Two Problems While Trialling CF 1.03.12 on HDR-Fox T2
Problem 1 - PVR freezes then automatically re-starts. As well as interrupting live viewing this causes scheduled recordings in progress to be cut short. This happens even if there is no LAN connection; I've made one available for the purposes of investigating the CF but we have never...- Newcoppiceman

Faulty Preamp PSU Caused Humax Reception Problems on Some Muxes
I'm still finding my way around the CF and hope to discover how diagnostics will help; so far I've examined the various log files. Interestingly, crash.log is still showing 26 instances, yet the PVR only recorded the first 25 minutes of last night's GBBO - presumably because of another...- Newcoppiceman

Faulty Preamp PSU Caused Humax Reception Problems on Some Muxes
Quite so, plus the fact it would be easier to replace the likely duff reservoir cap than to sanitise the temporary setup; also would need a working spare. The unusual splitter design is because I ripped the original inductive one apart trying to remove it from the Antiference PSU (very tight...- Newcoppiceman

No perhaps about it! I still have an old single output Antiference 12V PSU so have deployed this with a splitter to provide the two feeds (temporary arrangement until I fix the original PSU - probably the reservoir electrolytic).

That first suggestion is a good one. Re the second one, not sure how I'd interpret the results given that the signal would have passed through an unpowered preamp.

Some interesting results from readings taken with the new meter this morning between 10:30 and 11:30. Weather in Woking: fine, sunny and clear.

Using UHF 30, unplugging feed to in-service/replacement PVR and connecting to meter: 65.5dBuV; reconnecting to PVR and using short, good quality extender lead to connect PVR to meter: 68.0dBuV. So Humax gain is 2.5dB - about what you'd expect.- Newcoppiceman

Faulty Preamp PSU Caused Humax Reception Problems on Some Muxes
I have a couple of in-line attenuators (6dB and 12dB, together 18dB) but to do the job properly I'd need a calibrated switchable RF attenuator with 2 or 5dB steps (time to head to eBay). The Humax signal strength indication might well be highly non-linear whether it's showing voltage or dBs.- Newcoppiceman
