8nn stations
Where I live (North London/Hertfordshire borders), I receive a stonking signal from Crystal Palace, a good signal from Bluebell Hill, and an OK signal from somewhere in Sussex. Fortunately the Bluebell Hill and Sussex transmitters are on higher RF channels than CP, so I pull the antenna lead...- Andrew Benham

WiFi Unable to Connect
Those network settings won't get you connectivity to the Internet - you've no valid gateway, nor can you reach your DNS server. If those settings have been given out by the Netgear's DHCP server, then it's misconfigured. The IP address is in one of the blocks from RFC5737: "IPv4 Address Blocks...- Andrew Benham

Streaming HD content TO the hummy from PC
One thing to be aware of is that installing the custom firmware results in the Humax having a telnet daemon and a web daemon with no authentication. Not ideal if you don't trust everyone on your LAN :-( I installed dropbear-ssh, set up public key authentication, disabled password logons on ssh...- Andrew Benham

Announcing DNS name on uPnP (for webif)
I just dug out my BeBox TG585v7! I'm on BE, but don't use their box. Anyway, the commands needed are under dhcp server options but it all looks rather gory. I suspect it's too much hassle for the average user. http://www.neologue.co.uk/mwuki?title=Thomson+Speedtouch+telnet+interface- Andrew Benham

Time Standard
A Humax isn't generally on all the time. When it is on, it may not be on t'Internet, and it may not have an antenna connected. Makes it a little harder. Do we get events on the Humax when network interfaces go up and down ? My Debian boxes (re)start ntp when an interface is brought up...- Andrew Benham

Imported .ts files report half the true length
I have a Sagem PVR which is now in use by SWMBO, and I have the shiny new Humax. So I pulled some .ts files off the Sagem and put them on the Humax where they play fine. Except that the reported length (in time terms) is exactly half of the true length (e.g. a film which runs for 1 hour and...- Andrew Benham

"poweroff" binary in firmware
Should the poweroff binary do what it says on the tin ? Or should I add a symlink to it named "lockup", because that's what it does to my Humax :-( Running it throws me off my ssh connection, but then the Humax remains on but doesn't respond to the front panel or the remote control. However it...- Andrew Benham

Announcing DNS name on uPnP (for webif)
I've just wiresharked the Humax's ethernet port on startup, its DHCP request is asking for: IP address; Subnet Mask; Broadcast Address; Time Offset; Router; Domain Name; Domain Name Server; Domain Search; Host Name; NetBIOS server name; NetBIOS server scope; MTU; Static Routes; NTP Server...- Andrew Benham

Announcing DNS name on uPnP (for webif)
Does your DHCP server send a domain name to clients ? Having asked that, I ought to check whether the Humax dhcp client asks for the domain name option. Anyway, upshot is this should be set via DHCP, not uPnP.- Andrew Benham

Problem with custom firmware
If the custom firmware is loaded, there'll be daemons listening on ports 23 and 80 which weren't there before. Try telneting to those ports, or run nmap (http://nmap.org/) on another machine on the LAN.- Andrew Benham

Cant load 1.02.27 firmware on to hdr fox t2
I presume when doing an upgrade that the USB drive is mounted by the bootloader. So that might have different requirements for the USB drive than the running kernel does for normal mounting of media. In other words, I suspect that a USB drive which works OK on the running Humax might not...- Andrew Benham

Network Access Without Using Home Network
I tried this morning, and my Sony Vaio laptop talks just fine to my Humax using a straight cable - but having done some tests with other hardware, I think I've proved that my Vaio does auto-sense on the Ethernet port, so I haven't proved conclusively that the Humax does.- Andrew Benham

Network Access Without Using Home Network
If you connect Hummy to Laptop with a cable, as per Ezra's post, you'll need a cross-over Ethernet cable. [ I presume, I doubt the Hummy or the Laptop will auto-sense the cable ].- Andrew Benham

HDR Fox T2 Wireless Dongle
Do you have MAC filtering enabled for Wi-Fi on the Netgear ? If so, you'll need to add the dongle's MAC address to the list of permitted stations.

Humax HDR Fox T2
Could it be a firewall issue (or content blocker) on your router ? Do your router stats show that lots of packets are being passed to the Humax ? The 2 possibilities are that your router isn't passing video packets to the Humax; or that it is but the Humax isn't displaying the video.- Andrew Benham
