Thanks prpr - I have just tried that and both tuners are showing the same results I reported above (ie 50-70% strength and 100% quality) so presumably that means both tuners are working. Can you think of anything else might be causing this problem ?
Yes - not exactly the same times on two channels, but I often overlap two recordings as I said above and before they always recorded fine, but now, the 2nd won't start till the first has finished - implying only one tuner is operational.
Yes, when there is any overlap, the second recording doesn't start till the first one has finished. On looking back, I find this has been going on for a couple of weeks or more ! But I can't find any reference to how to check if one tuner is down.
Hi there - I have been having a problem on my HDR-Fox T2 which I wonder maybe is a failing tuner and not an aerial problem as above - I'm on Mendip Transmitter and all 6 main channels are recording signal strengths of 55% to 72% and Quality solidly 100% - ch 58 with Film 4+1 HD is only being...
Yes - I have gigabit network router and switches as well as a NAS, and my wife and I both have Surface Pro's which have gigabit network capability, so I was hoping to ramp up the transfer speed copying stuff off the HDR's, one of which incidentally is becoming quite erratic (I posted about this...
Hi BH - I have just acquired a Realtek 8812BU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB NIC for use on my ASUS All-in-One PC which only has a 100 Mbps Ethernet adapter in it, and out of interest I tried it on the HDR-FOX T2 and as expected it was not recognised. It comes with Linux drivers and I've been...
Sorry to pick up quite an old thread, but I can't find any newer ones on this subject and thought it actually applied here. I have recently put a QNAP NAS (which is Gigabit fast) on my system and also upgraded my modem/router to a TP Link Archer D7 gigabit with gigabit switches in the two rooms...
Yes - I saw that in a recent post and thought I should try it ! As a footnote, I have an old HDR in the loft which died after a lightning strike and house fire in 2014 ! It doesn't fire up - there's definite melting of certain components visible inside it - but it may be that the front panel...
Hi - thanks for those comments, even though they are a bit worrying ! The unit is normally on 24/7 these days and the problem seems to occur occasionally when rebooting after scheduling new programmes using the WebIF. I now always check both the Schedule and the EPG after the reboot to see...
I've been getting an increase in crashes lately on both boxes I have - also one in particular keeps reverting its clock to Jan 1971 which means scheduled recordings don't happen - I've started logging occurrences but sometimes I just smile and carry on, since I've read with some alarm that these...
Hi All - I've been watching this thread with interest since we spend several months each year in Greece, and at the moment I just copy off programmes which we potentially might like to watch when - on those rare occasions - the weather is too inclement to venture to the Kafenions or we've had...
Just to add some info (not as technical I'm afraid as some of you experts!) - I recorded 2 programmes from Drama on Saturday, and I have the Auto-Decrypt Flag OFF in the main Video Folder at the moment owing to this problem, so I went to decrypt them manually, but DECRYPT was greyed out on the...
Please note it affected programmes from MY5 and ITV3 also for me (see above) and as Peterworks points out, these are all on COM4 MUX - Can this be relevant ?
Hi - I have also been getting this problem with Drama, My5 and ITV3 programmes - only since the last few days - apart from the Freeview Retune, are there any Hummy packages which have recently been updated ?
Additionally, after reading the above again, I manually decrypted the My5 recording of...
