It's left on all the time so that we can record stuff that's on when we're out! It's not a "stand-by" we're needing- it's a complete power-off and reboot (power-cycle).
If we don't do it this way, we have to do it by switching off and on using the switch on the back. Just switching to standby...
Well. I've spent an hour today on the phone to Humax tech support- he said I've done all the checks he'd have asked me to do, and I should send it back.
NB - this is a second box, with the same problem, Amazon replaced the first one without a murmur and now this one has gone the same way.
I...
I'd go for the Solwise ones for preference- all HomePlugs use the same chipsets (vary depending on speed) licensed from a US company, so really it's price/interface/build quality that's the key.
There's little you can configure on HomePlug - it's a *transparent* ethernet bridge, so doesn't have...
We get Netflix via our Panasonic Blu-ray player, so it doesn't require massive amounts of processing power- it's just a web-browser, when all's said and done.
Has anyone installed the new software yet? Is the EPG any better? I've been looking at the reviews on Amazon and they're very polarised; most either 5* or 1*!
I've read that the search uses "SMS" style entry rather than the on-screen keyboard of the FOX-T2, which sounds like a retrograde step-...
I've now manually re-tuned, to just the bands I should have. Seems OK at the moment....
Antenna power is off.
Another couple of things I've noticed:
1) the TV Portal has stopped working
I noticed someone else talking about the portal stopping working after a standby, and at first I put it...
I've not done it yet- I need to find a time when the distaff side are not using the telly, and when I've got nothing more important to do. Which looks like being in the small hours. :)
Perhaps I'll get onto it tonight. I'm still more than half convinced it's a dodgy box though- all I need to...
Is there an easy way to tell for sure? According to the DigitalUK site, Moel y parc is a different transmitter entirely. My aerial is pointed to Winter Hill (bearing of 7), as far as I can see, and Moel y parc is on a bearing of 282 from here, or 258 for the Wrexham transmitter. Am I...
Our aerial is pointing more-or-less North, which is consistent with the 7 degree bearing listed for Winter Hill. Despite which, the box seems to default to Sutton Coldfield, which is on a bearing of 138 degrees! The previous box had the same behaviour- does it just glom onto the first one with a...
Checked last night- the channels are still where I left 'em. What happens is that the signal strength seems OK, but the quality cycles varies randomly between 50 and 100%, with a mean period of about 10-12 seconds. Power-cycling the box makes the symptoms go away for another day or so.
Seems...
Sorry- HDR-Fox. 2 weeks old. Channels are fine for a while, then start to skip/pixellate. Power-cycle the box and they're all OK again, for a day or so... typically seems to kick in about 8 or 9 in the evening.
So- if quality is < 100%, it needs a retune? Or perhaps the aerial needs...
Has anyone managed to get the Audio setting working with a Linn amp? I asked Humax and they were completely chocolate teapot.
Other "universal" remotes have worked OK with the Linn, so it's not using anything particularly obscure, but no code listed.
