HB-1000S repairs?
I see the HB-1000S has an external 12V power supply and this would be be the first thing I'd check.- everthewatcher

Been avoiding it all so wasn't aware of this. A bit of research reveals sodium carbonate is sprayed into the flame.- everthewatcher

Alternating Static and Normal!
That's odd as 'static' suggests an analogue TV source - could the display be being switched between an analog TV tuner [and] the HD-Fox?- everthewatcher

New RM-F04 remote: Excellent service from eBay supplier
It's definitely a genuine Humax RM-F04 remote. The 'Replacement for' look-alike ones that don't have the 1-6 modes or control other devices go for a lot less.- everthewatcher

New RM-F04 remote: Excellent service from eBay supplier
Oh I know 'dispatched' doesn't mean anything other than the vendor has marked it as such - I've had items that got marked long after I'd received them. I make a point of commenting on tardy dispatch or dispatch by means other than that stated, which is a lot easier now we have >80 characters in...- everthewatcher

New RM-F04 remote: Excellent service from eBay supplier
But another order, for some socket-head screws, placed just before has only just come up as dispatched - what's the point of offering RM24 delivery when you take two days to dispatch it?- everthewatcher

New RM-F04 remote: Excellent service from eBay supplier
Thought it would be a good idea to get a new RM-F04 remote for the HDR-Fox T2s while they were still available. Went for this one from eBay as it was cheaper than Humax Direct. Ordered just before 3pm yesterday and it arrived early this morning.- everthewatcher

Web-connected TV on HDR-FOX T2?
A dustbin to hold deleted files just in case with a full delete after x days, disk fixing tools, share a drive on another Windows or Linux machine, write to an NTFS drive, decrypt recorded programmes including HD automatically, control the fan speed and its temperature thresholds, control how...- everthewatcher

Life of HDDs
Careful with Sky HD+ HDDs - the 500GB ones are locked to SATA1 speeds. The WD 2GB used in a caddy here came from a Sky box and is fine. Also last time I looked into this the USB-looking dongle firmware is hacked so it isn't recognised by standard operating systems.- everthewatcher

Life of HDDs
There's no argument about keeping the temperature low. The Start/Stop Count is 49,576 and the Load/Unload Cycle Count 49,428 so the motor hasn't been running all the time, although there's no way of knowing what the duty cycle was.- everthewatcher

Life of HDDs
It's always worth having an look at what's been dumped in the recycling area at the local Sainsbury's, which is where this had been left. Last week I passed on an Aldi/Lidl battery-powered lawnmower complete with battery and charger that might have been worth investigating But I did take its...- everthewatcher

Life of HDDs
Found a dumped VM-branded Cisco 8620 cable box with a 500GB HDD that I thought was worth bunging in the boot just for the drive. The HDD is a Western Digital WD500AADS from July 2011, 3042 days powered on, a power cycle count of 173 and no reallocated or pending sectors. WD's long test returns...- everthewatcher
