3 HDR-FOX T2 Boxes Crashing in Unison
I think the problem may be DLNA related (/usr/bin/humaxtv = DLNA?) and I think I've traced the problem to Icecast running on my NAS. I've turned it off (Icecast). I'll leave Content Share turned off on all the boxes and see whether things settle down and then try turning it back on again and...- phit03

3 HDR-FOX T2 Boxes Crashing in Unison
I ran the crashdiag diagnostic and got the resulting output. Lots of it, I guess from previous crashes. How do you decode the timestamp, I assume the highest value (last entry) is the latest dump. They're mostly segmentation faults which to me, means a program trying to access memory that...- phit03

3 HDR-FOX T2 Boxes Crashing in Unison
I've checked the new PC and as far as I can see it's not running a DLNA server. Even if it was, I haven't allowed it to connect to the home network yet as a malware scan found a Trojan Horse on it so I'm probably going to wipe the hard disk and re-install the OS from scratch before doing that.- phit03

3 HDR-FOX T2 Boxes Crashing in Unison
I have the crashdiag package installed on 2 of the boxes. Where should I look for the crash info? There's no extra info in the crash log.

3 HDR-FOX T2 Boxes Crashing in Unison
I have a somewhat perplexing problem with 3 HDRFOX-T2 boxes. Yesterday afternoon at 15:18 BST, three of my HDRFOX-T2 boxes crashed at exactly the same time. We noticed the one that we were watching had crashed and it appears to have rebooted and gone into standby (maybe this is normal behaviour)...- phit03

(post edited to place terminal output in a code window). I've run both the short and long disk checks from the telnet menu and they both say the disk is OK.

Remote Scheduling Potential Conflicts
In reply to Black Hole, I've being doing this for the past year with 100% success. I get a transfer rate on the download of about 5Mbps (fibre in the UK - ADSL2 in Spain) so it's possible to download an evenings viewing overnight. On the security front, this is a last resort so I'll only open...- phit03

Remote Scheduling Potential Conflicts
Yes. The only problem I had was that my BT Homehub 5 didn't seem to like the default port number (65432) used by the IR to IP boxes. The IR to IP boxes allow a port range of 10000 to 65535 (don't know why). When I changed the port numbers to 10000 (UDP 10000 10000 -> local IR to IP box) it...- phit03

As Black Hole mentioned you can do just about everything you need to via the Web-if and RS. The problem I've had in the past when accessing the boxes from abroad is that you've fewer options if a box fails to respond.

Yes, you're right Black Hole, I had read the Wiki in the past and knew about the ethernet interface not being available in standby, but I'd forgotten.

So when I use the remote control to turn off a box and the display goes blank and I use the web-if to access that box via the ethernet interface and the bar at the top says "The System is in Standby", what sort of standby is this?

Thanks for the feedback, my tests bear out what you've said. If I set a zero reminder and the box is in low-power standby, the box wakes up but almost immediately goes back into a low-power standby state.
