1. Is it possible to spin down HDD or adjust Fan settings?
  
  Hmmm...strange that your drive is silent. I think i've got the same 2tb pipeline HD that you have. Maybe I was just spoiled with a very quiet 500gb drive. I am worried that the new drive seems to make my fox vibrate though. It seemed ok when I fitted both my HDDs in my pc to transfer the files...

2. Is it possible to spin down HDD or adjust Fan settings?
  
  Hello All, A few questions for the pros of hummy.tv Basically my HDR is making too much noise. When I first got my box I never heard the fan spin up but now i hear it around half of the time. Below is what sysmon shows: Is this normal? It looks like the fan is doing its job and...

  Unfortunately I dont think its going to be that simple but I might be wrong. The 9200t does save its files as .TS but I dont think the Fox will play them without modification. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

7. T2 Changing channel by itself
  
  Strange issue this one! But watever it is doesnt seem to be rectified by getting a replacement box! This problem seems extremely rare so the likelihood of two people getting two faulty boxes in a row each is extremely unlikely - unless the issue effects them all! It seems probable that all hdr...

8. Convert MKV audio on the box?
  
  I tried converting an ac-3 file to aac on the box using ffmpeg. Poor little thing struggled - half expected it to start billowing smoke. I didnt even have the patience to let it get to 0.2% before I had to reboot the box. I lost tv picture (still had sound) and the hummy was completely non...

9. Convert MKV audio on the box?
  
  Doesn't work :-) Interesting that just renaming the file makes the file unplayable in windows but the humax just seems to ignore the extention and treat the file as it did before (playing until the sound starts). Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

  I'd also recommend going green! You can actually see the display when the box is in standby! It was a slightly more involved procedure than I thought it would be. As long as you're patient and careful you will be fine though. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
