1. Should I buy another T2 to replace my T2?
  
  Just had a thought....... How difficult would it be to move 500GB of recordings from an unmodified T2 to a 2000T? Just thinking I could do everything the other way round - buy the wife a 2000T, and pinch the T2 for me ;) But she'd need the huge stash of recordings on there - between 300-400GB...

  This comes under the "for various reasons" in the original post, and when I buy myself a new box, I'll be able to do what I like with it ;) Just because it is safe, better, and a jolly good idea, doesn't mean that any change to the current "but it works fine now" will be approved by the...

  ** Thanks for moving the thread to the right place ** I don't currently use the CF, though I expect would if I got a new one. Main uses are; Streaming FROM T2 to PC/phone to watch recorded programs - this may change to streaming TO T2 to watch PC stuff on TV. Either way streaming is vital...

6. Should I buy another T2 to replace my T2?
  
  Well I've had years of excellent use out of my T2 and have no issues. However, for various reasons, I have to replace it. So guys, the question is; Should I get another (presumably second hand) T2? If so how much do they sensibly go for, and where is best to get them? (ie to not get ripped...

  Also discovered just now that mine had retuned. Annoyed I didn't see it coming as I've lost all schedule etc, but more annoyingly, it screwed up the channels as it find weaker channels first and put the ones that are actually watchable in thew 1000+ numbers (yep it fills 800 with bad reception...

9. Is it just me or is VLC no longer working with the hummy
  
  Well 2.1.0 crashes like all the following versions, and it looks like that is when the playlist was rewritten - at list it looks different! ;) At least I now know which works. Though I'll be taking a long look at the list of security fixes in the newer versions.

  I've used VLC to stream from my HDR-FOX T2 from the days when I had to use another program to browse, and cut n paste the link across. It worked lovely when VLC added direct uPnP browsing of the box. However a while back i went to watch a program, an update available message popped up, which...

  On Linux I use VLC - works great On Windows I use UPnP Inspector to get the program URI, the copy n paste into vlc Windows vlc works great once you have the URI to point it to the program. Still baffled as to why the Linux version can browse the Hummy but the Windows version can't.

18. Which output mode to use?
  
  Interesting. So if I set the Hummy to 1080p it is converting the signal before sending it to the TV. Whereas if it is et to 1080i it is sending it straight through and the TV may or may not be changing it to 1080p. I think I need to check what the TV does with 1080i signals.
