I always leave my hdr fox t2 on 24/7 so that I can rewind 2hrs if necessary.
OTA happens every 6 months or so, channel line up - there's a big one coming in September, last one I can't remember.
Exactly what other housekeeping procedures go on when left in standby?
Sorry if this sounds abrupt. but I really do want to know what housekeeping procedures happen overnight when left in standby as this just sounds like an excuse, sweeping stuff under the carpet and it's not addressing the real problem.
Also do we really think that the above problems have anything to do with not putting the box into standby overnight? My box is never in standby and I've never had any problems as listed above, however the automatic hdmi handshaking on the hdr and hd fox t2 is a nightmare.
My other equipment here can be set to a distinct resolution and the display will pick it up. The humax, on the other hand, decides itself what it thinks is connected regardless of what I know is connected so sometimes I get 576i or a blank screen.
My ps3, western digital, philips and even the foxsat work perfectly with handshaking. Humax have changed something with the hdr and hd fox t2 with regard to hdmi handshaking, what would be good is if they came clean as to what they've done, so as at least we knew what and why, even better would be that they fixed it!
The elephant in the room seems to be hdmi handshaking, we're told that resolution can be set at initial install, however the hdr/hd fox t2 takes no notice of this and re-negotiates every time. In my case the humax doesn't work properly with my dell or toshiba display, however a edid/cec synchroniser fixes the problem which makes a mockery of hdcp.
There is a problem with hdmi on the hdr and hd fox t2
It would be nice if humax came clean about it.
