I have got to a point where rather than having the Hummy on all the time I am away, having it in standby seems to reduce the likelihood of a lockup while it is unattended. It does mean that it will only pickup new programming instructions when it wakes up to do a recording, but I've come to the conclusion this is better than worrying about it possibly locking up.
Perhaps a final post when you get back from holiday?
You could open access up via the router - but that would open up a can of worms around security so probably not worth pursuing
Thinking about it would probably be better done in an init.d routine then it would only force awake at boot time and wouldn't potentially prevent a shutdown attempt
I've never seen any such option on a domestic router. What you would call port-forwarding doesn't apply to ICMP (Ping) as there are no ports. That's a UDP/TCP thing.
Yes, possibly worth continuing in another thread.
Certainly will, there are breaks between the matches ...
