  I think my box is dying
  
  Actually, Black Hole, that is not quite correct. Quote from the Which Website The problem which you have identified is that my claim would be against the retailer who has gone bust. It is harder to pursue the manufacturer because the contract (of sale) was not with them. The point for...

  I think my box is dying
  
  OK, I spoke to them on their 0844 number. Their opening gambit was that it was out of warranty so they couldn't help. That was after being held in a queue for over 5 minutes. Eventually they then stated that they would repair it as a good will gesture but only if I had the original receipt. They...

  I think my box is dying
  
  Wrong! I didn't buy it online, but in store (from Comet as stated earlier). So, taken away from the store about 3pm on 21st Nov 2010. Email sent to Humax at 00:25 on 21st Nov 2012. It would be a bit harsh to claim that to be outside the 2 year warranty. Even if they claim that to be the case, I...

  I think my box is dying
  
  Thanks brian and HarveyB. I've found the credit card statement - I bought it on 21st Nov 2010. I sent them the email informing them of the fault on 21st Nov 2012. Anyone fancy running a book on whether or not they'll take it back? I bought it from Comet, so no chance of taking it back to the store!

  Black Hole, you wrote about a 2 year warranty if registered the purchase. so who was pretending to be you in the first response to this thread that went "My first preference is a warranty claim - if you work fast you should be OK, I believe Humax offer 2 years. Receipt should not be a problem...

  Agreed prpr. Black Hole, you wrote about a 2 year warranty if registered the purchase. I believe I did, but I can't find a way of checking - no online "my registered products" page unlike most of the other consumer electronics manufacturers. Its absolutely typical. I've got 3 box files full...

  Thanks af123. When I get the " CRASH -Wait message, I don't get it just the once. As I said in the original post, it loops trying to reboot, and failing - ad infinitum. Switching off for 10 minutes or so clears the problem - another sign that possibly it is an overheating problem. I've tried...

  Thanks Black Hole. The odd thing is, the problems all started when I upgraded to custom firmware 1.02.20_mod_1.13. I was well and truly dissed on this forum for suggesting that there might be a connection. It seemed to be a bit better under 1.02.28_mod_2.11, but had got a whole lot worse some...

  I think my box is dying
  
  I've had my Hdr-Fox2 since Dec 2010 and until a year ago it behaved impeccably. Then, following an upgrade to the custom firmware (probably a coincidence) it started occasionaly losing comms on the HDMI output - sometimes on picture, sometimes sound, sometimes both (it is connected to a Samsung...

  losing HDMI output since installing Modified Software
  
  10 processes identified as mediatomb. I've been looking around the filesystem. Only one startup entry in /mod/etc/modservices and nothing in /mod/mediatomb would seem to run multiple instances. Perhaps it multithreads and runs as multiple processes?
