  Oh. So I need to revise all my stuff... @Penster: assuming webshell is indeed built in (and assuming you manage to install CF), instead of using a Telnet client you can simply try connecting with your web browser to the IP address for the HDR-FOX as per post 2. If that doesn't work, try a...

  That's not the CF version number, that's the original Humax firmware. Are you sure you have installed Custom Firmware at all?

5. Failed recordings - and more!
  
  I don't dispute that, although they seem to be much more reliable if they are not power-cycled. My point is that MTBF is mean time between failures, not amount of data written.

  You could accept a larger HDD, and pre-format it to be only 1TB (or less). Make sure you format it MBR though.

  Only out by a factor of 1,000! Do they? So far as I know there is no limit on the number of times the magnetic domains can be flipped, so the rest is down to bearings etc.

  "Just is" is fine (for me) for the existence and origin of the Universe, but there is a long stretch between random clustering of atoms into organic compounds and the emergence of heritable characteristics in organisms.
