     What happened to my lighting

     The switch on the relevant breaker could be pushed into the "on" position with zero resistance which is what I was trying to convey by using the word "limp". My guess is that some time, not too far in the future one of the bulbs will fail.

     What happened to my lighting

     No, it never occurred to me to turn off the whole consumer unit. No there was no lightening in the area.

     What happened to my lighting

     Last night everything was fine. Today I had been working in the garden until 5pm and when I came in I tried to switch on a light; irritatingly I can't remember whether it was the utility room or the kitchen, nothing happened so I went and looked at the consumer unit and sure enough a circuit...

     Humax greenscreen on some tvs

     It certainly could be a component failure but back in the days when you could buy brand new HDR-FOX T2 there were reports of the problem with brand new boxes.

     Please can you give an example of what channels you were using when the signal test page was only showing one tuner active?

     Recording stuff twice

     It is very basic interface and I suspect that is why it isn't documented but it does have quite a lot of functionality. How were you playing recordings via web browser on an HDR-FOX T2?

     Recording stuff twice

     I see it happening very occasionally; but not enough to worry me. Try http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/page/index.html where 192.168.xxx.xxx is the full IP address of your Aura. You can also use DLNA if the TV supports it, if in Settings > Record and Share you scroll down and turn on the Network...

      Replacing hard disk

      I suspect that is a reference to the HB-1100S that should have been deleted in the HDR-1100S manual. Anyway try it and see.

      Aura Not Playing Recordings

      There is more than one factory reset options on the Aura; at least one of the options claims not to delete recordings. A cautious person would copy the important recording off by FTP before doing a reset.

      2000t stuck in reboot loop

      To me this sounds similar to a boot problem on the HDR-FOX T2 which was traced to a capacitor going out of spec. It is a long thread to read but a solution was found see https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/start-up-fails-when-hdd-connected.10164/

      Bad remote???

      They have two remotes for the FVP-5000T; did you buy the genuine Humax remote or the slightly cheaper one labelled as a "replacement remote"?

      2000t stuck in reboot loop

      My advice would be to disconnect the hard drive and see if it boots. IF it is a file system issue then it could be recovered by connecting it to a computer using Linux and using the file system repair tools.
