Okay, I performed a total system reset and after nearly a couple of weeks of behaving correctly the box last night made a 95 minute recording last for 439 minutes and prevented another scheduled recording from happening. Not sure if its relevant, but yesterday afternoon I performed a channel...
Its not the tuners or the supply to the tuners as I am getting good signal levels reported and 100% quality at all times. The problem would seem to be in the circuitry that does the decoding or the processing of the decoded signals. In the picture that Black Hole kindly posted above, the heat...
Update.
An exchange of PSU boards between my two units shows that the problem is NOT with the PSU.
Use of a hairdrier and freezer spray on the faulty unit seems to indicate that the problem is on the main board with either the large component with the winged heatsink (microprocessor?) or IC...
Hi MymsMan,
Yes, I have got Sysmon and Fan packages already installed and over the past 30 days temperatures have never exceeded 40 degrees (Fan package set at 50%). Do you see these messages just at startup or at other times? I am seeing them on all channels, SD and HD.
After my box had a bit...
Hi Martin,
That would be an idea, but at the moment the box has started to behave itself! After an hour+ of letting things cool off it is still starting as it should. Whilst the covers were off I did remove the HDD/Fan unit and disconnect/reconnect the cable between PSU and main board just to...
Hi All,
Previous recordings are all decrypted.
Just tried the box with HDD disconnected and no difference.
Whilst the lid is off I took a look at the PSU capacitors and no bulging seen.
Whilst a signal was being received I used some freezer spray to try to find any weak component(s) and all...
Signal detection shows signal strengths are all in the 60% area apart from the two Local muxes which are 40% and 25%. Quality on all is 100%. Again, my other box from the same aerial and similar levels is working fine.
I did have a couple of re-boots on this box this morning as well. Whilst in...
Hi Trev,
Signals from one transmitter only (Hannington) - see attached:
The one channel I have in the 800s is due to Hannington having local services for both Reading and North Hants. My other Fox T2 has similar signal levels (fed from the same aerial) and is working fine.
Hi Trev,
Thanks for the thought.
Signal strength is fine. I am getting a good signal strength and 100% quality. In any case, no/low signal gives a different grey screen warning - "The receiver is not receiving a signal or the signal is too weak".

Hi All,
One of my HDR-Fox-T2's has recently had an issue on powering up from standby.
Initially (a couple of days ago), for a couple of seconds, I got a message on a grey background saying "This channel is scrambled or unavailable" quickly followed by "No programmes are currently being...
No, I'm only receiving signals from one transmitter (Hannington).
I can try the crop option,but it's most likely that these programmes will be deleted once viewed.
Thanks,
Peter
Thanks again BH,
I'm just waiting for the box to finish decrypting the Guy Martin programme. Even though it's shown as 120 mins duration the file size is over 20GB! Auto-decrypt taking its time accordingly. There was another prog recorded last night, 1 hour duration SD, and that is showing as an...
Hi,
I've had this problem three times in the last week where the HDR-T2 continued to record after the scheduled end time. Three different programmes on three different channels.
The first I was aware of this problem was when recording the MotoGP last Monday and the box was still recording long...
Hello All,
I've just purchased one of the LED Light Mini 150M USB RT3070 dongles off eBay as suggested in the Wiki (FAQ - which wifi dongle) and is doesn't seem to work with the Hummy on wifi channels 1 to 4. It works fine on a laptop, but when tried on two HDR-Fox T2s running CFW 3.13 it does...
Yes, the channel list seems full and I can create a favourite list manually. Its only when I do a 'restore' that I end up with only the first 6 channels in the favourite list. Then, I have to go back in and manually add the other channels it missed. Very strange!
