Customised HDF file released
Bixieupnorth - what packages are you running? It sounds like something is wiping files out of /mod, which is what happened to me when there was an obscure bug in something else (now thankfully long fixed).- Sam Widges

WebIF - can it be accessed from the WAN?
Makem, I swapped some notes offline with af123 and he has very kindly added some tweaks to dropbear that should allow many of the next steps to be done through the web interface, which is definitely a case of going above and beyond the call of duty. The next step that is needed is to create...- Sam Widges

WebIF - can it be accessed from the WAN?
Can we take 5 here for a moment? I've been working through some of the next stages with a view to writing them up and it's one of those situations where there is a bit of a steep learning curve and the steps are straightforward in hindsight but more difficult for the first-timer.

WebIF - can it be accessed from the WAN?
Don't worry, we're getting there. Here are the instructions for the next stage (key updates highlighted): Forward a TCP port on the outside of the router to port 22 on the Humax. Open PuTTY and type the IP address of the Router into the "Host Name" box, make sure that the SSH radio button is...- Sam Widges

WebIF - can it be accessed from the WAN?
Excellent - the next thing to do is to set up a port forward from your router on some random number to port 22 on the Humax. Then, point PuTTY at the router address and port and see if you can achieve the same. Once that works, disable the port forwarding on the router and we'll work on making...- Sam Widges

WebIF - can it be accessed from the WAN?
Makem, could you clarify something. Above, you said "I have SSH working using the settings in webIF. But don't know how to 'add a local tunnel'." - what exactly do you mean by "working"?- Sam Widges

It's working at this end. Sometimes it helps to follow someone else's instructions, so here's what I did...

WebIF - can it be accessed from the WAN?
I've just had a closer look at your steps above and I think I know the first problem - in step 1 leave the port as 22 - you are setting up a connection to port 22 that will allow you to fake a connection to port 80 (that's the tunnel setup bit). Leave the rest the same and let me know how you...- Sam Widges

WebIF - can it be accessed from the WAN?
You probably aren't giving the IP address of either the Humax or the router in the "Host Name" box. Start your testing by tunnelling port 80 through a direct ssh connection to the Humax and, when that works, set up port forwarding through the router and get that working. Save the tunnel...- Sam Widges

HDR remote re-tuning
If you're North-East of Chelmsford, you could consider swinging your aerial around to Sudbury while you are away (http://www.ukfree.tv/shutdowndetail.php?tx=TL913377).

Authentication for SSH is different to authentication for WebIF.

You don't need a full VPN to access your Humax remotely - you only need to forward the ports that are of interest, typically 23 (telnet) and 80 (http). I wouldn't bother trying to forward 21(ftp) due to the slow speeds you would get. This is best done using PuTTY. You need to port forward from...- Sam Widges
