I've been having a long-running discussion with my sub-editor regarding observations of the word 'assume' (or derivatives), where (classically) the word 'presume' should be preferred. What's the difference? Ignoring complication: 'assume' is something you take upon yourself (assume a role or a position), and 'presume' is to make a guess prior to confirming data ("Dr Livingstone I presume"). How to tell when 'presume' would be appropriate rather than 'assume'? If you can rearrange the... Read more

Hello. One of my Humax HDR-Fox units is rebooting at boot-up process presumably around webif load. It's set NOT to disable packages on crash. I've managed to run a fixdisk (it was found in half-standby after a power cycle during boot). I didn't notice any red flags post fix. It seems to be recording from standby OK. Disk space is getting low. I've has a search but I'm not getting relevant results so could someone inform me or point me to the resolution steps please.

When resetting to manufacturer setup, the tuner wizard only detects one cable instead of two. All cables and connexions from the LNB test out OK. The signal to Input 2 is not detected at all. Can anyone suggest a fix, either in settings or a physical repair? Thank you.

It is fast approaching a year since the major Android/fixes update was first mentioned by Humax. A few weeks ago a not too believable member with a track record of distorting the truth on the other site who has claimed to have high level contacts at Humax including the head honcho said they were told it was being Beta tested but not a single person including Barry has confirmed this to be true so I emailed a guy at Humax who had helped me in the past and had always been honest with his...

I hear Labour are planning to change the 12 days of Christmas to the 12 months of Christmas in an effort to raise the spirits of the nation and reduce self harming and suicide rates which will lower the burden on the NHS so funding can be reduced and used elsewhere.

This is a very simple package designed to remove the need to retune to move channels on to their correct LCNs or to delete them. It does not however support new channel additions (it does now!). The Freeview authorities seem to change things around with increasing regularity, so if you want to stay (reasonably!) current, this might be the package for you. It relies on having tunefix installed and will install it if necessary. It creates a channel update file on installation... Read more

I have been trying to find a way to get ‘ Great! Player ’ app working on TV. The Samsung TV does not give it as an option to add. On PVR is shows as an entry for Chn 63 When you select it advises to ‘Watch Great! player now on Freeview Play connected devices’ The PVR is Freeview recorder /player/ with full tuner. Is there a way to use as a ‘Freeview Play’ connected device.? … don’t know what one of those is.

Has anyone else had this happen ? A member on the other site reported having problems yesterday on ITV2 (ch6) and I noticed More4 (ch18) freezing on every ad break today though the programme plays fine and also ITV2 freezing constantly for ad's and programme, the usual advance and return of the channels to break the freeze only works for a split second then it freezes again. The other person is based in the North whilst I am in the South of England.

Just noticed that ITV2+1 has moved to D3&4 and is now h264/MPEG-4. Also on that multiplex is ITV4+1 which appears to be a full service (also h264/MPEG-4). Meanwhile, back on SDN, ITV3+1 is still MPEG-2 but could be a full service.

I'm at a friend's, with an FVP-4000T (I think that's what the label on the bottom says). It has an RM-L08 remote handset with a FreeviewPlay button on it. Press the "recordings" button and it says there aren't any (she says there should be), but tellingly the screen display seems to say that it has zero capacity to record any. Can anyone suggest how to diagnose? I can't see a settings button on the remote. I've power-cycled it in hope... but that does not seem to have made a difference... Read more
