With the reset you'll get a 'Format disc' option - you need to say 'Yes' to that.
No! I'm talking about re-configuring the control channel the handset operates on. That has nothing to do with factory resets. If unit A is operating on channel 1, and unit B is operating on (say) channel 5, then if all the handsets are on channel 1 they will only operate unit A and not unit B. Swapping front panels would then have no effect.
No folders? Really? That's absurb! Lack of folders is an absolute deal breaker for me. How on earth can you organise the contents of the hard disc without folders? Even when only used for time shifting I find it invaluable to have each series in its own folder, and if anything ends up in the wrong place be able to move it there.
They are the default sort tabs, there is no provision for folders.
I'm not sure I understand the distinction, the picture appears to show folders for Little Britain and Family Guy.
(I'm surprised they are still allowed the skip forward function actually.)If I'd found this thread sooner I would have made you an offer for the remote controls, several in my group of supported users are giving trouble on the OK button. I'm putting off repairing them as long as possible because cleaning them looks like a nightmare with no guarantee of success.
I have stuff on my HDR Fox T2 that was not recorded on it in the first place, but of the three playback devices I have it works the best. All downloaded over FTP and put in appropriate folders.Our Humax Freesat 1010 is like this. It creates 'folders' for series recordings but there is no provision to create your own or even move stuff around (I think - need to check that).
I suspect it's part of the broadcaster standard that they have to agree to and is to discourage people from hoarding programmes like films. Year old adverts probably aren't going to sell much
I did clean the original, was fairly straight forwar, but made very little difference, invested in a cheap replacemnt from Amazon, that worked fine, but was quite flimsy, in the end we bought a new orignal Humax remote, that worked fine till the box packed in, bought a used box wch was ok for a while then that started with problems, i gave up and bought the Manhattan . Sorry you missed the remote controls.
The conductive pads on the back of each button have one of two problems, they either have stopped conducting because they are covered in in a foreign substance (eg. tea, coffee etc.) in which case cleaning is the answer or they have stopped conducting because they no longer conduct so to speak, in this case cleaning won't do anything, the pads either need replacing with something that conducts or painting with conductive paint, I have made a Wiki page here :-
I read that page some years ago, and that is what made me decide to leave the remotes alone until they become intolerable. Disassembly seems difficult, and the overall chances of repairing the remotes seem less than 50%.
No tea etc spills on these remotes.
of our boxes and remotes failing is going to get higher and higher.
