  I didn't see your post, Trev - thank you. I'm really not in a position even to get it out of its hole, let alone open it up. Am really up against it. "Normal" for this HDD is, as said, as if a fairy drummer lives there. Muffled drumming of fingers since Day1. I don't mind buying a new PVR...

  What a surprise! It just came to life @ the 04:19hr avoid-any-changes time. Here I am on the BBC Red Button channel. Do you have any advice, taking that into account?

  I had been having occasional crash/reboot cycles like OldWindmill but not for a while. Tonight the box wouldn't boot. I am always busy doing something else at the same time, so don't necessarily see the sequence of events. Switched off at the back, left it for a good many minutes, switched...

6. [screensaver] alternatives to the default screensaver
  
  10 decent pictures of "my own" ospreys won't be easy because the webcams are poor quality. If I come up with them I will PM you, Ezra. In the meantime - if I try out one of the existing screensavers and then remove it, will it automatically revert to the Humax one? Thank you!

  Not starlings, more like butterflies, sweeet! :D (The kids would like that too, BH.) I do like the larger version in the countryside, not the seaside one. A screensaver would not be wasted on me cos I frequently have to spend a lot of time on pause. Waiting now to see what you come up with...

  I was on the phone to a friend when I saw the email alert re your post, so I told him about it... one thing led to another and we got onto flocks of starlings - you know, that fantastic display they make whilst getting ready to roost. Well, he said that Richard Dawkins said that the same effect...

  Thanks, Ezra. I've always had gripes with Humax, both the 9200 and this one, but "strength" is not one of them. I might have worried that too many add-ons might clutter it though. It's amazing that amateurs have given their skills and time to make it so amenable and functional, which backs...
