I would like to clarify a few things with the non-Freesat experts:
In manual tuning, what's the difference between Network on and off? It seems that only when Network is off the manual tuning finds CNN HD, Bloomberg HD and Al Jazeera HD.
On a looped tuner setup it seems only possible to record...
In case you haven't seen this already and was wondering why the Channel 4 HD EPG wasn't populated after Sat morning: Shocking news: Channel 4 HD is leaving Freesat in 2 days!
https://www.freesat.co.uk/news/all4-4hd-leave-freesat/...
At least one user of the new Remote Scheduling package has an issue with the channel database (/opt/epg/channels.db) - TBL_SVC_DEFAULT is empty, whereas TBL_SVC is not.
What's the best approach to completely rebuild it? A re-tune hasn't fixed the issue.
Would it work to rebuild TBL_SVC_DEFAULT...
I'm very pleased to announce the availability of Remote Scheduling for Foxsat-HDR.
Remote Scheduling enables you to manage your list of scheduled recordings while you're out and about, from anywhere with a Web browser and Internet connection, without having to expose your Humax device to the...
Dear all
On the Foxsat-HDR, the box, stat, df and SMB don't agree on how much free space for recordings is available.
Example:
Box: Video: Used = 852.4GB, Free = 103.4GB.
stat: 4096 233362847 25247205: Used = 890.21GB, Free = 96.31GB.
df: 933451388 832462568 53572172 94% /mnt/hd3: Used =...
The Foxsat-HDR seems to have issues with split schedules, frequent on ITV4.
For instance, if I schedule Senna 17 Sep 23:55 (and implicitly second part 18 Sep 01:00) directly on the box (not WebIf) it's exposed to Year 2038 Problem and shows the scheduled event for Tue 19 Jan 2038 03:14 duration...
Often, BBC News HD The Film Review doesn't have an ECRID, which poses several problems in terms of scheduling. Is this a Freesat problem or a CFW issue?

Here we go again. Channel 4 HD missing EPG for Sat and Sun (no EPG Sat 21 May 07:00 - Mon 23 May 07:10) this week, Channel 4+1 missing EPG for Sun (no EPG Sun 22 May 08:10 - Mon 23 May 08:10).
This seems to happen often, does this affect all Freeview PVRs or only the HDR-FOX T2 with custom...
Dear all
Are you aware of anyone having attempted porting Remote Scheduling from HDR-FOX T2 to FOXSAT-HDR?
If not, I would like to have a go. I already have shell scripts implementing keyword-based scheduling on FOXSAT-HDR and I'm aware of most of the differences between HDR-FOX T2 and...
CFW 3.02/3.03
rs 1.4.1
webif 1.2.6-1
It often happens that RS/WebIf schedules the wrong event for recording.
Example:
Schedule "Professor Green: Hidden and Homeless" Wed 10 Feb 2016 00:40 for recording. Pending Scheduled Events shows the correct program but you'll end up getting the program...
Dear all
The original 1TB Seagate Pipeline HD in my HDR FOX-T2 started suffering from one bad sector and bad SMART values (eg Disk pending sector count is: 8 and Disk offline sector count is: 8) so I started the process of cloning to a new drive.
Since I lately have had quite a few issues with...
I'm experiencing that many recordings have the wrong synopsis. I can't see a clear pattern but often the synopsis will be the synopsis of the program that is broadcast on the channel when the recording starts - I use 5 min padding before and after.
It appears that the synopsis is correct when I...
Dear all
I don't have access to BBC FOUR HD and BBC NEWS HD on Freeview in my area but I have access to Freesat so I can watch it there.
I'm contemplating getting a used FOXSAT and installing custom firmware including the stuff that ensures that HD recordings aren't encrypted.
I have an...
Dear all
My box crashes if I press Media too soon after it has been booted. This is quite annoying as I hardly ever watch live TV, always recorded content.
When the box crashes it removes the installed packages and their settings, which is obviously time consuming to configure again after...
Dear all
Sometimes I get warnings about conflicts when there are none. It seems that somehow the schedules are messed up and the box thinks that it has to record the same program twice at the same time.
Example:
Conflicts have been detected in your recording schedule on humax.
The following...
