  Just a thought but, does the new browser work with the IP TV services or would that need to be a full MHEG update?

3. EPG awful
  
  I've not used a Toppy so I can't comment directly on the use of MyStuff but I have had STBs that only offered single channel guides and found it absolutely infuriating. I made a point many years ago if making sure any box I got had a grid-style guide. I think the main reason I prefer it is for...

4. Folders????
  
  Are you sure about that? I noticed about a week ago that all my folders suddenly have little red numbers in the bottom right. I can't seem to find any logic to the numbers though unless it is some sort of count of the number of things that have ever been added to that folder (ignoring...

5. Playback of TS files using Airplayer app
  
  Timeshift (scrubber) works fine on VLC on my laptop via both Windows and Ubuntu, I image there is an iOS version that would work equally well. This is the main reason I use VLC as not having a scrubber would be a complete nightmare - I rarely watch a complete film in one sitting, or even a...

6. Streaming to Android device?
  
  It will be an interlace problem, the SD picture is sent as two fields which need to be combined into a single frame, if you display them in the order they are sent as 50 fields per second you will be able to see horizontal distortion on anything which is moving. I get the same when using VLC to...

7. HDR FOX T2 - does the tuner fall over at low temperatures?
  
  That sounds like classic damp ingress - water got into the downlead and gradually dried up once the source was shut off but there is a good chance that there will be some corrosion too. Keep an eye out for reception issues over the next few months/years, if it gets bad you will need to check...

8. Can the humax do slingbox type things?
  
  I would second what Black Hole says. I did get my Hummy accessible from the internet and was able to view the webif and set up recordings etc but downloading video files was painful (I'm on a fairly slow ADSL connection). In the end I shut down external access as it had no useful purpose (Remote...

9. HDR FOX T2 - does the tuner fall over at low temperatures?
  
  I can't find the references now but there was a big hoo-ha when the Freeview HD certification started because it made additional requirements that were nothing to do with DVB-T2 or video compression standards. One of those things was the need for an IP connection. Perhaps I'm getting confused...

10. HDR FOX T2 - does the tuner fall over at low temperatures?
  
  I think I am right in saying any Freeview HD certified TV or STB has to have DLNA support so that may not be as big an issue as it might at first seem.

  I beg to differ. I got the HDR as a replacement for an ageing SD pvr with extra network capabilities. I try to avoid recording in HD as I don't have an HD set yet, the recordings take up more space and I can't reliably play them over my home network. On the subject of recording to DVD, if you...

  Trust me, that's not the problem. The sound is so loud it wakes everyone in the house even when the dialogue cannot be heard 2 metres away, if I wear headphones I am deafened by the music whilst hardly hearing the dialogue. I don't get the same problem watching on the Laptop which has a far...

  For what it's worth I have noticed a similar problem, though I've been blaming the broadcasters. Sound dynamics (particularly in drama and films) can be terrible (inaudible dialogue, thumping fx and music). My HDR is connected by analogue (scart) to an old Philips analogue TV so I have no other...

  What they said. If you are going to set a fixed IP then you need to make sure your router does not assign the same address to another device. There is usually a way to set an address or a range of addresses that do not get used by the DHCP. On some routers (like my Netgear) you can tell it to...
