1. [fan] More control over HDR fan
  
  For information: I was wondering why my HDR4 was having bursts of fan activity when HDR1 and HDR3 do not. The answer is that HDR1&3 are set to minimum fan = 40%, whereas HDR4 was 29% (for some reason, now corrected). Perhaps it would be possible to give fan a thermostatic option: modulate the...

  If you want a solution (or at least a work-around): install Custom Firmware. The rs package (in combination with the Remote Scheduling website) provides the facility to make a persistent search on the EPG for programmes matching text strings (and other criteria), and alert you and/or...

  Yes: if the broadcasters don't set the CRIDs properly, the recorder can't identify whether a programme is in the same series. Go into the hidden service menu* and set Display CRID = Enable. Then, if you bring up the information for any particular programme in the EPG, you will see codes for...

5. Item stuck in Queue Tasks after crash - how to remove reminder please
  
  The only things which will not get reinstated is any task which has been added to the queue manually. Jobs which are the result of auto-processing will just get re-added. Or a glitch (such as a corrupted queue.db file) just needs sorting out and everything will be fine after that.

6. Aura UHD android TV recorder November launch
  
  My old analogue PVR had editing functions, but I suspect the problems with the editing provided on early digital PVRs persuaded the makers it wasn't worth the hassle. There is no way to edit a DVB stream cleanly unless you first convert it to a more amenable format.

  If you are only running it for maintenance purposes you are better off with lo-tech behind-the-bleeding-edge versions of software. I've been on the Mint forum since I started playing with it for my self-build Ryzen PC, and frankly a lot of people have problems with 20 (including me) according...

  Hurrah! :cheers: Now, what about the HDR-FOX? Which Linux in particular? I prefer Linux Mint, which is very Windows-like, but avoid 19.3 or 20. You don't need anything modern for what you want, and I'll add a link later for a "rescue" version (not necessarily Mint).

  Temporally! However, I don't know why I'm feigning jealousy - it is rare my available bandwidth isn't adequate for my needs (unless it drops out completely - I'd like to get rid of that!).

  I ought to review what's available at no more cost than I'm paying overall now, but the only alternative I have to landline (which just about manages 3Mbps) is Virgin. There have been men digging up roads recently though, so fibre-to-cabinet might be around the corner.

  Fair enough. Have you used system tools to check whether there are any left-over sidecar files? The standard tools (on-screen media list, or even the WebIF media browser) won't necessarily show them up.
