      4000T no signs of life

      I guess I'm failing to find an existing thread, maybe someone could point me in the right direction? Basically my 4000T appears dead - no lights or anything. When we tried to use it first today it wasn't responding (no lights), after unplugging and back in (at back of unit) I initially got a...

      What is an malformed AAC bitstream?

      I've been trying to use Q Download to download a program which I've done in the past. This time the program has downloaded but the box crashed while trying to fix an malformed AAC bitstream. I'm now in a vicious circle of crash, , power off/on, restarting the queued download, downloading video...

      Keeps forgetting channels

      Hi, my fox-t2 keeps forgetting most channels. I can scan and save the channels and it all works fine. However, as soon as I turn it off and restart it (via remote), it forgets most of the channels, leaving me with perhaps a couple (usually in the 800 range). Is there a battery inside which...

      How to change region

      I've just done the smart retune to get local HD news and selected the wrong region (I selected SW instead of West). To fix that I've tried to do another smart tune, but this time I wasn't given the option as to which of 3 the regions I wanted. Is there a way to change my region short of a...

      Network keeps disconnecting

      My 4000T has suddenly started disconnecting and reconnecting the network. It's variable but quite frequent, it drops and then quickly reconnects. There doesn't appear to be a problem with any other device in the house using wifi. You can see the message come up while watching live TV, recording...

      HDD or Tuner on blink?

      Hi, I'm having problems with 4000 (6 years old) which sometimes pixelates, temporarily freezes etc. This happens on recordings and live TV. Watching TV directly (using TV tuner which is last in RF chain) seems fine suggesting something on the PVR. I've done a manual retune choosing the HD...

      Hard drive problem?

      Just before Xmas I couldn't access my recordings in my 4000. By turning it off / on I managed to get them back. Today I have the same problem, except this time I can't get them back. Power off / on doesn't work. Pull plug out doesn't work. No recordings. The drive is a few years old so I'm...

      Recovery of programs on demand!

      Well that was interesting! For ages now I've had no access to programs on demand (if that's the right term), i.e. if I go to the EPG and go left I just get 'no program information'. Annoying but not the end of the world as I could still access the programs more painfully through the players...

      How to skip in iPlayer

      When I start watching something in iPlayer I now always seem to get an trailer for a random program, but iPlayer suggests I can skip watching that trailer if I press what looks like a next chapter button. Any thoughts which that is on my remote '>' or '>>' and Play don't seem to...

      Broken series links or just me?

      Is there a problem with series links or is it just my box? The other day the 4000T decided that it wasn't going to continue to record the latest series of The Repair Shop (BBC1 9th 20:00) Last week it decided that it would record the first Motor Pickers (Quest 3rd 22:00) but not the second one...

      FVP4000T some catchup missing

      This seems weird. The round available on catchup logo is missing on loads of programs yet to be broadcast, although is available on a few (e.g. BBC2 The Great British Sewing Bee and Beechgrove on Weds around 02:00). Looking at previous programs, large amounts of time have programs missing and...

      Random problems

      Hi, I wonder if someone could help please, I'm having a few random problems. The history (which may not all be relevant) is that a few weeks ago I was having home WiFi problems and as a side effect ended up changing Hummy network settings changing from WiFi to LAN. I think at this point remote...

      Remote Scheduling

      Given that it is possible to schedule recordings to the 4000T from https://www.myhumax.net/TVGuide should it not be possible to modify Remote Scheduling https://rs.hpkg.tv/ to also work for the 4000T ? To my mind https://rs.hpkg.tv/ is better anyway as it enables me to automatically record...

      Using external USB HDD

      Hi, I went for the 500GB 4000T but can see that I'm going to need more storage than that before long. As I see it there are 2 options 1) Replace the internal HDD (and invalidate the warranty) 2) Add a external USB HDD Since I've only just bought this I'd rather not invalidate the warranty just...

      What have I started watching?

      Hi, Is there a way I can see which recordings I have started watching? I know if there is only 1 recording in a folder once I start watching it the New message disappears, however if there are multiple recordings one of which I've started watching and others not, I can't see how to work out...

      (In)accurate recording

      I've only just bought the 4000T so am still recording programs on both my Fox and 4000T while I set it up. Recording The Apprentice You're hired, the 4000T cut out after 55mins (before the end), while the Fox recorded 59mins (after the end). What gives? The 4000T settings for padding are both...

      Changing the remote IR codes

      Hi, I've just bought one of these primarily for catch-up and it's multiple tuners (getting too many conflicts on HDR Fox-T2), so the first thing I want to do is change the IR code so it doesn't control this and the Fox. Can this be done please? I seem to recall I can do it on the Fox, but would...
