Just purchased a Humax 2tune (HDR-3000T). We live in a fringe reception area, in Albion Park, NSW, under the escarpment so we have to point our antenna to Broker's Nose Wollongong which is 27km away. My previous Humax (7500T, but now giving problems) worked well with almost no breakup of HD channels, and our TV tuner works even better - no breakup at all on HD. But the 2tune doesn't cope, with frequent pauses in the video and audio. It makes watching the tennis on 7mate a joke ... the ball is hit at one end and suddenly appears at the other end!

Anyone else seeing reception problems on the 2tune in fringe areas? I have an amplifier on the antenna, and I feed the antenna cable into the 2tune and then out to the TV, so the TV is getting the same signal. Signal strength status shows 84% strength and 100% quality.

I happened to touch the top of my 7500T on the weekend and noticed it was quite hot. I could see the fan was not working, but the fan itself is okay because I unplugged it and applied 12V and it spun. Is the fan meant to be on all the time when the unit is powered up? If so, I'm guessing something on the main board is not turning it on. Apart from that everything seems to be working okay. Any thoughts?

Just noticed on the Humax website there is a new firmware version 1.08.06 for model HDR-7500T/V (version 1.08.05 is for model HDR-7500T).

Version 1.08.06 provides following benefits
- Enable recorded content decrypt copy to usb
- Resolved Quickflix DRM & whole play error
- Resolved IP-OTA function Error (If IP-OTA is failed, retry it again. You can resolve the problem)

Edit: fixed description about version numbers (thanks Dave)
