My HDR Fox T2 1TB has a hardware fault on which I’d welcome advice.
After about 6 minutes the signal vanishes on all channels and a “The receiver is not receiving a signal or the signal is too weak” message comes up. The only way to get the signal back is to switch off from the back and wait about 5 minutes before turning on. The signal will also come back if the unit is switched off using the remote and you wait 5 minutes after the disk drive clicks off before switching on again.
The problem occurs both when recording from standby and when watching a channel.
There is nothing wrong with the aerial leads as another Humax box I have works fine with the same leads, as does the TV. I’ve tried different OS versions, standard and custom, and it makes no difference.
As it affects both tuners I’m assuming there’s a fault in an aerial pre-amp in the HDR but as I don’t know the internal layout of the unit I can’t be sure. Presumably it’s heat related: hence the need to wait 5 minutes before switching on again to get the signal back.
Does anyone have any experience of this problem? Can you suggest what part might be at fault and where one might obtain a replacement part? Does anyone have a link to the HDR’s internal wiring diagram?
Thanks for any help.
