in EDIT CHANNELS … after deleting a channel … how do you get it back … or is it lost for all time. Or is it only restored by doing an AUTOTUNE of all channels, which of course resets your favourites … so you have to go through them all again.

You could work out which multiplex carries the missing channel and manually tune just that multiplex.

It certainly sounds like the issue is with the coax and/or fittings going into your “new” extension.

I think we need to be told what the signal strength and quality are before going further. If it is signal strength it could be too much signal or too little.

Hi, currently i have a fox t2 box which i have always loved, it not gives a green screen nearly every day when turning it on, i have to switch everything off for a while to usually get it to come back on which usually works eventually.

i have recently done a full wipe and reset but still does it.

So looks like time for a new box?

anyway i was looking at the newer 5000 model but all i see if largly negative things about all the newer boxes, mainly saying how annoyingly slow they are, has there been any fixes for this via fw?

I am still using an HDR-FOX T2 and keeping an eye on new developments. My impression is that the FVP-5000T is now pretty stable and there have been some improvements in the responsiveness of the user interface but there are still complaints about the speed from some people. Do remember that users who are content are less likely to come on Forums. I don’t often need three tuners so I am in no hurry to change although as I get older I do use sub-titles more and the HDR-FOX T2 does suffer from issues with sub-titles getting out of synch which is apparently fixed on the newer models. I think your options are a second hand HDR-FOX T2 to tide you over for a few years until something clearly better emerges, evaluation of the FVP-5000T to see if you could live with it or possibly one of the later Youview boxes such as DTR-T2000.

I got a new aerial as my signal strength is not the best

So what are the signal strengths and quality as reported by the Humax on the multiplexes you can receive?

Pendant mode on DTR T1000 is a YouView unit.

The pedant in me requires me to suggest that you meant “Pedant mode”

I have even tried connecting through a VPN but the app developers block this as many use this option to connect from outside the UK.

I think it is probably caused by the Carrier grade NAT used on 4G networks. Strange that my Smart TV and PC’s apps, and other options such as Roku, function normally though.

I would guess that the key difference between the Smart TV and PC apps compared to the Humax is that they connect direct to the relevant server whereas the Humax works through a gateway server operated by Humax.

Checked the list of reservations and they’ve all been deleted! Anyone know why?

Has the Humax retuned itself which would delete the schedule of recordings?

assuming the restriction is maximum number of files in a directory.

The problem won’t be maximum number of files in a directory (the maximum for a flat file system will be 4,294,967,295).
