      Is there a better remote?

      Thanks for that - at the risk of sounding like a Tivo bore I have to say the Harmony 200 layout is almost identical to the Tivo remote. That could be a good choice. And the price seems reasonable.

      Is there a better remote?

      Can anyone recommend a better remote for the HDR? I'm getting used to the Hummy after years of Tivo use but nothing compares to the Tivo remote. Want I want is one where the buttons used most are bigger and more centrally placed and the rest are out of the way ( or got rid of completely if the...

      New Fox user with a few queries....

      I'm on the .20 version of the firmware. I mentioned above that I would change the reminder used to suppress OTA to use a channel other than Dave and selected from the Favourites epg to see if that would affect the start up channel. And lo - it did! Tried it this morning and up comes BBC2 and...

      New Fox user with a few queries....

      Was that update the 10.02.28 one? I was under the impression that one was best avoided because of the automatic retuning issue and the consequential loss of recording schedules. That was why I set up the reminder.

      Does anyone here have 50Hz TV ?

      I've just ditched my old 100Hz Panasonic ( CRT! ) for a 32" Samsung Led 50Hz model and I can't say I've noticed any increase in motion blur. In all the reviews I read before buying none commented on it being "only 50Hz". Mind you I hate all sport. I've been reading a lot for the last week........

      So many replies! Its good to know there's an active user base. Pressing green gets rid of the red button temporarily but it often comes back after ad breaks etc. And of course you can't press green if auto recording. Some STBs give you the option to disable MHEG functions permanently...

      A sort of dull red - I agree it's dim, I guess I'm touchy about such things. I have to remove all labels from laptops, fridges etc. And don't get me started on the red button!

      New Fox user with a few queries....

      I've just realised why it starts on Dave - I followed the advise to suppress OTA by setting a reminder at 4:20 and picking a channel at random must have hit Dave. I'll change it to something more suitable. As it's just a reminder it hadn't occurred to me it would actually change channel. If I...

      New Fox user with a few queries....

      I'm in the process of weaning myself off an old Tivo onto the HDR-Fox T2 - going quite well so far, though I do miss the simple interface and remote. There are a few little irritations you may be able to help with. Is it possible to set the TV channel showing at start up? At present it...

      I expect there is but it's a bit late in the day to start delving inside the box for the sake of a couple of recordings. The joy of the Tivo was always it's simplicity and reliability - today's PVRs are undoubtedly more capable but I doubt any yet match the Tivo interface. And I can operate the...

      A Tivo user joins up....

      Yes - the Tivo currently takes it's live TV from the Freeview stb via scart so I'm sure that if I swap that for the 8000t output scart it will record. The program labelling will be dubious since the Tivo normally gets this from its own epg data. But I'm only taking about a few programmes so I...

      Thanks for that - I expect there is a way to transfer them to the TiVo

      A Tivo user joins up....

      I'm a long term Tivo user - a few years back I bought a PVR8000T to watch and record Freeview then when analogue died I stuck a cheap Freeview box onto the Tivo to restore twin tuner capability. I've now just replaced 50kg of CRT technology with a 6kg LED screen with only one scart - so for now...
