    1. Black Hole

      iOS Storage Formats

      While investigating problems I am having moving video files around, I came across the following information which might be common knowledge (not to me!) but useful nonetheless. According to this Seagate info, the following applies to iPadOS 16 and later, i(Phone)OS 17 and later: I'm not sure...

      Evolution vs. Creationism

      I've had a thought which has rocked my faith in atheism. We are well aware that creationists point at something complex like the eye, and declare that as proof of design. An evolutionists say that the eye evolved from just a light sensitive cell and subsequent random mutations by survival of...

      Problem with PMs/DMs/Conversations (work-around)

      Since the 20/11/024 forum software update/upgrade (which, IIRC, renamed "conversations" to "direct messaging", even though "personal messaging" is the de-facto standard), there has been an unresolved bug. This was drawn to the attention of the Almighty by DM and in the forum upgrade thread, but...

      According to one three of my boxes, tmenu has been updated. What?

      Gold Plating

      Anybody know anything about it / can do it? I have some rotary switches with silver contacts (can't get anything else in low quantity) and I want to increase their reliability. I've seen videos about how it can be done, but the chemicals are expensive for a tiny one-off job (and kits...

      Embed Tag

      What's this ... tag @/df seems to have discovered HERE? It's not listed in the BB Help page. Is it new? How did you know about it? I wonder what other undocumented/undiscovered formatting tags there might be.

      Reboot Affected Signal Strength!

      I was watching Dave perfectly well, but the machine needed a reboot because the schedule had gone AWOL (again – this is the third machine, and no I didn't think to look at previous advice). After the reboot, Dave was all blocky. Hard to believe it's a coincidence.

      Cognitive Biases

      I've been very stupid. I think this might be an example of "anchoring bias", but I'm not sure how to classify it: I needed some ducting 150mm diameter. I knew it needed to be 150mm diameter. I spent about a day trying to find what I needed, but not knowing what to call it I ended up with...

      EPG Error – How Do They Do It (Quest)

      The advertised synopsis is shifted by one from the broadcast programme. I was looking forward to an item about sniper rifles, only to find that was probably on last night and instead got a programme including the making of cricket bats. Yep, now the EPG says cricket bats, but actually we're...

      BBC2 Chess

      Anyone watching the chess? Why the heck didn't Deema (or whatever her name is) take the checking rook with her knight??

      Truncated WebIF Display of Log Files

      Picking up from here: Here is a typical example: Notice the headline says the file is 5725 lines and showing only the most recent 5000 (that's normal for the WebIF Diagnostics log file viewer), but I'm only actually being shown 519 lines. This is persistent over multiple refreshes and...

      Coil Packs (cars)

      What does the team think?: I had 3 coil packs* (out of 4) fail within about 30 miles**, had all four replaced and my car has been fine since then (the fourth was replaced as a precaution, it could have failed any time). [ * Actually coil-on-plug, but everyone seems to call them coil packs...

      Legend Crashes HD-FOX

      I thought I had reported similar previously, but I can't find it. Trying to watch The Day Of The Jackal on Legend, my HD-FOX repeatedly crashes and reboots every few minutes. Changing channel stops the crashing.

      RS Scheduled Event Not Working

      I have a couple of advanced rules on RS for my HDR4 to schedule recording ISIHAC (AKA 'Clue'), which show matching events, and show HDR4 is checking in, and yet the events have not been scheduled. I've looked in rs.log, and it is full of "Error encountered, Error: 28 - Timeout was reached"...

      Failed Recording

      I was watching U&Yesterday (Mendip UHF36) when the HD-FOX was due to record Strictly (Mendip UHF32), but it didn't. When I realised I manually switched over to BBC ONE and (after a short delay) it started recording, but I am a little perplexed that the AR system didn't work.

      Voyager (Sky Mix)

      Last week Voyager came to the end of its run. This week it has started again from Episode 1! ...but with no series link.

      Empty Schedule

      I'm getting this on a frequent basis, on a HDR-FOX and a HD-FOX, but the HD-FOX is the current case in point. I'm posting in the CF section only because CF will be involved in the process of diagnosis. Left to its own devices over the weekend (not in standby), the unit in question recorded on...

      Change of Circumstances...

      Hey folks, I'm looking down the barrel of having to sell up and downsize – a number of things have aligned to precipitate this. I have a number of HDR-FOX "hulks", mostly (I believe) in stock for spare parts or investigation without obligation. If anyone believes they have a claim please...
