  HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey
  
  I really like the simplicity and reliability of this software, as well as the fact that the recordings can be played on any machine, including my Humax Aura. (Recordings made on the Aura can only be played on that specific machine due to encryption). For me the downside is still the need to...

  Subtitle display sync (good or bad?)
  
  We started using an Aura a few days ago. We use subtitles quite a bit, and so far have not noticed any issues at all, even after skipping ad breaks.

  Auto re-create sidecar files
  
  @andyk The ability to recreate thumbs and sidecar files is something I have been looking for also. Would you be willing to make your mods available and explain how you run the process daily (nightly!)? Or point me in the right direction if I've overlooked something already in the CF...

  HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey
  
  I have found this discussion most helpful. Like many others I am planning my HDR Fox-T2 replacement. I have had two for many years, which has completely solved the "running out of tuners" problem. We only watch HD, so one does the BBC channels and the other one does Ch 3, 4, 5. Sadly, one is...

  HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey
  
  Something I would find useful for the guide is a time-ordered listing of one channel, accessed by clicking on the channel name. I often use the one in the Humax custom firmware when I'm looking through the listings to see if there is anything of interest coming up - a screen clip is attached.

  New LG Smart TV. Audio dropouts via HDMI
  
  Another update. My dropouts started to get more frequent again. So I called into Richer Sounds, who sold me the TV, and the guy there said he had lost count of the number of customers who had had similar HDMI problems with this LG TV. His considered advice was "go back to optical and stick...
