Last evening I recorded a couple of programs and was then watching normal TV (with HDR-Fox turned on) when the Fox stopped working. It sat with the blue lighted on/off button but would not do anything via the remote and would not switch off via the front button. I have been running it on CF v3.00 since buying this refurbished item from Humax about 2 years ago. I'm not a computer geek and only access this (or other forums) when I have a problem. When I retired last night I switched the Fox off via the switch at the back.
I turned it on this morning and all seemed OK. So I decided it was time to un-encrypt the HD programs I wanted to keep and copy them to an external HDD (connected via a USB socket at the back). I set the programs to Recursive Auto-decrypt and copied them to the external HDD via the Foxes remote. It all copied OK and I was able to play the copied files on the TV.
However, in the past, I have been able to log onto my Hummy via my home network and view recorded programs on my laptop but when I try now, I get this screen:
Mouse click on the play button achieves nothing. So I have some more questions:
1) Should I update my CF to 3.10?
2) Is the stop last evening a precursor to this Hummy dying?
3) Is this failure to play a program on my laptop normal?
4) should I be able to see the Hummy HDD and its attached USB connected HDD over my network?
On this last - I have a WDMyworld NAS which, when I did a recommended firmware update, removed my ability to see the drives or folders in Windows Explorer. I reversed the update but still needed to do more to my Register and settings and was able partially to restore matters but now still - it is invisible on my Network, only some folders are visible under "Computer". Maybe this affects my HDR-Fox also ??
EDIT: On second thoughts, using the WebIf gives me access to the programs stored on the Hummy HDD so what's going on ??????
Advice appreciated, thanks.
