it! ), flashes for the next programme whilst I'm still watching the current one, (dis)continuity announcers wittering on whilst the credits are shrunk...

      Probably a silly question......

      That sounds like it - A little black and white striped box. I'll check this evening. You mean it's been there all along and it's not a hummy thing? I really don't recall seeing it before which must mean my old TV had been chopping a bit off the top of the picture for the last umpteen years. I...

      Probably a silly question......

      ...... and no doubt I'll be embarrassed when its answered. What does the stripy box on the top right corner of the screen signify? It occasionally appears for a while then goes. I can't relate it to anything I've done or that the HDR seems to be doing. Its obviously a hummy thing since this site...

      Early days but the switch seems to do the trick. Connecting it immediately woke the Devolo - leaving it for an hour with no other network activity did not activate sleep. Had a slight hiccup when switching on the HDR to find "network disconnected" but apparently it works better if you remember...

      Networking with Devolo avmini

      I've just watched the Devolo during HDR startup. Contrary to what I previously thought the HDR does actually wake it - according to the indicator lights the Devolo is back on line at about the same time the HDR completes startup and displays the TV picture. I can only assume therefore that the...

      Just rebooted ( via WebiF ) and Humax now visible on Mac so maybe Samba package a bit flaky? Anyway, copied a few pictures and some music and will see how it plays later.

      Spoke too soon - just fired up the HDR to check and can no longer see in Finder! WbiF is fine so network connection is OK. Now what exactly did I do yesterday?.......

      I'm using OSX 10.4.11. I've installed XBMC and that will happily see the Humax, browse files and replay content. I've also just installed the custom firmware and several packages including the Samba one - I can now see the Humax and browse files in Finder. Can't actually play them as there is...

      Recording failed - no signal

      No, I'm in the South West and my main transmitter is Ridge Hill, though I also get Stroud. We fully switched over some time ago so no retune scheduled. In my case the program wasn't recorded, it appears it was due to an extreme overrun but unless anyone knows where to find historic data for...

      Networking with Devolo avmini

      My router is always on - its the adapters which sleep. However the adaptor into which my router is plugged never sleeps which makes me wonder whether connecting the HDR to the adaptor via an ethernet switch would help. Ie would the Devolo regard the switch as an active network device and...

      Recording failed - no signal

      I think it was paralympics - I didn't count the legs. People in shorts running around a lot. I had thought a benefit of Freeview+ was that late changes/overunning programmes would be signalled so the PVR could adjust. But presumably that depends on the broadcaster sending the right signals. My...

      I've just installed the custom firmware and a couple of packages including Remote Scheduling. I must say that although a little daunting to read about, the actual instal process is very smooth and the interface itself is excellent. I did wonder about the bit in the RS Wiki that reads "Go to the...

      Recording failed - no signal

      On Friday night I set Gardeners World and Parades End to record ( both on BBC2 HD on ch 54 ). When I came to watch GW a message flashed up saying recording failed - no signal. At first I assumed some sort of transmission failure but instead of the blank screen I would have expected I was asked...

      Aha - that sounds better. I was looking at the Remote Schedule link in your first reply to Bob and didn't spot your second link. Might also solve the issue with seasons. Thanks.
