Ping not finding local devices by name
I didn't intend to imply there is. My implication was that perhaps one could be compiled.- Black Hole

Ping not finding local devices by name
It might be a pain, but you could maintain a hosts file and copy it to all your devices as a form of manual DNS. Alternatively, perhaps an always-on device (HDR-FOX?) could run a local DNS server.- Black Hole

Ping not finding local devices by name
This may be a simplistic answer, but as I understand it, in order to address a device by name, there has to be something on your network able to convert the name to an IP address. I think there are a variety of protocols for this, but as you have changed your router, it seems logical to...- Black Hole

Reallocate Sectors - Advice Appreciated
Reallocated sectors are the HDDs normal self-repair mechanism, and should be "transparent" (in other words: handled in the background with no obvious side-effects). Sometimes there is a hitch and the data is unverifiable, and the fault has to be handled with the HDD off-line – Fixdisk can sort...- Black Hole

Web Interface HTTPS Support
It irritates me that browsers do that. I realise it's the "safe" option for naive users, but it's also a pain that a simple informational website (such as the modern version of a brochure), with no sensitivity whatsoever, has to be HTTPSed just to keep a web browser from stopping the user...- Black Hole

Web Interface HTTPS Support
Yes – Firefox is just baulking at the non-trusted key exchange. IMO HTTP wouldn't be particularly unsafe, it's not like you're communicating bank account details anyone could eavesdrop.- Black Hole

No, much worse than that. You didn't read what I referred you to. Excerpt: Oh FFS. Why are you fiddling around in the dark? HDR-FOX Commissioning, Disassembly, Repair (click)- Black Hole

So you are probably buggered then (short of a hardware fix). That was a critical point to have forgotten to say. Steps for Resolving HDR-FOX Crash/Reboot Issues (in particular, see section 3Ba). Exactly when the restart occurs in the boot cycle is diagnostic. For information: under normal...- Black Hole

But it sounds like you didn't read this: Quick Guide to Disk Recovery (click) No, you don't have to do "linux type stuff", just get a command session so you can access a set of menus. You can do that in Windows. Nope, can't be done. No you don't. Wherever you're getting your information...- Black Hole

Taking Humax off the Network
You can just disconnect the LAN, but then you'll not have access to the WebIF either. You might want to stop (uninstall) any CF services which routinely try to "phone home" or monitor network traffic: rs*, auto-update*, tunefix-update*, network-shares-automount, transmission*, ntpclient*...- Black Hole

Humax FVP-5000T Keeps re-booting
Why not just fit it and see what happens? It would be logical, would it not, to assume the machine is capable of formatting it for itself? HDR-FOX certainly is.- Black Hole

"Info Display Time" aka "OSD Timeout" timeout stuck at 30s
I am unable to reproduce that, neither on HD-FOX nor HDR-FOX. If you changed changed channel again after 14s, the info bar would be on-screen for 29s anyway. The OSD remains for the set timeout after the last operation. I am unable to reproduce that, neither on HD-FOX nor HDR-FOX. I have my...- Black Hole

Constant rebooting, every few mins , yet recording seems to work ok
:D So it really was a "system reboot (power cycle)" then! I suspect the log report will always default to "power cycle" if no other reason can be identified, but this time it was not crying wolf1- Black Hole

From standby? If so, then the rebooting must be triggered by something which isn't running while recording-in-standby (half awake). You seem to have found the fix, although I can't explain why sysmon wouldn't be running in half-awake.- Black Hole

"Info Display Time" aka "OSD Timeout" timeout stuck at 30s
My timeout is set to 5s but it takes 30. I don't know how long it's been like it for, but surely that must have been at least as long as the last firmware update? I'm amazed nobody noticed until now.- Black Hole
