      Boot Up issue

      Not sure why I tried the confusing bit, belt & braces? So, as I added to the the similar post, I have a dead box, but a spare psu & a spare disk. And confidence now in my ability to fiddle about. Thanks for all the help.

      Humax HDR-FOX T2 Boot cycling HDD Issue/Replacement

      That's what I tried and it worked OK. So presumably means its a disk power-up issue of some sort, but unclear where. My guess (I know nothing of electronics) is the motherboard. But doesnt provide a way of reviving the box. But does mean you have a spare disk & psu.

      Boot Up issue

      Tried using the faulty machine's disk in the good machine - OK. Tried the PSU also - OK. Humax HDD check passed. Then tried the good psu in the bad machine - OK. Add the bad disk - OK. Fully working. NB: But didnt secure the psu, and jogged it, and it flashed, presumably touching the case. Left...

      Boot Up issue

      Thanks for the input. Found the Seagate specs of the values and they all seem within bounds (apart from the 2 big numbers, which are hard to interpret). No, never really ever turned it off, unless investigating problems. The long version of smartctl has been running 4 hours now. May just kill...

      Boot Up issue

      Following other hummy advice have connected the extracted disk to my other t2 using a SATA-USB adapter from Amazon for £15 and the other half is now happily watching from it. So will defer psu swapping for a while. NB: I presume I cant disk check it in this USB state.

      Boot Up issue

      OK, have plenty of time to try that at the moment! And thanks for your incredibly prompt, pithy & pertinent responses as usual.

      Boot Up issue

      Re-boots continuously: Start System then Cust FW 3.13. Tried re-installing cust FW, then System flush. No visible evidence it tried. Removed cover & disconnected both disk cables Booted up OK, to Wizard - presumably because it had flushed. 12 hours later re-tuned OK & working as a receiver...

      Can't connect via webif

      Fixweb wasnt on the menu, but it is now. Ran it and now see webif on the browser OK. Complete SUCCESS - many thanks! So became a 6-month supporter

      Can't connect via webif

      That all worked fine (fixdisk rather than fixweb!). Found nothing wrong (see log) - good news. And suddenly the tab that was blank changed to http://192.168.1.9/exit, with the proper header. But still no webif!

      Can't connect via webif

      Thanks for the explanations. You're right - somehow it had reverted to dhcp. I rebooted the router also. I can now ping & telnet to it (over wifi dongle). But not webif - the chrome tab still does get the right icon I think () but is otherwise blank. Was I right to try installing the file...

      Can't connect via webif

      Oops. Ok, tried across home network (not ethernet cable) with plain ipaddress, humaxftp, 000, blank port. Get "Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity". Cant ping it, get timed out. But could get iplayer.

      Can't connect via webif

      I set the ipaddress on the humax to 192.168.1.11, the laptop is .7. When I connected direct with an ethernet cable the ips were 169.254.180.200 & 229. Tried filezilla, failed, see attached log for second case

      Can't connect via webif

      The other day it 'broke'. On power up it showed 'System Start' then 'Cust FW 1.1.13' then nothing. Re-booted several times, no joy. Unplugged everything, carried to another room, this morning tried re-installing the cust FW from usb stick, and magically it now starts OK. Great. But why? And...

      Cannot get to web interface after firmware install

      NB: A change was to move the Humax Powerline to the wall socket instead of on an extension lead

      Cannot get to web interface after firmware install

      IPlayer is working OK. Tried switching to DHCP. ip address now 192.168.1.8. Can ping that. Trying to webif with Chrome browser no longer get 'too long to respond' just a blank tab. But looks like the correct icon appears on the tab (see attached). In Windows Explorer I can see MediaTomb and...

      Cannot get to web interface after firmware install

      I cannot connect via webif, get 'took too long to respond '. Either with Windows 10 laptop or Android phone. I have long ago set the Humax to manual 192.168.1.3. And used to be able to access it with webif. Recently I changed from a wifi aerial plugged in the back to a wired connection via a...

      Beta [Real-time scheduling] schedule without rebooting

      We are quite well organised, and normally manage to set up all recordings we want, days in advance. But sometimes we want to record 3 or even 4 overlapping programmes - well there are 2 of us. We do have a second Humax, but it is at our weekend cottage (lucky us), so rs is the perfect solution.

      Beta [Real-time scheduling] schedule without rebooting

      Just read through the complete "Things Every..". Great resource, very complete, clear and simple. This from a retired IT (albeit traditional programming) professional. So, Ok, it wasnt in standby. My testing involved rs-ing programmes some minutes in the future, and even up to 10 minutes got...
