      Strange RS web page

      While setting up next weeks programs the RS Visual web page has suddenly truncated its entries. There should be entries for every day, there was earlier after entering a couple of programs, and then I went to check how they fitted in the matrix, and this is what it shows. The entries on the...

      Audio Cable Mystery

      You mean you cut through the break? Maybe there was a break to avoid earth loops :)

      Does Factory reset wipe the HDD (fixing "Channel Scrambled or Unavailable")

      I suspect your real problem is your aerial lead, affecting signal strength at the recorder, or you have a faulty tuner. Another option may be trees in the signal path from the transmitter to your aerial. Now winter is coming with winds and wetness, you may find any local trees make a good...

      Assume v. Presume

      Reminds me of when I was a small lad, there were traffic police, seperate from the main police force, and they had Triumph motorcycles with a fairing that had TRAFFIC emblazened across the front. One of the local yound lads had a similar Triumph with fairing on which he had emablazoned TERRIFIC.

      CFW Install Failure

      Is this about putting telnet on your PC? Use Putty, it will connect to the Hummy over network using Telnet.

      EPG for some time ahead

      I have got to a point where rather than having the Hummy on all the time I am away, having it in standby seems to reduce the likelihood of a lockup while it is unattended. It does mean that it will only pickup new programming instructions when it wakes up to do a recording, but I've come to the...

      Synchronised crashes

      No, I have seen spikes from the compressor motor in a fridge cause computer problems including lockups. Took a bit of diagnosing as the fridge was on the same power circuit, but was in the room on the other side of the wall. One of my previous existences was as a computer engineer dealing with...

      Synchronised crashes

      Having observed the time on my Humax screen saver against the time on my PC, I wouldn't be surprised to find the Humax times to be +/- 20 seconds from each other, I can see greater than that from one Humax against my PC. On this basis I would suggest that these crashes happened at the same time...

      Where did you get that from? It is one of the things I do want to have a go at, and this sounds like it might be a good learning tool without laying out a lot of money.

      Updating WiFi Drivers

      I wouldn't bother with something that relied on a driver in the Linux OS, I found that a Vonets Wifi Bridge is much more reliable and seems to have more range - at least at my property it seems to contact the router more reliably.

      Clue

      I have the same problem with 'Long Lost Family on ITV1+1. Broadcast Monday night, then repeated the following Sunday Night. I have to keep selecting 'Skip this episode' for the repeat.

      I always thought DAB was a solution looking for a problem.

      SCRIDs

      Umm, no, it was soon after addition of local news to HD, so a month or more ago. Padding is ignored, but the switch point can be quite variable I have found, which is why I have taken to recording the local news on SD, and the national and one show on HD (as the local news was only on SD at...

      SCRIDs

      I'm with EEPhil on this one. With the switch of local news to HD, I figured i would try recording the HD version. Up to now I have been recording the national news on HD, then the local news of SD, then the one Show on HD, all using padding. Tried changing to record the local news with HD, using...

      When I worked at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory a colleague was doing similar things with a laser to cool helium to very cold temperatures. It was part of working towards quantum cryptography capability for satellite communication IIRC.

      Humax HDR-FOX T2 500GB V Humax HDR-FOX T2 1TB

      I found that the Humax wifi setup is less than useful, I ended up using one of these. Never had a problem since, but they have roughly doubled in price since I got mine.
