  I would think that the Humax HDD is not being used for the live buffer so can be accessed for the copy/stream continuously. Allowing the process to run much faster.

  People on here have previously reported that the best place to get them is from Humax themselves. I would phone them. 0344 318 8800. No, I have no problems with interference from mine. Power supplies can go faulty and cause this problem So a replacement would hopefully cure yours. There have...

3. VLC Player plugin and "Play" option in Webif
  
  You can set Firefox to open it in a new VLC player session. I don't use IE but would think it should be possible with that too.

5. odd sound
  
  Yes, I have just tried. With the Humax connected via HDMI to a Samsung TV, Humax audio muted and the volume set to maximum on the TV all I get is silence, as expected.

8. Accurate Recording: Downton Abbey & Lewis
  
  I do not record very many ITV 1 programmes but did set Downton Abbey for the last 3 weeks. After having AR cut off the ends of the first 2 recordings, with the need to watch the ends using ITV player/catch up, I set the most recent episode as a padded recording with 2 minutes before and 10...
