Digital Switchover and scheduled recordings
Thankyou. Back home and re-scan done. I didn't realise that a re-scan would remove the scheduled recordings, I just thought they would potentially be unreliable. Sorted now. -

Digital Switchover and scheduled recordings
Hi, I'm sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I looked around and could not see the answer. Today is the 1st of two changes to channel allocations in the London area. When I get home I will rescan / re-tune my HDR-Fox-T2, but I wonder if I need to delete scheduled recordings / series linked... -

.hmt File Transformation on OPT+ Copy
That makes sense, but I'm sure when copying the 'virtual' disk the HMT file is much smaller once on the VD - which I assume is a consequence of the Humax firmware re-writing it during the un-encrypted copy.- Frosty

.hmt File Transformation on OPT+ Copy
I believe I see the decrypted hmt go from around 15K to a few K using the virtual disc method, but stay the same size (but altered) if I decrypt using the web-if, which places the original files in an 'original' folder. I may have this the wrong was round as it's from memory, but I did wonder...- Frosty

AR on a per-recording or per-service basis
Probably BBC HD but I've deleted them now and cannot remember the details. It would have been mid-Jan onwards, during a period I was out of the country. On-line I cannot find any mention of recent repeats, but they were shown in the schedule as I set 'record entire series'. Strange, maybe it was...- Frosty

AR on a per-recording or per-service basis
Now had three AR faulures, one months ago soon after purchase and two recent over the past two weeks - two episodes of 'the swatm' failed to record due to 'failed to track' issues. All other AR recordings have worked perfectly.- Frosty

AR on a per-recording or per-service basis
Horizon, Higgs Boson worked fine for me off Crystal Palace. It does seem more of a region specific issue for the most part rather than the broadcasters got it wrong most of the time. If not the BBC, Ch4, etc, then it's the company doing the playout (Red Bee) or a localised transmitter issue...- Frosty

Sound level issue
All Dolby-E broadcast surround audio should include an ideal listening level in the stream in the form of a dial-norm setting, which is basically an average loudness level not peak level. From this surround amps should take note of that setting and set things to an ideal starting point. It's set...- Frosty

Sound level issue
I've noticed that using VLC for decrypted HD content on the PC, some but not all HD ts streams playback stereo with sound levels that constantly ramp up and down - so annoying. Pan Am, a new Belgium HD programme all do it, but some other HD content doesn't. Not sure if it's a VLC issue as I'm...- Frosty

AR on a per-recording or per-service basis
Thanks for the clarification re. 4GB and DLNA. I now recall that a lot of my 40min HD recordings come in around the 2-3.xGB and I seem to remember Sherlock Holmes being 1h30 or so came in around 6-7GB's.- Frosty

Definitely - using the Humax remote or web page service to access the EPG is awkward compared to the Toppy's EPG (and I do not have any Taps running). Seeing what's coming for the week ahead on a channel, or across channels is much quicker on the Toppy. Those who have not experienced this will...- Frosty
