I've just bought a "new" HD-FOX to replace my old one that died. I have tried to put the custom firmware on but am not having much luck.
The download and install seems to go OK, but when I press the power button to restart it just "hangs" at the initial startup screen, with the LED segments...
I've got an HD-FOX that has been working well for several months but has suddenly lost its WebIf. It threw an error when attempting to re-download the WebIf and an ext2 utility on my PC claimed the USB drive had no files on it. Presuming that the drive might have got corrupted, I tried running...
I just wanted to share my recent experiences in the hope they might help others.
I'd experienced a lot of issues with my 'Fox either crashing, or losing signal, several times a day. I noticed that the tuner module was getting very hot; so much so that it was uncomfortable to touch.
I did think...
I've been using RS for several years without issues, but in the last couple of days it seems to have gone horribly wrong. Symptoms include:
- Humax is reported as only being "seen" at the time of reboot, rather than at regular intervals through the day (although the "Recent Activity" table keeps...
I thought I'd share some experiences with the community, in case they are of interest to anyone else with multiple TVs...
My 'Fox is in the living room, connected by HDMI to my main TV. I also have a second, smaller, TV in the kitchen - there is an aerial connection between the two, and a UHF...
As per the title, I'm wondering if we have any sense yet of what the long-term reliability of the 'Fox hardware is likely to be. Is it reasonable to suppose my box will still be working in 5 years' time - or even 10? Is there some part of the hardware that seems prone to early failure?
I don't...
I recently installed Samba on my 'Fox and started wondering about the different file transfer protocols available.
For transferring files from the 'Fox to a PC, I can use FTP, or Samba with Windows Explorer. They both seem to work equally well. Do either of them have any particular advantages /...
As usual, apologies if this has been discussed before; a search didn't show anything.
I've a Fox T2 running CF. About half the things it records get FTPed off, edited and put onto my NAS (running Twonky v7) for convenience and to save disk space. To do this, I have to have Content Share on...
I've been having problems recently with the scheduling of various recording via Remote Scheduling, but I think it applies equally to recordings set directly through the Web interface and probably even the SUI.
I had a number of things set to record:
Star Trek: Next Generation on CBS Action at...
I, and other members of the family, sometimes accidentally press one of these "Mode" buttons on the remote. There follows much wailing and complaining that "the Humax has crashed again", because it stops responding to the remote.
Yes, I know the buttons light up to show you if you have the...
I'm one of the "unfortunate" HDR-FOXT2 users who regularly experiences HDCP problems. The symptom is that if the TV is switched on while the Fox is already on, no picture is shown - but restarting the Fox while the TV is left on always fixes it. (Yes, I know it's not the end of the world to have...
I've been having some strange things going on when using Remote Scheduling to set recordings of programs that are on several times over a few days. I'm not sure if it's an RS thing, a native Series Link think, or just my imagination...
When a program is on several times over the course of a...
OK, usual apologies if this has been covered elsewhere before...
I've just bought a new 2TB drive as an upgrade to the 500Gb in my HDR-Fox T2. I'm wondering how best to do the update and preserve my recordings.
It seems from some other threads (which I can't locate right now :) ) that the...
Not a query, or a complaint, or a request for a new feature, just a heartfelt "thank you". :)
I record a lot of stuff from CBBC and cBeebies, and really appreciated the custom EPG on my old Toppy that let you just view all the programs for a single channel rather than the usual grid. Looking...
Hello, I've just got a HDR-FOXT2 after many years of using a Topfield TF5800. Not quite got round to installing Custom Firmware on it yet - will do so in a few days once I am confident it won't quickly fail (like my first one did...)
One thing that leaps out at me as a big backward step from...
