  Hi MikeSh, Thanks for the thought. Yes, I did try several backups and had the same problem with each. I viewed each backup and they seem to be complete, but once restored the outcome was the same, only six channels in the Favourites. The backup itself looks fine, but the restore process is not...

  Just an update on my HDR-T2. The random 'restore factory defaults' has happened another three times now. Doing the factory default has brought it back each time, but on the latest occasion the auto backup/restore is not working correctly with respect to the previously saved favourites and...

  Hello, My HDR-T2 has custom FW 3.10 and is normally put into standby when not needed for playing back recordings. During the last week on two separate occasions it was woken up from standby using the remote and the box appeared to be in a 'new' state, whereby it was asking me to select language...

5. Installed CF and getting channels 800+ in epg
  
  Probably the quickest solution would be to insert a variable attenuator into the aerial feed and adjust it until your wanted signals are just above the threshold. At that point your weaker unwanted signals will no longer be receivable. Now do an auto retune and you shouldn't have any channels in...

  Interesting - I can't get VLC to work on my iPad mini (iOS 7.0.4). It works fine for SD but on HD the sound plays but the picture is frozen/jumpy/blocky. Not watchable at all. Any thughts?

Neither source was being viewed on the TV although both were connected (in my particular configuration). There should be no video output signal on either HDMI or SCART from...

  If it works without an amp, albeit with reduced signal strength, why fit an amplifier? If the quality is "rock solid 100% on all muxes" then you clearly do not need an amplifier. Fitting another one is just asking for more trouble.
