The link Graham posted is no longer valid because CFW v4.1.3 introduced a web interface password removal script already embedded within the custom firmware.
From a telnet session simply enter ‘pass-disable’ to restore unsecured access to the web interface.

AD works slightly differently to Freesat on HD channels. On freesat the AD track is a separate audio track to the main Dolby Digital audio. On Freeview-HD the AD data is embedded in the same audio track (It uses aac audio that is capable of including AD in the same data0
Are you sure about that Graham ?
AFAIK with Freeview HD and SD transmissions, the AD audio is still contained in a separate stream to the main audio stream. Only difference to Freesat is that both streams are in AAC format. Main audio uses AAC, whereas AD uses HE-AAC, which is only suitable for lower bit rates.
Try swapping round your Foxsat HDR’s. If the problem still prevails with the Panny then it’s definitely the TV at fault.
User Access Control on the mongoose server depended on two things. Firstly, it needed the presence of user/password file /opt/etc/.htpasswd, and secondly ir required two additional entries in the mongoose configuration file /opt/etc/mongoose.conf
These are :
authentication_domain Foxsat-HDR
global_passwords_file /opt/etc/.htpasswd
Without these additional entries mongoose would not prompt for a username and password, even if the .htpasswd file existed.
All that the lighttpd server requires is the existence of the .htpasswd file to enable UAC. I suspect that was what happened in your case, although I’m at a loss to explain how that situation could arise considering you have never set a password.
The 401 error is the standard ‘Unauthorized’ error you get when entering empty user name or password fields.
Anyway, if you still want unrestricted access to your HDR then you can either remove the user you created via the Settings page, or simply delete the /opt/etc/.htpasswd file. Either way you will need to restart to pick up the changes.
lighttpd does not require a user to be set up. Where did you get that impression from ? If a user is already set up then it will be maintained but it’s certainly not a pre-requisite.
No, nothing special. You just need to ensure that your script spawns a background task to do the waiting so as not to interfere with the regular boot process. Something like this should do.
Code:#!/bin/sh
(
sleep 60
killall udhcpc
) &Sorry, you can’t rename it because the root filesystem is in read-only firmware. However, you could create a startup script that just kills the udhcpc process after a short delay (say 60 seconds after boot). I can help you with this if you’re not sure how to proceed.
You could always kill the udhcpc daemon (killall udhcpc) seeing as you don’t need it. Settop always starts this process regardless of whether you have a static IP or not.

Are the files encrypted by any chance?
If it’s HD then it certainly looks like it. Try an SD recording instead, they are all unencrypted.
This sounds like the exact same problem as was experienced on the Foxsat HDR when the Olympic HD channels were added last year. The ts files were being created but zero length nts files resulted in the box reporting recordings of less 30 seconds. This was resolved with a firmware fix from Humax.
