What To Do with a Dead or Unwanted HDR-FOX, HD-FOX, or DTR-T1000/1010

will post if postage paid in advance.

Anyone wanting these can forward a pre-paid postage label

2x HDR-FoxT2's, free for pickup near Plymouth or will post if postage paid in advance. Both with remote controls and custom firmware loaded. One with upgraded 2TB drive, one with original. Both are in good condition and were working fine when last used, one about two years ago, the other probably six years ago. Have moved to a Pi+TVHeadend+VideoReDo+Emby setup for recordings and can't see myself using the Humaxs again. No guarantees or returns, but will check that they still turn on and receive signal / display picture if any interest.

Many thanks for doing that. Would you be willing to pass on to me the 2TB one with a fully working remote (mine is broken)? I am south of Edinburgh, so I would need postage, unfortunately.

Is this a forum rule, or a helpful suggestion?

As far as I know it is just a helpful suggestion. I think you can negotiate any arrangement for delivery with the person offering the box.

If this is the case, happy to negotiate something that works for @florca.

Are discussions meant to be public on this thread?

You can use private conversations, but it would be helpful if the donor/seller would update this thread to say that it has gone.

I will not be a nuisance: if @florca is happy to post, it should be their choice (and my pleasure) to PM me.

Hi - will move to PM and post here when it's gone.

The upgraded (2TB drive) Humax HDR has now gone. The other one still available..

Both Humax's have now gone.

@florca was great to deal with. I look forward to using his Humax to replace mine over the holiday season.

The DTR-1000 is mentioned as a source of parts, except for the main board.

However, the main board appears to be a potential source of replacement I/O modules/connectors for the FOXes. Has anyone tried to reuse these parts, like the HDMI/ethernet connector, or particularly the tuner module (Antenna In-over-Out vertical style)?

An attempt to transplant a tuner can was unsuccessful, but that does not make it impossible (possibly the fault was in the tuner chips rather than the can). Connectors might be useful for adapters – I don't recall any reported faulty and in need of replacement.
