Hi,
I went for the 500GB 4000T but can see that I'm going to need more storage than that before long. As I see it there are 2 options
1) Replace the internal HDD (and invalidate the warranty)
2) Add a external USB HDD
Since I've only just bought this I'd rather not invalidate the warranty just...
ok, eventually found this https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/how-do-i-find-the-episode-im-currently-watching.6998/ which I think suggests I can't. I thought I also saw a post suggesting someone had found a way to see what they had been recently watching, but I can't find that now - maybe it wasn't...
Hi, Is there a way I can see which recordings I have started watching? I know if there is only 1 recording in a folder once I start watching it the New message disappears, however if there are multiple recordings one of which I've started watching and others not, I can't see how to work out...
On my PC I thought the same, but found that when I added a recording remotely that one had the tick box available to be ticked. However once the next sync had taken place the box became greyed out i.e. you can only delete scheduled recordings before they are synced to the box.
Thanks I have a...
The 4000T contained the end of The Apprentice and Rhod Gilberts intro of the You're Hired started at 3'40"
I notice that the 4000T contained about 14' of the end of Sport Personality while The Apprentice started at 15' into the recording.
I've only just bought the 4000T so am still recording programs on both my Fox and 4000T while I set it up.
Recording The Apprentice You're hired, the 4000T cut out after 55mins (before the end), while the Fox recorded 59mins (after the end). What gives?
The 4000T settings for padding are both...
Hi,
I've just bought one of these primarily for catch-up and it's multiple tuners (getting too many conflicts on HDR Fox-T2), so the first thing I want to do is change the IR code so it doesn't control this and the Fox. Can this be done please?
I seem to recall I can do it on the Fox, but would...
Well, after a couple of days having done the format which didn't format the HDD nor touch the CF, things seem a lot better than they were.
I don't quite understand, but then so long as it is now usable, I guess I'm not too fussed. Fingers crossed it carries on ok.
Thanks for your help guys.

Thanks, so what does

do? (well, aside from nothing!)
The installation wizard wasn't that bad, doesn't take that long, nor does deleting some unwanted channels and setting up my Schedule. I was actually trying to get back to a clean box...
Slightly confused. I went to Installation and selected the box to Format the HDD, it asked me to enter pin (0000 no doubt), which it took, however I still seemed to have old recordings! I tried similar but without the format of the HDD which took me through the install wizard and the old...
Cheers, I started that earlier today, thanks for the confirmation I'm going down the right route. I'm half wondering whether something is e.g. permanently trying to decrypt etc. (not that the web interface suggests anything is going on).
That didn't last long in any case. The EPG response on this box is now 5+ seconds most of the time.
I did check 'her' box (identical with same CF but it gets used a lot less), and the response is almost instant.
I have also noticed that now when I go to windows explorer and look at the file...

Having run a fix-disk, none of the following jumps out at me as being indicative of a problem.

Not yet, I've been out all day and there are recordings scheduled all eve and as best I can recall this takes a while to run. I'll do tomorrow.
Thanks. Jeddy
I don't believe this is specifically a 1.03.xx firmware issue. OK, the EPG was never exactly lightning fast, but it is only over the past few months where it has become almost unsuable. Also, the other Hummy with identical firmware is 'ok', i.e. 1-2 second response as opposed to 5 - 30 second...
Thanks for all the thoughts.
Yes I do have CF so will try fix-disk.
I do periodically clean up old scheduled events - especially when I noticed the EPG going slow and yes it does help, however this slowness has gone way beyond that, I have tried it and only have a few old entries - the web...
