OK, then why are all the other similar examples Imperial on the left with the equivalent in metric on the right? When did "ton" become the accepted spelling of "tonne"? When did the US start working in metric?? I think a stupid, under-pressure copy editor didn't realise / understand there is...- Black Hole

We might call it a short ton, but do the Americans? I can well believe we would have 2,000 lb as a short ton independent of the US definition.- Black Hole

Foxsat HDR - no sound from radio channels on 19.2
Really? I have no basis to disagree, just a bit surprised that it can transcode in real time (admittedly in hardware) without introducing significant latency. Pragmatically, why wouldn't they just pass it through and let the TV deal with it?- Black Hole

Well, 12,304 kg ≈︎ 27,126 lb, 1 ton = 20 cwt = 160 st = 2,240 lb, ∴︎ 12,304 kg = 12.11 tons. It would be inconsistent to use tonnes in that table, because every other example gives Imperial. Therefore it's their conversion which is incorrect. Given that the figures probably came from the...- Black Hole

Crash - Wait Reboot in 10..9..8. in a repeat cycle
This is not uncommon when tuned to some of the minor channels. It only seems to happen on some programmes as well – another time, another programme on the same channel will be fine. They must be doing something "novel" with the data that the HDR-FOX was not programmed to expect.- Black Hole

That's what they intend, I'm sure, but what's wrong with saying so? Less dramatic, that's what (and perhaps so ingrained they don't understand the difference).- Black Hole

Yes, well it's pandering to the illiterate (as usual). If I had my way all such examples would be had up for misrepresentation, eg "three times cheaper than".- Black Hole

I think Starship might have 36 nozzles/engines, so it could be meant to read "Starship's 36 rockets" (although I would quibble whether each individual engine is a rocket).- Black Hole

Foxsat HDR - no sound from radio channels on 19.2
That's an idea, the HDR-FOX user settings provide PCM or undecoded audio over HDMI or optical – I don't know whether Foxsat does.- Black Hole

Network error? Describe your home network – specifically the link between your PC and the HDR-FOX. I presume you didn't have this problem before. 101 vs. Red Button has nothing to do with it, the box doesn't work in Maintenance Mode anyway.- Black Hole

That's because there are orphaned .htm files still present. They should be listed in the WebIF file browser, or on the command line directory listiings.- Black Hole

De-duplicate music library
It's easy to "Remove" those albums from the scanned list, before you apply filtering ("remove" takes an entry out of the list, "delete" deletes the actual thing). And then you can rename the fines consistently, all within MP3Tag. I can't cay I find Harry Ramsden's very attractive, but if needs...- Black Hole

You do. You've done it before. PuTTY is a utility which provides communication using the Telnet protocol. Or use webshell. Is that display from your web browser? If so, you are in a Telnet session in webshell. The session has been terminated due to the HDR-FOX rebooting. You need to close...- Black Hole

De-duplicate music library
So, what have you done - ripped them twice with different file naming criteria? Can't you separate them based on file creation date? First, I suggest you re-scan the library but starting at the root directory and with the "subdirectories" option ticked so you list the whole lot (over multiple...- Black Hole
