5 port or 8 port version?
These look like 100mbit but that isn't a problem, broadband is 38mbits at my parents. And no streaming service has streams much above 25mbits anyway.
I'm aware of those devices, we used them at one of my previous jobs. They would do the job at my parents apart from one problem: there are no spare sockets on the broadband router at the other end of the cable. Routers generally only have 4 ethernet ports, and it's surprisingly easy to fill them.
Wifi has always been a challenge at their house. It was built in 1960 and breeze blocks at the time had a lot of coal fired power station ash in that had high metal content. The internal walls are terrible for blocking wifi. I made things better a year or two ago by finally getting enough cat 6...
That's the sort of suggestion that makes my dad go into mega sulk mode. It's not worth the aggravation.
AI? Online search? You can do it easily from the unit price on your electricity bill.
OK that's evidence the front and rear panel USBs have separate regulators. That's useful to know.
The new TV will have wifi, they all do. But wifi is less reliable than a cable, and as I said I want to try to reduce phone calls from my parents asking for help getting something working. The less...
The front panel USB can do 500mA as well. There's a decent chance I can take 1A from one of the USB sockets provided I don't have anything in the other socket.
I live in Cambridge, my parents in Yorkshire. The less there is at my parents that can go wrong the less likely I am to get phone calls...
I need the ethernet to come up when the HDR Fox T2 comes out of standby twice a day to check for new recordings I have set using RS. The TV almost certainly won't be on at the time.
The point is the ethernet switch would only be powered on when the Humax was turned on. So if watching TV either with Humax or on TV for streaming provided they turn both boxes on everything would work. And while the Humax is in standby, the ethernet switch is off.
Yes it does, as I said I want...
I know it says 0.5A but is there a thermal cutout or anything? I want to run a USB powered ethernet switch and they need 0.7 to 1.5A depending on model. I can't mains power the switch as my dad refuses to have another thing powered all the time costing him money. He'd rather do without streaming...
There is now a package that will update the custom firmware. Personally I'd rather have the safety of using a USB stick. It's not as if it has to be done often these days.
The Vacuum Fluorescent Display gets very dim with use, eventually becoming almost unreadable. In very dark conditions you...
I use the desktop version of webif on my iPad Pro 2022 and it is mostly fine. It does ask for my username and password annoyingly often as I'm moving between pages.
I thought that sort of thing would be the case.
That's not the compromise I would have chosen myself, but I understand why you went for it.
Still, this is a massive improvement on the near unusable slow mo feature the humax comes with by default. I never installed previous transportx packages...
I had a play with transportx 0.5 at the weekend and it is absolutely brilliant. Finally a slow motion and pause scheme that works intuitively and lets me find anything I want.
Suggestions for improvement:
Pause then slow reverse or ffwd don't show any speeds on screen, whereas when I get fast...
