I don't like the sound of that.
New HDR-T2 - Software Version 1.03.06
- Thread starter l_ mitchell
- Start date
It doesn't sound plausible to me.

Neither do I. It has happened more than once. I have tried factory resets, manual channel scans and even a re-flash. It has happened once since I did all that, but not for a while.
I suppose that I should start to use the machine more, swap it out with one on my known 'good' units and give it a good thrashing! A picture of John Cleese and a tree branch has just appeared in my head!
It's just a bit of a faff setting it up under the TV.

This may sound silly, but do you think it is possible that the problems some people are having could just be a coincidence or a faulty batch of boxes rather than due to the 'new' firmware? Perhaps even a'bad flash'. Nobody wants one of those...
I think I mentioned before that I have recently experienced a similar issue. Although I had put it down to my fairly recently installed HDD.
Seems to only happen on mine when I switch to a HD channel - and it hasn't happened at all since I turned TSR off. Its hard to say if turning off TSR has definitely fixed it though because it was intermittent before.
I'm just now wondering if this "channel scrambled" issue could be completely unrelated to the new software or hardware as I have neither...

Yes you did. As my problem is so intermittent, I really cannot be sure that it has any relevance to the downgrading of the firmware. I didn't use it in it's original state long enough to notice.
The fault, if it is a fault, could have occurred then too, but the quick 'is it working post-delivery tests' didn't show up any problems. If it had, I would not have downgraded.
My 'problem' could be unrelated to the downgrade issues others have experienced. It just seems very coincidental.
My box certainly isn't 'bricked' and channel scanning works without a hitch. This is different to the problems others have reported.

Thanks for the clarification. I had thought it was being hypothesised that the /RE models were linked to the downgrade failing but I see now that I had misunderstood the earlier posts. The main thing I wanted to be able to do is to get recordings off onto my PC, and I've managed that using foxy now. The custom firmware would make it simpler, but it's not something I'll be doing very often, so I'll just stick with 1.03.06 for now.

Is this the link you meant?

I would expect 4G interference to be more apparent than the reported symptoms.

Although the error message would indicate an issue with the signal I dont think that is the case.
Signal strength usually around 70-80% and quality 100% and if there was an issue with the signal I would not expect a box reset to fix it without fail.
On my box it appears to be a software issue.

Brave man Brian, or is it "well, if it doesn't work I have five others Brian"?
It will be interesting to see how it goes.

Thanks, I called them a couple of weeks ago asking for a filter. They said they hadn't even started the transmissions here yet and certainly wouldn't just 'hand out' filters proactively.

It looked like the home page changes on a frequent basis.
I don't really think that being brave comes into it,
this one is a Humax graded box with old type hardware, albeit with newer firmware and loader. I decided that there was probably a chance that it may not work afterwards, but to me, the CF benefits far outweighed this risk.I installed the standard 1.02.32, then performed a Factory Default setting, followed by a manual tune, finally installing CF 2.19 and my chosen packages.
I currently have No plans to try the same on my HDR-FOX T2/GB/RE box.

Hi,
I Downdated my Graded Old HW unit from 1.03.06 to 1.02.32 and added the CF on the 12th and posted OK (so far) : admittedly I posted in another thread.
My theory was that as it came with the new FW but had the Old HW it would probably be OK to go to an Old FW - I would not have tried it if the unit I received was the New HW model as the issue seems to be the new tuners (probably Silicon as all in one unit rather than the old two unit Can-Type) not being understood by the old 1.02.xx firmwares.

I am trying to remember whether Silicon is more prone to signal overload or more resistant to signal overload. Which is it?

I have a graded GB that I received from Humax about 1 month ago with the latest firmware. I might be willing to give it a go if we were fairly sure it wouldn't be bricked. Wife watches emmerdale and would be pretty annoyed if it went down.
