thanks for this - i have the original box still and the serial & mac number - but in advanced settings in webif settings - don't see where to input the code? am I being blind? it shows the following:
Show development and advanced packages?
NO
Real-time scheduling?
NO
Rotate logs when they...
update 2:
I just experimented and manually 'decrypted' a file using Opt+ on webif.
it doesn't play, instead it says 'The channel is scrambled or not available'
hi everyone, here's an update.
so the 2nd hand Humax seems to be working well. Today I had some time so installed custom firmware on to it and have removed the old 500gb HDD.
I have installed the 1TB HDD full of my old recordings.
I think I have a decryption problem:
1. most of my recordings...
thanks for this - however, I bought a new 2tb HDD, put it into the humax - it reformatted it fine and I then scheduled a few recording. It didn't do any as it had crashed again the next time I looked (say 60 mins later).
I have subsequently bought a 2nd hand new Humax as consensus seemed to...
thanks both
will stick with the HDR fox T2 then - and just wait for one to come up!
any thoughts on my one - is it definitely dead (it's a challenge now!)?
hi everyone, just an update on this.
I finally got a new HDD - one that actually works. I plugged it into the Humax and immediately it gave me the option to reformat.
I duly did so and great it worked...
but only for a limited amount of time. It's now crashed again and showing the green screen...
thanks Black Hole - yes found that option - although the option is greyed out since it can't be read by the Humax. I logged into telnet and it said disk was unmounted. I did wonder if I'd inadvertently gone back to an old firmware which was making a difference - but I think from what I've read...
thanks DF - I tried to run seagate tools from my laptop - didn't work. Tried to run disk check - it saw a (very small - 4 gb) partition but kept coming up with an I/O error when I tried to format/initialise the disk I am thinking it is a HDD error by process of elimination that nothing can seem...
update!
i unplugged the new HDD and put in the old one - could still access some of the files - am now wondering if the problem has been the HDMI all along!?
anyway, I have plugged the new HDD into my laptop via the SATA and nothing happened - however, I have just noticed that while I ordered...
ok an update to this problem - not looking good ;-(
the new drive arrived today and so I installed it.
The humax turned on for a few seconds, and then the screen went green and nothing happened.
I had a hunch that this may be the HDMI input/output and so I plugged in the scart cable. TV signal...
don't worry about answering this one - installed both, started to transfer files and the humax froze again - think I'm going to have to wipe the disk (reformat) - have ordered a new 2tb one anyway.
thanks again for your help - will try and uses filezilla to restore the old files
sorry, wasn't clear.
I meant that it was surprising to me that when i took the Hdd drive out of the humax and connected it directly to my laptop - a bunch of recordings were missing.
I could see the recordings under 'media' when I reconnected the drive back to the Humax.
I haven't tried to run...
hi everyone, so thought I'd post an update in case it helps any others in a similar situation.
I downloaded the seagate bootable from USB and ran the 'fix disk' programme. It ran overnight and I then copied the files across on to my external drive.
I have put the HDD back into the Humax and it...
thanks - I'm planning to use the seagate bootable USB and see if that works.
In the meantime I ran some diagnostic tool on the drive - it came up with lots of errors... I wanted to post here - but the results seem to have disappeared
yes, you're right - space constraints...
hi Martin
i've tried the seagate for windows tool
but it's not showing up the humax drive - (it's finding my SSD laptop drive)- and the linux reader is finding it - any thoughts? I'd really like to try and run diagnostic tools on the drive if possible - hence keen to try and run diagnostic...
thanks both very much! that's great help - will try Martin's suggestion of the seagate first and then will re-format using the humax itself.
do you have any thoughts on the files which didn't come across as a 'set'? can we assume that they are corrupted?
When I transfer the backed up files on...
