Humax
On a for a while
HDR Fox T2
Greetings All
I've had this box for 3 plus years now.
It has the currently available software updates
At short but variable intervals it stops (ceases to display transmission) whilst watching 'live' transmission.
Displays the black screen with HUMAX
It remains 'on', IE the blue indicator
The drive gives a brief whirr
The box displays 'START SYSTEM'
On occasions it briefly flashes the green 'screen of death' before behaving normally again for a matter of minutes or less
The whole failure cycle starts again. As I write however, it has behaved itself for a while now........20 minutes plus!
It will also display the same symptoms on playback and whilst in record mode.
Any help or advice most welcome.
I am assuming it may be an intermittent failure of the hard drive. BTW, do these use standard PC IDE type hard drives......I have about 8 of those knocking about in various capacities.
Many thanks in anticipation
John
