Any way to verify if the Portal function actually works at all?
Thanks guys ... :) Monty: Well, that's a bummer. Just how up to date does your hardware need to be (talking of freeview receivers in general) in order to receive those? The Humax is the most modern thing I own, pretty much. I thought it was pretty swish given that it can handle DVB-T2. Heck, my...- tahrey

OK, looked through the usual help guides, done a forum search, not turned up anything helpful here. Using the Portal on my Humax is not top priority, but it would be nice to grab the occasional iPlayer programme or something (given that my PC apps for such stopped working a long time ago), look...- tahrey

Record from buffer?
Apologies for the thread necromancy, but I can't think of anywhere more appropriate to ask this: If you've buffered a programme that's either very near to the end or has already finished when you come to save it from the buffer ... is there a way to set the end point (as well as the name it...- tahrey

New Humax 300Mb/s WifI dongle
Wouldn't say no to getting 25-30mb/s transfer rate for bulk copying, vs the 5-10mb/s of present... only problem is that it presumably goes in a USB socket, so your realistic absolute max rate with that connected to any host is about 25mb/s thanks to USB2's humongous overheads (so really it's a...- tahrey

Recording challenge - need a genius (or a 10 yr old)
If you wanted to get really geeky about it, digital TV encoders and injectors are available to buy, which would then present an additional multiplex channel that the Humax could tune (and if you buy a fancy one you could connect multiple cameras to the input and be able to switch between them by...- tahrey

Sadly, yes, this is in the interest of long term storage rather than pure time shifting. The device was not bought and the recordings have not been set up for my own leisure, and I only watch back a relatively small number of the things it records (there are a *few* that I queue up for myself...- tahrey

Couple of weird issues surrounding disable-OTA/DSO and Decrypt-in-place
BTW, bonus tip in return ... even after shrinking etc, there seems to be a lot of spurious data / inefficient coding in the produced files (which might vanish if converted to pure MPG instead of TS, IDK). If like myself you're grabbing stuff for professional archive purposes (off-air recordings...- tahrey

Good or Bad Idea To Install Hybrid HDD?
Well yeah, it starts the actual "PVR" bit within about 5 seconds, maybe 10 on a bad day, so all it would accelerate is that part between a picture appearing on the TV and being able to access the web-IF... by a tiny amount. Like by a max of 15 seconds per boot, but I have a feeling that the...- tahrey

...which one would assume is optimised for such operations, so it's probably unlikely anything less than an SSD (insanely expensive in any kind of task-relevant capacity even now) or a server-class short-stroke 10k rpm (ditto) replacement would create a meaningful difference.

1/ It's running 24/7 because that's how I have to leave it at the moment to make sure things actually record late at night, or it actually finishes shrinking / decrypting / copying / etc - it was a sort of workaround to other issues.

Good or Bad Idea To Install Hybrid HDD?
You're not, though. If it was purely consecutive, single-tasked accesses, then I would of course agree, and even suggest looking into the slightly lower-rpm (5200 and below) eco-mode drives.

Good or Bad Idea To Install Hybrid HDD?
Just an afterthought ... if the concern is having enough speed and, moreover, responsiveness to deal with multiple disc-based tasks at once, your best bet is probably a 7200rpm drive with a low average access latency figure and plenty of RAM cache (64mb or more). You can still get them that run...- tahrey
