      Couple of problems (internet connection, failed recordings)

      I've had a couple of problems with my HD-R Fox lately. 1. Occasionally there's no internet connection. I can see that the IP address is wrong (it has the self-assigned 169.254... address). Easy enough to cure by rebooting my router, but that's a touch drastic as it shuts off internet...

      Network issues

      DHCP with pre-allocated address keyed to the MAC address. Why is a manual address better?

      Network issues

      I would guess that my problem is with my router, but I still may get some help here. Currently my HDR Fox-T2 is happily streaming a BBC program through the portal, so must be connected to the router and the outside world. But (and this has happened on other occasions, and cleared up later)...

      Portal not working?

      I tried to use the Portal today. All that happened was that the gear wheel went round and then disappeared, no portal window opened. I couldn't access any basic functions until I clciked on Exit, when I got a message "Humax portal has ended", though it never properly started. Is there an issue...

      TV Portal doesn't display

      I came home today from several weeks away to find the same problem. Rebooting the router did not solve it. I guess I'll just have to wait till it clears up. What makes it more annoying is that I have the custom firmware, and had done a remote scheduling of some things I wanted to watch. But...

      Thanks. That seems to have done it.

      Holidays and series scheduling

      Thanks. I do have both Disable-OTA and Disable-DSO. I have just installed rs and signed up. Something odd is happening, though. I don't know if I have omitted a step, if something is odd with my Humax, or what. The remote scheduling web page seems to see my Humax OK. Specifically, the "last...

      Holidays and series scheduling

      I am going on holiday for several weeks, and need to ensure that scheduled series record. I have looked at a relevant thread and understand the problem and the various solutions. However, I am not clear whether disable OTA, which I have set on my customised firmware, is enough to ensure that...

      Can't install disable-ota

      Many thanks for your help, folks. New customised firmware installed and the Portal is working.

      Can't install disable-ota

      Thanks. I didn't think of checking the forums in general because I had the other issue (now solved) and sort of assumed they were related. Given the changes to iPlayer that will come about shortly, is the recommendation to upgrade the software? And does the custom firmware 1.03.12 include the...

      Can't install disable-ota

      In answer to BlackHole's question about the aerial. No, I haven't disconnected it. Are you recommending this? Temporarily, of course, as I wouldn't get TV without the aerial. Humax software is FHTCP 1.02.32

      Can't install disable-ota

      Yes. As I said, the package management of the customised firmware now works fine. However, the TV Portal still fails as described previously

      Can't install disable-ota

      I hadn't seen your post when I made post 16. Just wanted to say that the line you give does show up when I issue the route command now. It didn't previously.

      Can't install disable-ota

      Thanks. That suggestion has worked as far as the customised firmware goes. But the TV Portal still shows an error, "there was an error while launching https://www.humaxtvportal.com" with subsequent failure of most actions from the remote control until I put the machine in standby and back on.

      Can't install disable-ota

      Sorry, I must have been asleep while writing my last post. The Gateway and DNS address are as they should be, 192.168.0.1. I don't know how I managed to type 192.168.0.0, that's what the route command seems to be saying but is NOT what Configure LAN says. To reiterate (in case in trying to be...

      Can't install disable-ota

      The router is at 192.168.0.1. The Humax is at 192.168.0.10. This is an address specified as what the router will always assign to the Humax. Sometimes people call this static (as it never changes), but others insist that static means that the device itself specifies the address. The Configure...

      Can't install disable-ota

      Thanks. I did that. I got the message "network is unreachable" immediately (no hops at all). I note also that the TV Portal failed with message "There was an error while launching ...". There's something weird going on as the Humax reports of the LAN "Network is connected" and my computer...

      Can't install disable-ota

      No, I haven't tried traceroute from the Humax. I don't know how to do that. But given that my computer and the Humax are on the same network, so connecting to the same router, why should there be a difference?

      Can't install disable-ota

      Thanks. I was able to download it. What do I do with the downloaded file? I'm using a Mac, but I expect I can translate info for Windows into that for Mac. I'm still getting that error, and a similar one if I try to update the package list. Possibly my ISP does not like 89.248.55.75 for some...
