I know that Humax have their own Dongle but I thought I would try one which I already have. It’s an Edimax EW-7717Un which works perfectly with my PC.
I have read that some people are using the Edimax EW-7711 series and would have thought the 7717 would work just as well if not better.
I would guess that the issue is that the 7717 probably uses a different chip set to the 7711. The Humax will only work with a single chip set and hence you need to use a dongle that uses the same chip set as the Humax supplied one.

Thanks Gomezz,
I have just taken a look at the Humax User guide and read the section on manual searching???
But how, as a mere user, can I find the details of the information required for over 300 services/channels?
Are there any details eleswhere in this forum?
Digital TV combines the individual channels into groups called multiplexes. You manually tune to a multiplex and typically there are 6 multiplexes per transmitter. You can obtain the data for your locality by going to http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/when_do_i_switch and ticking the “I am in the aerial installation trade” box. This will show you the alternatives. The important thing is to select a set of multiplexes from a single transmitter and manually tune to them. This should results in no channels above 800 (or possibly just one or two); more than one or two above 800 indicates that the manual tune has not worked correctly.

I lost all my recordings on the hard disk when I did the factory re set. I actually had to format the disk as well which is why I lost the recordings.
What was it that made it necessary to format the disk?
Always worth reading the FAQs. See http://myhumax.org/forum/topic/details-of-some-of-the-icons

The downside to all that, is you lose all your recordings in the process.
Do you mean that you lost all previously made recordings or that you lost the schedule of future recordings (which is what I would expect)?

I’m guessing the dongle carries the setup parameters (SSID, WPA key etc)…
What leads you to that conclusion? It seems most unlikely to me.

Skyplayer not available yet.
Is it still expected to be available at some point?
Can I just add that our experience with accurate recording on the HDR has been very good with only one or two problems in six months (which may have been down to user error). It is a significant improvement over the implementation on the 9200T. I would suggest trying first without padding (which is how we use it).

That would get us to a web interface on the HDR. What we’d next need is to run a web app that could read/write to the onboard scheduling database (making the assumption it has one). If that could read from EPG, then all the better. If not – then just insterting dates/times and channels etc would do.
So simplistically and theoretically – it kinda hangs together. Whaddya reckon?
There is work going on along exactly these lines on the terrestrial HDR FOX-T2. Best place to read what has been achieved (they have the web interface) is hummy.tv.

I think the problem I had was with one with the fairly standard Linux scheme of boot, swap, LUKS root & LUKS home.
Having used Unix/Linus for more than 20 years, I have a reasonable understanding of the partition schemes. What you haven’t said is what actual problem you had? My understanding is that the Humax simply overwrites whatever is on the disk with a blank file system so I am struggling to understand why it matters what is present prior to the Humax format. Of course if there was a bad block in a region not used by the previous file system then that could explain the problem.

Is the disc partitioned? I had an issue with one that was,
I have regularly formatted disks in the Humax that have previously been formatted on a PC and I haven’t had any problem. What happened with yours?
