1. Sony sound
  
  Make sure that the sound output on the humax is set to stereo not multi channel. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

2. Best/quickest way of transfering recordings to a PC?
  
  Quickest way for me was to remove both drives and fit them in a Linux PC. Drag and dropped 500gb of files in no time at all. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

3. "Recording failed but didn't"
  
  I think its good that the hummy prioritises the earlier recordings - much better to miss the start of a program rather than the end. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

  I just had the same issue but a simple reboot of the box fixed it (box turned off until HDD spun down). Strange. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

5. BT sport
  
  Didn't see that bit but thought it was probably the case. Does seem strange to go to the cost of broadcasting on three DTT channels just to cater a box they seem to be phasing out in favour of Youview. Surely it would be worth their while to make it available for non bt customers? Never mind...

6. BT sport
  
  So i just did a retune and see that the BT sports channels are being broadcast. Any idea if BT will be making these channels available via a top up service or are they only there to cater for those with a BT vision box? Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

11. Thumbnails - any configuration?
  
  I really don't understand why they decided to use the first frame for the thumbnail. I use AR so all my thumbnails just show the channel splashscreen - i don't know what else they thought would happen. It would have made more sense to me if they picked a frame say a minute in.
