As a closing statement, I will reply to your first question. If you look at my original post, I was not looking to install any custom firmware, I was looking to do something entirely different. Indeed, the clue is in the very title of the thread. If you look to the top of the screen you will...
That's fair enough I suppose. However, the instructions are far too long for the average stupid person like myself to wade through, with numerous links. I am sure they are very complete and in depth, and I only have myself to blame for wanting a quick and easy answer rather than spending all day...
Its a fair cop guv.
In my defence, I didn't associate the two things, and although I didn't read the instructions, you are right, The reboot thing is on a different screen and appears whether I have scheduled a recording or not.
Calling someone stupid for asking a question is not very helpful...
Why? Are you stupid? Or do you think you know better?
Clearly I must be stupid. So, are you suggesting I must go into the web browser on my computer on a daily basis to see if there is a message to tell me to reboot the box? If so, then it is not fit for purpose.
Why would it say it if it was...
So, having successfully installed the custom firmware and had some successes over the last few week recording and removing adverts and playing over a network, I come cap in hand with a couple of queries.
1.When viewing the web interface on my computer for the hummy I often see a small banner at...
Well,with your valuable help guys,and a special thanks to Black hole for his persitence in dragging this technophobe in to the 21st century, I have achieved what I set out to do, and a whole lot more.
So, a huge thanks to you all.
Thread closed?
Thanks. I did that. It displayed a lot of numbers I didn't really understand, no red banners anywhere suggesting imminent destruction of the disk, so I presumed it was ok.
Thank you.
I wasn't suggesting your lovely file was corrupt. More than likely a bit of fluff from my 900 year old USB drive that caused it.
ETA, looking back, I was suggesting exactly that. Whooops. Sorry bout that.
Ok. Thanks for your time.
ETA. Did the hash thingy on both files. Not a clue what I am doing, but the numbers it reports are different.

ETA
Downloaded the file again and unzipped to USB drive. Same error code...
Yes, I did extract it.
The file I have on the USB is hdr_fox_t3_upgrade.hdf
Is that correct?
ETA, above should read hdr_fox_t2_upgrade.hdf, which is what I have.
Hmm. Can I direct you to the assume v presume thread.
Alas, I ditched win doze years ago. I have an ole Linux laptop in the bottom of a drawer somewhere, or I have a chromebook, which also has Linux (or at least the chromebook version of it).
Sorry. Perhaps I should have said that earlier...
I immersed the USB device in a half eaten jar of blueberry Kompot that my Granny gave me in 1982 in the hope that that would help. I am far from certain how long I should leave it in there, but I did scrape the mould off the top first. It didn't look too good, but the cat ate it anyway.
Update...
