      Recording future programme

      A further thought.... If I have set up a series record for a program which has seasons will the link just last for the current season or will it pick up again at the start of the next season? Or does it depend on the whim of the broadcaster?

      Recording future programme

      I didn't realise that the HDR couldn't schedule future recordings not yet on the EPG - I haven't really explored the search facility yet but that's where I would have expected it. My previous PVR ( won't bore you with its name again ) had a thing called a wishlist where you could specify...

      HDR-FOX T2 To Laptop.

      Ah, my mistake. Slightly off topic but doesn't that limit you somewhat? Can the HDR be woken remotely from standby to stream, to set recordings etc? The TiVo I'm more used to didn't really have a standby - it simply shut down its output but kept buffering the current channel and kept any network...

      HDR-FOX T2 To Laptop.

      I've just setup XBMC on my Mac desktop and it seems straightforward enough. It sounds as though you have connected the HDR to the network OK so we can skip that.. You might need to make sure the HDR is switched on and connected - I believe the HDR should stream from standby but mine seems to...

      HDR networking and XBMC

      Correction to my earlier post regarding subtitles - disabling teletext on the main video settings pane does not turn off subtitles. They are on by default and to cancel them you click the speaker icon whilst playing a file then from the pane that pops up you can switch them off for the current...

      HDR networking and XBMC

      Aha! Its not enough to set sharing, you have to turn the Mac's firewall off completely. Not sure I like the idea of that but it does enable the HDR to see the XBMC server on the Mac. Apparently XBMC has had a server built in since Jan 2007 but some parts of the Wiki do not reflect that. I'll...

      HDR networking and XBMC

      Share Libraries is set, and I've just checked my Mac's sharing and firewall settings and can find nothing there to stop the HDR getting access. Selecting Media/Storage/Network results in the HDR searching for a couple of minutes then displaying "No Server Found". I'm wondering if installing...

      HDR networking and XBMC

      Aha - found it. The subtitles menu in XBMC controls font, size, position etc - everything except on or off. That, as said above, is on the Video menu where it's called teletext rather than subtitles. Back to the XBMC as server issue - on the network menu there are a number of settings which...

      HDR networking and XBMC

      They are set to DHCP. In XBMC you can set subtitle font, colour etc but you can't switch off. I assume they are part of the HDR file.

      HDR networking and XBMC

      Thanks for that - I'd seen a lot of references which seemed to suggest that XBMC was a server as well but your link makes it crystal clear. I'll look into Filezilla - though as I say I'm playing around rather than meeting a specific need. However sometimes when you find something is possible you...

      HDR networking and XBMC

      I've been playing around with networking the HDR, so far just to understand what can be done rather than with a clear use in mind. I'm a bit puzzled! The HDR is connected to a Devolo plug by ethernet. My iMac ( OS X 10.4.11 ) is linked via airport and another Devolo at the other end of the...

      Is there a better remote?

      Assuming Tivo switch off I would only need 3 ( TV, HDR, DVD ) so the 200 would sound fine. I like the idea of the USB interface - when setting up the HDR remote I had to go through a dozen or so Samsung TV codes comparing which functions worked and which didn't. I probably haven't got them all...

      Is there a better remote?

      So which one did you get - and did it answer your needs?

      Is there a better remote?

      Not yet. I've decided that as I'm still new to the Hummy it's probably sensible to give it a while, a) to see if I get used to the remote and, b) to give myself chance to find all the tricks and shortcuts I might use. After 11 years using Tivo it's unrealistic to expect something new to feel as...

      Is there a better remote?

      Normally I'd agree but this time I think there is reason to hope. Where is the money to come from? Advertising revenue is scarce and to get the target audience figures broadcasters need to cover FM as well as DAB which is expensive. A number of stations have already stopped altogether or dropped...

      Is there a better remote?

      FM for national channels was due to go in 2015, though this was "proposed" rather than definite. Since the original proposal was made various qualifications have been added such as "subject to the overwhelming majority of listening being via DAB", later defined as >50%! The stats are wildly...

      Confused by series recording

      I'm getting the message that this sort of cock up is unusual, even for C4. Being new to the Freeview way of handling series links you can imagine I was somewhat dismayed with the result. Ok - I won't give up on series link yet!

      Is there a better remote?

      Most of the time radio is for us a background largely speech based thing ( R4 ) and we must have a dozen or so radios all round the house. We tend not to listen to radio much in the room with the TV but when we do it's on separate FM receiver with decent aerial plus separate amp ( valve of...

      Is there a better remote?

      Sorry - I must be some kind of Neanderthal buy when I want to listen to radio I use an old fashioned device called ....... A radio. Like a television but without the annoying pictures.

      Confused by series recording

      No, I definitely didn't accept recommendations - that pop up is quite distinctive. I think I might have the answer. My previous pvr downloads its epg via a daily call and for its series link equivalent it searches its own database. So it will only link things clearly identifiable as episodes...
