It also wouldn’t technically be a fix, as it wasn’t broken.
It was not advertised as being able to support >1TB discs or sold with >1TB discs. So that would be an additional feature.

It would be a fix as there is no support on the Humax (at least up to 1.02.32) for formatting drives bigger than 1TB (yes I know it can be done on a PC or using the custom firmware).
I think the point Chris is making is that you only fix ‘problems’ and only being able to format up to 1TB would not be seen as a problem to Humax unless they sold a unit with a HDD bigger than 1TB, or advertised support for External drives bigger than this, which they don’t

I am sorry but I make my living writing software and in my world (which may well be a different one to everybody else), I fix things that don’t work as well as they could. 2TB would fit perfectly into this category. Anyway it is semantics and I don’t think it will be what Barry has hinted at. Do the IPTV channels works at 1.03.06?
See post 63, Barry has already said the mystery fix is not IPTV.
Barry: any sort of rough ETA yet or hint as to what the fix is to put us out of our misery? Lol

Large hard discs supported is my guess at the new feature no-one has noticed. The current limits of 1TB and only MBR discs are going to be very tiresome soon, and Humax have to find discs to put into product as well as issues around external drives.
A user on the hummy.tv forum is reporting that he fitted a 2TB drive to a HDR-Fox T2 running 1.03.06 and successfully got the Humax to format it, so I think you are on to something
Of course 2TB isn’t that hard as someone previous observed, since it still fits on an MBR disc using 512 byte sectors and it doesn’t need updates to the Linux kernel that Humax are using. But still, worthwhile.
