      Very slow EPG

      Hi, can anyone help please? The performance on my EPG has become chronically slow of late. Sometimes I can click up / down / left / right and it may take 15 seconds to respond. Another time it may only be a few seconds. Similarly if I click on record, or move down to select reminder - can take...

      HDD replacement

      What it means is that I don't understand what's going on under the covers! Maybe I should have said was still there. Let's put it this way, I didn't have to do anything and all my scheduled recordings were still present. :) (I confess I'm still in the mindset of a Topfield where the recording...

      HDD replacement

      Well this seems to be working ok. The Hummy is up and working again and the recording schedule was restored. The files from the old drive (in the caddy) are slowly being copied across and seem to be ok (the one or two I've checked). I did however find that my above list was incomplete if you...

      HDD replacement

      and todays figures... Disk realloc sector count is: 267 (was 260) Disk pending sector count is: 3 (was 2) Disk offline sector count is: 3 (was 2) i.e. 265 has become 267 like I say, the drive seems suspect to me.

      HDD replacement

      Ah right, I now see that when I said "I did go into Mtce Mode from Putty and do a Long disk check which found errors it was unable to correct" that this was actually fix-disk (I just accessed it from Mtce Mode and Option 1 , I didn't notice the fix-disk name). From memory this resulted in...

      HDD replacement

      Thanks for the confirmation, that's great. It looks like I have fix-disk installed however I'm not sure how to invoke that, if it's from the diagnostics menu then I'm no longer able to do that because of the previously mentioned problem (unable to acknowledge pending system notifications).

      HDD replacement

      This sounds too simple to be true! If you have Custom Firmware installed make a note of what packages you have installed and any settings. Take out the old HDD Stick in the new HDD Turn it on and let it format - things will now start recording as per current schedule Stick the old drive in a...

      HDD replacement

      Thanks for the confirmation on the first bit, swapping a HDD from a physical perspective doesn't bother me (done it many times). However any suggestions how to keep the recording schedule / settings / already recorded (encrypted) programs please?

      HDD replacement

      Hi, I don't doubt the information is here somewhere, but I'm having trouble finding it. Please could someone point me to instructions to how to replace a HDD with a 1TB drive (hopefully almost identical Seagate drive). I've seen instructions for upgrading to a 2TB which I believe are much more...

      Returning to 1.03.06 factory firmware

      I obviously don't know what's going on inside the box, but I also found it surprising that this happened during the Programming stage - I'd have thought if there was a problem with the file it wouldn't have got that far, I guess it's only when it comes to programming that it validates the...

      Returning to 1.03.06 factory firmware

      A number of items here. I eventually managed to get 1.02.32 installed (even with that a few times it failed with the same E-HC error during the programming stage around 45%, but keep hitting the big button and it eventually went in.) Many thanks for all for your patience and assistance, not...

      Returning to 1.03.06 factory firmware

      Ah, I think I've seen my misunderstanding. Now install a version of official firmware (not 1.03.06) in other words regardless of what version you want at the end install a version other than 1.03.06 - I'd been reading that as do not do this for a 1.03.06 install. Fingers crossed that after...

      Returning to 1.03.06 factory firmware

      Hi, Please can someone assist? I need to return my Hummy to factory 1.03.06 (what it came installed with) for return, after it had CF installed on it. Having looked at http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Remove_Modified_Firmware I clicked on RMA and ok, ok, ok however when I reboot it still shows CF...

      Green flashes during playback

      Thanks for the replies. To answer questions... Both TV and Hummy are new: TV< 2 months; Hummy is a refurb bought a few weeks ago (and immediately installed CF). I'd not noticed any green flashes until the last week or so (can't think of any particular changes in that time frame). Using CF in...

      Green flashes during playback

      Connected via HDMI. Good thoughts. But where does this leave me if it is / isn't still a problem when I switch to Scart? I take it if the problem goes away then try changing the HDMI cable and reseating it at the same time and if it persists the it's a hardware problem,if it doesn't persist...

      Green flashes during playback

      Hi, I keep getting green flashes on my screen while using the Hummy. They are not on the recording (I can rewind a little and play and they won't appear again). They are erratic - e.g. while watching a 3hr film I think it happened about 3 or 4 times. Sometimes it's part of the screen (mostly at...

      Watching recordings over a network.

      Oops, apologies for the freudian slip! I think I should probably have said that I do have CF installed, and also the auto-unprotect package. I have also already turned on the Humax DLNA server (a week or two back). Annoyingly, having uninstalled / reinstalled VLC to upgrade, when I click on...

      Watching recordings over a network.

      Hi, can someone advise me what I'm doing wrong please. I'm trying to watch a Hummy prog on my laptop. I can navigate to the toppy on my network 192.168.1 etc.. , select Browse, Enter a folder, click on a program, click Play, after a brief pause I get a VLC media player opening in the browser...
