If they are not connected, it's not the same iptv issue we have seen previously.
The low signal quality or just low signal in General could cause a crash as I have experienced this before myself.
If your crashes were happening when the signal was fine and internet disconnected though, then that points it back to being a Humax/RT issue. However, nobody else has reported the same issue as yet..
Thanks chris
OK If there needs to be a network connection for that fault then that isnt what I have here. (Unless a simple net configuration of the box without actual connection caused that issue? Was that ruled out?)
Anyway
If low signal or low quality can cause a crash that is a serious design fault. Doubly so in a device that uses a permanently active writing hard drive.
Thinking back I'd never even heard of one of these boxes "crashing" until the 1.3.x family firmware was released.
Mine certainly hadn't which is why I didnt like it in the first place.
The fact that no one else is reporting it here is disturbing - not because it makes it a local issue - if it was I could fix it - but because:
1. It has been seen on 5 different boxes.
2. I can put 1.3.xx firmware on my currently running 1.2.32 box and it causes the issue every time
(edit: Just for total clarity : When I put 1.2.32 back on that box it stops happening)
3. The fault was hard on the other 4 boxes and the new one I have now
4. All I have to do to cause it is switch to ch85 in every case and wait 2 minutes
5. My 1.2.32 box is on the same aerial sharing a splitter (swapping sockets makes no difference)
6. removing the splitter and having a single connection doesnt cure it.
7. The signal on that mux now seems permanently rubbish but the above comments are still accurate.
8. And because of the specific channel causing it on every single occasion
If you can suggest something I missed please do. I've wasted a lot of time
on this.
