      FAQ: Glossary of Terms

      Hello BH - I went looking for the reference to Mr Spigots tarzan audition and thought I'd have a wander down the glossary over a cuppa and spotted something to add to the netiquette acronym section - seeing as most of our trepidation over testing and playing stems from a fear of upsetting them...

      HD Flags on ITV HD & CH4 HD

      An overall setting I'm afraid - I always notice it most if I'm watching the main news (so if I'm bugged enough I watch the BBC instead!!) - but I don't notice it as much on any of the other stuff on ITV so I wondered if it's anything to do with how ITV get the news program from ITN??

      HD Flags on ITV HD & CH4 HD

      Yes I found that as well - I had a play with the Audio Delay option in the Hummy menu to make it less noticeable but you have to find the balance to get ITV HD OK without messing up everything else.

      Fan Noise

      Would that be Casey jones of who was the driver of the cannonball express?? I can just about remember the show with that theme tune :-)

      Channel Re-order

      Schedules can indeed be backed up as a feature of the Custom Firmware - which you can find out about on the Wiki and in the pinned topics at the top of this section. Not sure about backing up the channel list though - maybe an idea to add to the to-do list?

      Dumping DVD to Humax

      I've found it handy if people have offered to lend me a DVD of a TV series or something like that. Rather than rush through watching all the episodes to give the disc back, I do a rip to my NAS then watch 'em at whatever pace I like.

      Dumping DVD to Humax

      Assuming you have a non copy protected DVD ;) I use Freemake to extract everything to a file all in one step. You can play with the Output formats and various resolution settings to your preference but it works well for me and once you press Go you only need to come back when it's finished - in...

      iPlayer bandwidth?

      Yes that's correct - the file is presumably always saved on the box even with the std firmware, but the mods allow access to it either directly via Telnet if you know those commands or more conveniently (for people like me especially) via the Web Interface.

      Pimp My Humax?

      I'm sure there was a kid at school that used to get out of cross country runs cos he had conical feet!!

      iPlayer bandwidth?

      The web-if has an option to save last streamed content if you're running it - there's some info in the Wiki (Click)

      Pimp My Humax?

      Never mind purple rings and green faces (ooh that sounds painful - I think there's a cream you can get for that:D ) - I thought I'd hit the jackpot when I found out the remote would work my telly!!

      Pimp My Humax?

      I stumbled across this during a lunchtime meander around - they claim to provide some sort of 'improved' version of Humax boxes.... http://www.russandrews.com/product.asp?lookup=1&region=UK&currency=GBP&pf_id=8603&customer_id=PAA1413031712469DORBLRJHEEEIWWVC All for the bargain price of £611...

      IR remote extender?

      Someone once advised me in a similar situation to try and arrange it as two rows of holes - one as high as possible and one as low as possible so that the hot air is forced out the top row and draws fresher air in at the bottom. They reckoned that would create a circulation effect more than...

      iPlayer bandwidth?

      Just googled it - the BBC website says this : BBC iPlayer TV programmes streamed to your device use 1500kbps or 800kbps of bandwidth for standard (SD) tv content. To enjoy high quality, uninterrupted programme playback you'll need an internet connection that delivers at least 2Mbps of...

      iPlayer bandwidth?

      Before I switched back to BT from Virgin (copper not fibre) I used to get less than 1Mbps in the peak hours of the evening and it wasn't enough for SD iplayer (that was what caught my attention to start finding out why I got such a low figure and it ended up with me switching back to BT (I know...

      I can't see my files on the hummy from xbmc

      Ah - and so the flaw is uncovered! Sorry!

      I can't see my files on the hummy from xbmc

      I had a hunt about on the forums for xbmc - there might be some useful info somewhere in Here (Click) . It does say that XBMC is alright but may struggle with HD - SplashPlayer is another option which seems to have had better results.

      I can't see my files on the hummy from xbmc

      I'm assuming you enabled media streaming on the Hummy (Menu > System > Internet Settings > Content Share) when you said you enabled options to see the Hummy. The next bit is you may have to wait a while for the files to get indexed before you see them (especially as you said you've got plenty of...

      Remote re-tuning

      The web-if does provide some diagnostic info regarding available muxes and strengths etc Scroll this page to the bottom but that is only if you can connect directly to the box from somewhere else (but this has been done with dynamic DNS and port forwarding wizardry Here (Click) . The other...

      Is my Grade A box faulty?

      I have read mixed experiences on here although from memory I think if you bought from Humax direct and play their diagnostic games they do sort things out (but I'm sure someone with direct experience will confirm/deny that). You could have a look Here (Click) where serial numbers are being...
