Following the HDMI green screen issues documented on another thread, I've relegated my HDR-FOX T2 to my second string PVR*, only using it to record things when I have a logjam of schedules on what is now my main PVR. This means that there's often no programmes scheduled to record, although I...
I started up the Humax this evening and there was a screen I don't recall ever seeing before, asking me to choose my subtitle preferences. After faffing about with the box for a while, including a full power-off and restart from scratch, It turned out that it was going through the...
Having had a couple of crashes in the last week, I decided to run fixdisk. It's thrown the following error/infomation message twice so far:
So my questions are:
Is this a cause for concern i.e. does it need to be fixed?
If so, how can it be fixed?
I suspect this may be a hangover from the...
First noticed this misbehaviour this evening; when playing recordings the box hangs for ~15s before responding to play, pause, stop, FFWS and RWD commands (oddly, skip forward and skip back work fine). The box does not respond to any other remote key presses - e.g. the Mute button - while it is...
I was wondering whether it would be possible for the "Mark new" function to be performed on more than one file at a time, e.g. by ticking the check box against each recording required to be marked as new, and thern having a 'batch action' button at the bottom of the window as there is for...
I've just tried to schedule a recording of Thunderball at 19:20 this evening (Saturday) on ITV4, from the EPG. I was puzzled when the box prompted me to sort out a clash with two other programmes scheduled to be recorded, but on Thursday night. I went in to the recording schedule and cancelled...
Having just recently enabled undelete, I'm now noticing that deleting files from my USB drive takes a lot longer than before (via the WebIF at least, I've not yet tried it via the user interface on the TV). It seems that this is because the delete operation is moving the file to the dustbin on...
My HDR-FOX T2 is not decrypting HD recordings using the WebIF OPT+ menu function. The recordings are unprotected (auto-unprotect is enabled and the recordings do not have the ENC flag showing) and have the DLNA indexed flag showing. When I select the decrypt function the decrpyption gets going...
I've noticed over the past week or so that recordings of programmes on BBC One HD seem to suffer from fairly frequent audio hiccups - brief drop-outs of sound lasting no more than a fraction of a second. The recordings of "Dublin Murders" from Monday and Tuesday were particularly affected...
After getting a number of "can't play files in that format" errors I've discovered that my Humax refuses to play MP4 videos from my NAS if they're in 1280x720 or 1920x1080.
If I process the original MP4s through handbrake to reduce them to 960x540 they will play.
Is this a known issue? Should...
Just this morning the webif on my HDR has started displaying the annoying habit of continually asking me to log in. If I look away from the browser for even just a few seconds, I have to log in again.
Anyone seen anything like this before?
We've been experiencing a problem with recordings from BBC HD channels suffering from picture freeze/skipping accompanied by audio drop-out for some time now. For a while it was a reasonably rare, brief and tolerable annoyance but recently it's become a lot worse. Poldark recorded last Sunday...
I've been doing a quick re-tune and shuffling my recording schedule today, and I now discover that series link is not available on CBS Action. There appears to be no CRID or PID information for the EPG entries. It definitely used to be there as I had series-linked recordings set up on the...
Yesterday evening, BBC viewers in Scotland were treated to a live broadcast of the Celtic vs Hearts game on BBC One. As a consequence, The Great British Bake Off and Our Zoo were both bumped on to BBC Two. But only in Scotland. But BBC Two HD isn't regionalised, so those two episodes weren't...
I recorded a programme on Channel 5 the other day, and wanted to transfer it to my computer to burn it to DVD. I have auto-unprotect installed. I selected "Decrypt" for the recording in the WebIf and off it went. When that completed I selected "Extract to MPG" and after a while there was the...
I've been streaming some programmes from iPlayer via the Humax portal, and saving them in the media list via the webif with the intention of transferring them to my Mac later for burning to disc. Tonight I've discovered that I can't get the files off the Humax. I can see them listed on the...
There have been numerous reports here, and on the Twonky community forums, that version 7 of Twonky Server will cause an HDR-FOX T2 on the same network to crash, if the HDR-FOX T2 is set to share its content via DLNA. I believe I have found a solution to this problem, at least for Mac users and...
Are the telnet menu and the maintenance menu built-in, or do they have to be installed?
Last weekend I finally took the plunge and upgraded my HDR-FOX T2 to 1.0.32. I installed the 2.17 custom firmware and added the packages I wanted, especially Disable DSO and Disable OTA, plus the one that...
Sorry if this is a known issue but I couldn't find any reference to it by searching.
I recently installed the custom firmware, mainly in order to be able to use the tool which disables automatic upgrades. Partly this was to avoid the risk of unwanted retunes, but also it was because we don't...
I've been trying to format an 8GB microSD card in order to copy HD recordings off the HDR via a USB card adaptor. I managed to format it as EXT3 in Ubuntu but when I put it in the Humax it reported it as being 500GB capacity with 0GB free :disagree:. So I asked the Humax to format it instead...
