      BBC logo on iPlayer HD programmes

      When the UK went widescreen all graphics had to fit in 4:3 protected area so that people watching on old 4:3 teles could see the graphics. Still the same today , hence the graphics on the footie is in the middle of the screen. When HD was first broadcast all this changed, As you got to have a...

      HDR Fox T2 Wireless Dongle

      Reading that someone was trying to tether their phone I thought " I wonder........" so I set my HTC One X in the tethering mode and lo and behold my humax connected to it. No reason why not I suppose. Not really something I'll ever use except my HTC speed is better than my broadband. So if you...

      On the contrary I'm not defensive at all, I just gave the correct answer to a question, you seem to spent a large proportion of your time finding "ah but" problems. I run cf and yes it's good and I occasionally use it but I can exist without it, 28 works well for me and I suspect the majority of...

      Here We Go Again!

      Someone asks a question , I give him the answer then up pops all the oh don't do that, it'll re-tune etc. Like I said if there is a major re-tune we'll all have to do it, all your recording schedules ( mine's horizon and that's it)will be invalid so you'll have to re-enter them anyway, that will...

      Here We Go Again!

      If it's a complete revamp, you'll have to re-tune anyway and all your huge recording schedules will be void. So I really don't see a problem, I've had to do a manual re-tune on my box to get the olympic channels and four seven ( though god knows why I want it) so the box is very selective on...

      But you don't use favourities so once again I give someone the answer they are looking for and all of a sudden we get this beware of random retunes , I've had my machine almost 2 years and it's never had a sudden retune. I don't use scheduled recordings so when someone asks about it I let...

      If there are changes then we'll all need to re-tune also if there are changes your recording schedule will be screwed any way. All I was doing was replying to a question and gave him the answers he was looking for. As you say you don't use favourites but a lot of us do so what's your problem.

      Yes 28 has been fine for me, I have never had a retune. Retuning is not a problem in the north west and yes " I think the 'Preferences >time' option will only affect the wake up channel when setting a Power On Timer" but that what was asked "Is it possible to set the TV channel showing at start...

      ITV4,Film4 etc (ARQB) up the creek!

      if it's anything like my flat, there'll be a little box somewhere containing a splitter and a couple of aerial feeds. It allows you to choose which aerial goes to where . Chances are you are feeding the humax the satellite cable which will probably be ok for the main transmitters

      1.02.28 - Reasons to be Cheerful???

      If the south was anything like the north west was a couple of years ago, channels were swapping around all the time during the switch over hence multiple retunes. . Since the channels moved recording schedule's were rendered useless anyway. What amazes me is how many have massive recording...

      If you press guide , the left hand side ie stations are grey on black, highlighted white went a particular station is selected. A;so the prog info on that screen is also grey on black.

      Doesn't time fly when you're having fun , I bought my 9200 on a whim in a comet not far from Staines, I was working there at the time. It was late sept or Oct , I think. I thought it 03 or 04 but if it's as you say 05 then a rubbish buy only 7 year old and on every day bah :cool:. What i still...

      To be fair the tuning problem is nothing to do with Humax. Pal was a very inefficient transmission medium, hence lots of repeater masts. With digital we could probably lose half these repeaters. The humax tuner is very sensitive hence picks up multiple transmitters, manual tune is the best or a...
