      Lost network access

      I can only assume that prpr and blackhole are just a little upset that neither of them thought to ask you how the humax was connected to the network... thank god for Martin eh ;)

      Seagate Pipeline 2Tb ST2000VM003

      I had one replaced under warranty after about 6 months use but the replacement has been fine for a few years now.

      Signal - Strength / Quality

      Actually it looks like thy may be planning on maintaining a kind of minimum service after the switch is complete in 2020. They are moving both COM7 and COM8 to the "50"s range on winter hill which the old C/D aerials can pick up. That might mean that everyone can still receive the bulk of the HD...

      Signal - Strength / Quality

      philbean I would be very surprised given what you have said on the two threads that you have started if you haven't got a C/D aerial. Some good examples of how to physically check on the websites noted above. Optimum range of the C/D aerials is 690mhz (channel 48) and up so given that the...

      Issues after the 7 March retune event

      I remember doing some research on this a while ago but I seem to remember something about the planned changes to winter hill frequencies to be done by 2020 pushing them out of the range of the group C/D aerials that were fitted in the area in the age of analogue - meaning that everyone in the...

      Very Large Internal Hard Disk, over 4TB

      Is the other partition visible if you press the blue button with "my video" - like you would press to view an external usb drive? Might be worth trying that with and without some kind of USB storage connected as the Humax might need to detect a device in order to show any extra storage.

      Very Large Internal Hard Disk, over 4TB

      Would is be possible to have 2x 4 TB partitions on the same drive? Then have one to record new things to and the other as an archive for older recordings? Maybe have sweeper move movies over to the archive automatically? EDIT: just seen that free30 already mentioned this...

      :) They need a challenge!!! Wouldn't plex without transcoding still be possible/useful?

      FOX T2 Hacking?

      Genuinely struggling to think of something I want the CF to do that it can't.... Maybe a plex server? Transcoding would be out of the question though (I assume). I really have got the the stage where I take all he CF features for granted - it's a testament to all your hard work that if my HDR...

      [CFW 3.11] Customised Firmware v3.11 released.

      You're probably right in that you don't notice it because you don't use it much. We use the hummy to watch live broadcasts - don't even bother with an aerial to the TV - and the difference in EPG scroll speed is extremely noticeable to me and SWMBO. Although I do remember that the effect was...

      [webif] Web Interface 1.4.x

      Loving the new functionality of the webif - it's great how there's still so much going on. May or may not be related to the new version but Webif auto_decrypt has started leaving copies of all recordings it has processed in the deleted items folder. Don't recall it doing this before - any...

      To buy or not to buy an other foxy

      I suppose that's my point really. Don't know if the "full warranty" will be worth the 4x price. The HDD which is probably the most likely thing to break will definitely be out of manufacturer's warranty so in that respect you might be better getting a second hand fox and buy a brand new HDD...

      To buy or not to buy an other foxy

      Interesting point about the warranty. Surely there will came a point where the warranty won't be valid even though the box is unoppened? Its been discontinued for almost 3 years.

      MKV Format

      I had some joy using custom firmware and the ffmpeg package to quickly convert some mkvs to mp4s on the box. Like af123 said, mkvs are just a container and it does depend what's inside them but confusingly the Humax will sometimes play the same combination of audio/video stream contained in an...

      Replacement HDD, best one

      I know you specifically said 1TB was fine but... https://www.scan.co.uk/products/2tb-seagate-st2000vm003-pipeline-hd-av-video-35-sata-iii-6gb-s-hdd-5900rpm-64mb-cache-ncq Not too much more than I can find the 1TB for - and you might feel better about having to spend the money :-) Obviously...

      webif crashes / issues

      fix-flash-packages fixed my issues. It must clear something a normal uninstall doesn't? Although I don't think I power cycled before reinstalling manually when I tried that... if that could make a difference? All fixed now anyway. So glad - I forgot how annoying the standard function of the...
