Tuned Multiplex Information for DVB-T channels missing on one T2 - Solved
Correct, tunefix is installed and carrying out its process - thank you for that package. :) I mainly do manual tuning, in channel order, so 29 is the last mux tuned and as Luke and BH said it will only populate the signal information for that last mux. As the signal data information is not live...- Stummery

Tuned Multiplex Information for DVB-T channels missing on one T2 - Solved
OK, thanks for all your helpful replies. I have carried out an auto retune and all the information is now present. Thank you for the information as to how and when the information is gathered, as it is not live data it is of little use. If I want or need to check in the future I will use the OSD.- Stummery

Tuned Multiplex Information for DVB-T channels missing on one T2 - Solved
The box works without any problems and the EPG shows correctly. If I access the signal information from the OSD it all shows correctly. But I have noticed that on one of my boxes the multiplex signal information for all the DVB-T channels is blank, but the DVB-T2 info is there. . If I expand...- Stummery

What To Do with a Dead or Unwanted HDR-FOX, HD-FOX, or DTR-T1000/1010
I do the same as @everthewatcher and use a timer to turn off the power to my boxes from 1am until 6pm. My main reasoning being that electrolytic capacitors, having a limited working lifespan (The 4.7uF being a case we are aware of), will be the components most likely to fail 1st from power on...- Stummery

HD-FOX "Loses" Hard Drive
So timewise it should still (just) be under warranty ? Do you have any access to how much data has been written to see if it is within the 80TB ?- Stummery

Trialling 'RT3070' Dongles
What channel is your WiFi on ? IIRC the Humax won't connect or show the network name SSID if the channel is set to 4 or below.- Stummery

Updating WiFi Drivers
Agree with BH. To add my experience. I have 4 HDRs that have been using various cheap RT3070 dongles for many years without any problems. Maybe OS is not as good with hardware as they assume :laugh:- Stummery

Start Up Fails When HDD Connected
It would be interesting to discover the outcome if someone who has a unit with this fault could just remove the 4.7uF capacitor and see what happens.- Stummery

Start Up Fails When HDD Connected
Since my previous post I have, in the simulation, placed a variable resistor in parallel with the 4.7uF capacitor and it needs setting to a value of less than 400 ohms before it starts to reduce the output voltage, less than 350 ohms before the output voltage drops below 10 volts and 330 ohms...- Stummery

Start Up Fails When HDD Connected
If anyone is interested and has any thoughts/comments I have copied the circuit in to Proteus simulation software. As expected without the 4.7uF capacitor the switching is more or less instantaneous. I include the oscilloscope traces for switch on and off of the HDD control, that is 5v and 0v...- Stummery

Would anyone recommend using an SSD in place of a standard hard drive for their Humax?
Heres a thought. You are obviously not going to get your questions answered. So why don't you buy and fit one...... then you can answer all your questions and provide valuable feed back to the rest of the forum.- Stummery

RM-F04 remote not working
My HDR Fox T2 has an ATmega 324_PA on the front panel. Checking for IR swamping is a simple process, just move the unit to another location or even make a shield with a cardboard box/tube.- Stummery

RM-F04 remote not working
Correct, that is why the EDS-88A does a low voltage DC resistance test first. As you say capacitors and other components can fail low resistance/short circuit as well.- Stummery

RM-F04 remote not working
I use an EDS-88A CapAnalyzer (from USA) that is designed for in-circuit capacitor ESR testing and uses less than 50 millivolts. As you can see a 47uF ESR at 8 ohms is well into the red part of the chart! So I shall be replacing mine. Edit: Measuring my capacitor value out of circuit reads 26uF...- Stummery

RM-F04 remote not working
You may be correct. I have just checked the circuit, the sensor is powered from the 5v supply via a 100 ohm resistor and decoupled by a 47uF capacitor, if the capacitance value reduced it could cause these symptoms. The fact that aod said "Thinking about it, the remote does seem to have been...- Stummery

In that case you could try fitting a new sensor. They are readily available from Ebay (from £1.30 including post UK seller). You need a VS1838/TL1838 this has the correct pin out.- Stummery
