1. Cooling Fan
  
  I can't guarantee it's the same, but I imagine the HDR-FOX is pretty similar to FOXSAT-HDR with regard to the fan. You might get some ideas from my guide here: HDR-FOX Commissioning, Disassembly, Repair (click) I doubt the third wire (tacho) is used.

3. [webif] Problem with deleting recording
  
  I realise this is second guessing, but if the decodeURIComponent wrapper isn't needed why was it ever there? What I'm getting at is that it might be the cause of this particular problem, but might not taking it out have a knock-on effect?

  Why shouldn't they be the same date? The custom version is 3.13, but (for various reasons) is applied to the back catalogue of Humax versions, so all version 3.13 were all released on the same date. For details of the advantages/disadvantages of which base revision to use, see Things Every...

5. Disk cooling
  
  The HDD temperature reading is a proxy for the system temperature. The only means we (or the Humax firmware) have to assess temperature is through the HDD's diagnostics. What you really need to worry about is the thermal management of the SoC and other parts. A few of us have added a cooling...

  If it does then it's some kind of hybrid I've never heard of before. No I've not tried recording it!

7. Legend Crashes HD-FOX
  
  I thought I had reported similar previously, but I can't find it. Trying to watch The Day Of The Jackal on Legend, my HD-FOX repeatedly crashes and reboots every few minutes. Changing channel stops the crashing.

9. Flexview duration times wrong
  
  Ideally that would be with the 'FOX in standby, and even better to coincide with the 0430 OTA wake-up. However, a mechanical time-switch does not account for GMT/BST whereas the 'FOX schedules do.

11. Recording stuff twice
  
  That might be explained if the Aura (thought it) detected a glitch in the original recording, and automatically rescheduled. I can't rationalise why it might make two recordings of the same broadcast though, that seems just daft (ie poor software).

  Not just there, lots of programmes now have this. Voice-overs during end credits are particularly annoying. I'm convinced these are all about preventing the public making a clean recording.

  Just seen a clip from the Call The Midwife xmas special, set in the (judging by the looks) early '60s. A woman turns the TV on and the picture & sound appear immediately. TVs don't boot immediately now, let alone in the '60s when all the valves and the tube had to warm up!

  I'll take that to mean "VFD" (vacuum fluorescent display). That doesn't strike me as odd, your volume label has simply filled the display.

  Which implies you got into Maintenance Mode in the end? What is? Hardly "normal" if the ring is blue! Have you done a power cycle (at the rear switch)?
