However there might be a way to get the HDR-FOX-T2 to record from your cable setup (assuming this has HDMI out).

It’s not cheap but might work for you.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edision-HDMI-Modulator-Full-Distribution-Black/dp/B00KBXKJ2A

This requires a HDMI splitter and produces a single DVB-T Full-HD channel using the UHF channel of your choice. The HDR-FOX-T2 should be able to manually tune this single channel Mux and therefore record it using manually set timers. If you try it make sure you buy from someone like Amazon so you can return it if it fails to work. Perhaps a member here might have tried something like this. As it not’s a Freeview generated channel it should be free of the copy restrictions and the encryption enforced by the Freesat epg. This would mean you should be able to view these recordings on a home network on anything with a DLNA client.

Just to add to Graham’s point, I’ve tried one of these HDMI modulators with my HDR-T2 and both a Virgin cable box and a Fire TV. Whilst it works in that it records the output on the created DVB-T2 channel, the file size is much greater than on a Broadcast channel so some extra processing may be necessary to manage hard disk space.

Edit: this is the one I tried https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technomate-TM-RF-HD-HDMI-Modulator-Black/dp/B01HOZKVFW/ref=pd_sim_23_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TH8CCX9E79WCQ4Q2EQKK which is slightly cheaper than the one Graham linked to, and I notice there is now a newer version.

If you want to get the files off the 9200t all the software is available from the FAQs (link).

Media elinker is the Humax software but is slow. Better to attach the drive to the PC and use humaxrw (with the GUI if the command line would challenge you) and copy the recordings to your PC or an external drive. You only need the .ts files so you can select that otion within humaxrwGUI. They will be playable by VLC or similar on the PC or is using an external drive then should be playable by the 4000T.

I’ve uploaded a copy to the FAQ here

https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/humaxrw-gui-front-end-1

With acknowledgement to Astronomy of hummy.tv

Media controller was always flaky and slow which is why humaxrw (and hummyreadfiles)was written.

You need to be running humaxrw as administrator if you are using Windows 7 or later. To get the administrator command prompt you press start, type cmd and right click the cmd.exe that shows and select “Run as Administrator”

There is a graphical front end written by Astronomy over on hummy.tv but the original link I have for it is broken. It should auto select the correct drive for you.

One other point – I hope you did not allow windows to initialise the drive

Don’t use a harmony myself (have OFA Xsight) but a good resource for remote codes is hifi-remote forums or you could check out Remote Central

I’m only familiar with programming the OFA remotes though.

My OH has just received a Hub 6 to replace a Hub 3 So I guess that’s the latest.

I don’t know what it is about BT hubs but they seem to cause more problems than other makes in sustaining a connection.

Unfortunately due to the broadcasters not setting the correct id for the film. Best practice is to mark the first part and extend the end time past the end of the film.
