New Firmware for Friday 4 February 2011

[Mr Lazy]

Mr Lazy & ThatMartinChap, Thanks a lot. Now downloaded, and first on my list of things to do when I get home!

Remember to rename the file to "hdr_fox_t2.upgrade.hdf"

 

[Mr Lazy]

And how long does it take to copy and paste the release notes? Surely they are pre-prepared.

ftp is ok in IE, but I can't get it going in FireFTP

[mihaid]

Tantalisingly mine is on 99 and because of the gales my aerial is shaking a lot. What happens if I exit out. will I brick it? it just won't go to 100.

No, and it never will with files transferred via FTP. Humax say FTP is for archive purposes only.
On the HDR T2 all video, both SD and HD, is encrypted as it is recorded onto the internal hard disk. SD files later copied from the hard disk to USB are decrypted on the fly as they are transferred.

No, streamed only, but that's all I was expecting,don't believe anyone at Humax has suggested D/L would be available.

I asked during the beta and they said that they were at or near the limit of the cache allowed by the BBC

 

[Sandholme]

Can you copy onto it even if you can't see anything to copy off?

Yes

 

[keytouch]

Does anyone know if all timers are lost if you do the memory stick upgrade?

No they are not lost.

 

[MrPloppy]

I don't know, but can I also ask something related - does this update mean that I can now safely rescan channels without losing my timers?

I'll second filezilla, It's what I used to transfer all my audio onto the T2. I put it there instead of accesing it over the network as the UI is 10x faster on the local drive.

 

[adrenalize]

First impressions - the portal is very slow - but at least the iplayer video seems OK when it gets going!

The audio on the HD channels seems to be back to the lower levels - probably to fix the clipping/breakup issue!

So it's BBC who won't let them d/l to disk? Seems a bit odd when you can do it in the desktop iPlayer

Really annoying.... I thought that this would allow the ability to stream/ transfer to the PC for Archive.... but it appears not.......
I understand the HD content.... but i record a whole load of SD stuff to keep me amused wile away on business trips...... and it looks like i still have to do the USB drive attach method.......

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[parish]

Hmm, the Back button only works for switching back to the previous channel if you change channel by either using the Prog Up/Down buttons or the numeric buttons. If you switch using the EPG then it doesn't work. A bug surely?

You should be able to run them through ProjectX and a muxer to convert them to .mpg files, and from there to any format you want. I'm going to give it a go and will post the results..
