Clem Because for them it is a very cheap service to use, and is (despite those who choose not to use it) very widely used by consumers. Its rarely the case that they don't also put info on their own website for those who choose not to subscribe to services like facebook, but in the absence of facebook / twitter etc, what would you prefer them to use which is equally as good at disseminating information to a wide audience?

This thread started as a discussion of failures to record BBC3/4 HD on Humax Freeview recorders, and mine failed on a BBC4 film. I was able to record a programme from BBC4 on the 'Humax Freesat+ with Freetime' later on (I also backed it up in SD on another machine to be on the safe side). So I don't know whether there is actually an ongoing problem with Freesat, but so far they haven't addressed (but have admitted to) the Freeview one. |

I have no interest in Facebook and generally steer clear of companies with such a narrow viewpoint. I do quote whatever is there on fb, realising that not everyone has or wants an account. I use a throwaway email address to join fb. No contacts in it, and anyone I "friend" or who "friend"s me will have exposed theirs already. The fb post today from Humax has been quoted above. Humax do seem to reply more often and more quickly to fb comments. Richard |

I think you do need to rescan as it is a new multiplex rather than a change within the existing multiplexes. I'm a big fan of HD but I know opinions vary on the subject! |

Is this the referenced 'problem'? You have to do a rescan to get it (obviously it won't appear on the older non-HD boxes). The problem is that although once scanned the channel appears, timer recordings from it are liable to fail. This is a bug which apparently Humax know about so hopefully a fix will be forthcoming eventually. |

Paul DS. Unlike SD files, HD files are not decrypted when you copy them to an external drive and thinking back, I wonder if that might have been a requirement for the work round meaning you would need the custom software. As I have the software I didn't bother to remember whether it was needed or not. Have a read of the thread and see what it says. I just copy SD files from my recent Humax to a thumbdrive, and then I watch them on my PC. I don't see any encryption, unless Ubuntu is a more sophisticated OS than I thought. -- Davey. |

I just copy SD files from my recent Humax to a thumbdrive, and then I watch them on my PC. I don't see any encryption, unless Ubuntu is a more sophisticated OS than I thought. The software on the Humax automatically removes the encryption from an SD file as you copy it off, meaning you are at liberty to play it on another Humax box or by any other method you have available to you. This is not so for HD files. HDs remain encrypted when they are copied off the Humax and can therefore not be played on any other device, including another Humax. They can only be played on the Humax that recorded them. The custom software allows you to set an option that causes all HD files to be decrypted as soon as they are recorded or alternatively you can decrypt individual files as and when required. Ah, OK. I didn't know that SD files were encrypted in the first place. Why bother, if they are decrypted when copied to an external device? -- Davey. |

Don't forget that Mux 7 will be on UHF Ch 31 from Taccy, well outside the legacy aerial group C/D (UHF 48-68) so if you don't have a Wideband you may still not be able to receive, or receive terribly well. -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply. |
