I also had this – on an HDRT2 – wiped all my recording list – I was toast when some things didn’t record!!!

My Humax has just fallen out of guarantee, and I’m getting more and more tempted by the Custom Firmware – but I am a real lightweight when it comes to these things – is it something a relative simpleton to programs and firmware can do or is it a pro thing only?

yes it’s for everybody and turns the box into something very useful, but you can’t go at it like a bull in a china shop.

CF is the only way I know of restoring the recording schedule after an update

Is there a thread I can read up on and see if I think I’m up to doing it?

Is there a way to restore the original firmware if I cock it up?

there’s nothing you can’t fix, you won’t want to restore the original firmware, but you can fairly easily

like with most things easy when you’ve done it at least once.

take a look here:

I’d be amazed if you had any questions that weren’t already answered somewhere on that forum so double/triple check before posting. CF is aimed at getting the most out of the foxT2’s, nothing illegal – it’s all about fixing problems, adding functions/facilites missing from factory firmware such as restoring schedules after a retune etc.
