Hi everyone
I've just set myself up with an account so I can get involved and hopefully receive help and support as required.
I've been having a couple of months of issues with my 7 year old DigitalStream PVR after the broadcasters started playing around with the amount of data carried with the EPG (particularly on COM7 & COM8). This seems to be overwhelming the DS machine, and has caused issues to me and other users (corruption to the firmware being the biggest pain, requiring reflash from USB).
The new PVRs don't seem to be up to scratch (Humax FVP-5000T and Panasonic DMR-HWT150 were the contenders). Slow EPG, poor interface, no shortcut buttons, no customisation etc.
I have purchased a barely used 500GB HDR-Fox T2 today and will be looking to add some custom firmware to protect against loss of scheduled recordings etc. Expected delivery mid next week.
Any advice as to which are the essential (top 5) CF for getting the best out of this PVR would be gratefully received. I've looked at the CF list, and it is so long that I would't know where to start !!
I'll be streaming using an Apple TV, the Hummy will only be used for conventional recordings and chase play (and, of course, skipping the ads !!). So I want to be sure of a skip forward/backward capability with options for me to define the skip lengths.
I’ll be using a Harmony remote; hoping Logitech have this Hummy on their database.
Oh... and if it all goes pear shaped I'll blame Graham Thompson!! I've been swayed by his support for this machine.
Thanks
Dave
