      Failing tuner?

      Over the weekend, I noticed that there were very occasional (but bad) dropouts on BBC NEWS HD using my TV tuner, so the problem isn't entirely restricted to the Humax. I think I'll speak to the property managers and see if they can get the aerial looked at again. It would help if I go in armed...

      Thanks. I'll pop into screwfix tomorrow and see what they have.

      Failing tuner?

      Ah, I put WF100 RF Cable and it came up with lots of cheap looking cables, but no actual mention of "WF100" in the listing! That one looks like it has cable rather than aerial connectors. Would rather get a made up lead than make my own, not that handy with wire strippers etc! I only need 2...

      Failing tuner?

      Well, one of them is black, but yes, the sort you normally get in the box when you buy a new TV/PVR I've been looking on Amazon, but I can't find references to this cable in any of the descriptions. Can you send me a link to something suitable on Amazon, pref with Prime next day delivery (I'm a...

      Failing tuner?

      The T2 is already plugged directly into the aerial socket. The TV connects to the aerial via the T2 (and works ok). Is that what you mean by "fed through the T2"? I'll try separating the HDMI and RF cables when I'm at home later.

      Failing tuner?

      I've tried a different RF lead, no difference, no admittedly this and the existing lead are both cheap ones. Is it worth trying a better quality one? Leaky HDMI leads. Ok, sorry for the drip feed again, I didn't think was at all relevant, but I have experienced occasional crashes of the...

      Failing tuner?

      Thanks prpr I'm still confused as to how I can get good reception on the COM 7 channels if I am recording another channel? Is the hummy known to have weaker tuners? I just read the Frequency Change article again and this sentence jumped out: "It has reduced coverage and is only available on...

      Failing tuner?

      Thanks prpr. Not exactly sure what I'm looking for, but noticed this: Both tuners have Strength around 51% and Quality a solid 100% on all Transponders apart from 7460000Khz & 754000Khz, which report Strength 55-60% (higher) and Quality fluctuating wildly between 20% and 100%.

      Yes, that would be my prognosis, but someone more experienced might like to confirm this.

      Have you tried recording two channels at the same time?

      Failing tuner?

      Sorry, though going into all that detail would just confuse matters. It doesn't change the basic fact that everyone else who lives here is happy with their freeview reception, and if I was just watching live TV through the TV's tuners (do people still do that?) so would I!

      Failing tuner?

      @Lefteris: I'm not an expert on this, but it sounds like its trying to do everything with one tuner. Have you tried recording 2 channels from different muxes at the same time? It would only be possible to do this if both tuners are working. This is why I still think this is a tuner issue on my...

      Failing tuner?

      Thanks Trev Unfortunately, I live in a block of flats with a communal aerial. The whole block had problems, probably due to frequency shift mentioned above, a few months ago and they sent someone to repair it. I doubt they'd come out again if its only me complaining, I've spoken to a few...

      Sounds like that's it! I clicked on the link and read the rest of the info on Ridge Hill, but not sure what to conclude from this? Is it an aerial problem?

      Black hole, your message came in while I was writing the above reply. So I need figures for all channels? 21-29 & 55, 56? I'll have a read of the Disk Recovery article. Wouldn't a change in the broadcast system affect my TV tuner as well. It seems fine on the channels the Hummy is having...

      Failing tuner?

      Over the last few months I’ve been having increasing problems with picture quality on my HDR-T2 (custom firmware). It was first noticeable on the higher HD channels, BBC News, Channel Four+1 etc, which I don’t watch very often. BBC 1,2 ITV etc were ok, but now I’m getting occasional glitches on...

      Use Humax Remote to control Blu Ray player

      I've managed to programme my parents Humax remote to turn their TV on or off using the instructions and three digit codes in the manual. But I'm not having much joy with their Blu Ray player (Toshiba BDX1500KB). There don't appear to be any Blu Ray codes but I've tried all the DVD codes and...

      HDR-2000T or HDR-FOX T2?

      The seller Tech-Edge state that they honour the statutory 14 days cooling off period and have an additional 30 day warranty for defective products. Its only after this period where it remains to be seen if the Humax warranty is valid or not. If the machine was originally purchased by a customer...
