Getting Help / Re: EPG Problem
Last post by Aardvark - May 30, 2024, 07:08:48 PMThis EPG problem is getting to be a real pain. I've lost ABC HD and now virtually all from SBS channels. Because there is nothing in TVHeadend then it is impossible to schedule anything manually.
Any advice on how to debug/fix this?

Last post by IanL-S - May 30, 2024, 04:32:26 PMQuote from: raymondjpg on May 30, 2024, 03:34:47 PMNot so much new as rebranded from what I can make out. I'd be more impressed if they announced a new HD channel and content to show on it! Around here ABC can only manage one HD channel. SBS carries three.

Agreed. MPEG2 is so 2010; h.264 (used for HD transmissions) is a much more efficient codec. Time to retire MPEG2, and fully embrace h.264. Even at 720p and low bit rate, as used by 7Flix in Melbourne, it is quite acceptable.

At least ABC iview offers a reasonably decent bitrate for 720p compared to SBS On Demand, whose 720p bitrates are quite frankly atrocious for a publicly funded broadcaster.

Humax / Re: HDR-7500T booting problem ...
Last post by nedsnow - May 28, 2024, 11:15:27 AMI don't know if anyone is looking at this, but I think I've answered my own question. Further research has indicated that this problem is caused by a failed electrolytic capacitor in the 12V HDD power supply. This causes the Humax to detect a faulty power rail and reboot when the disk is powered up. This explains why the SSD and the 2.5in HDD worked, while 3.5in drives didn't, as those form factors only use the 5V supply. For the moment, I'll use these two disks to keep the boxes going until something else fails :-(

Humax / Re: HDR-7500T booting problem ...
Last post by nedsnow - May 27, 2024, 10:33:04 AMHi GregM
I have two HDR7500Ts with EXACTLY this problem. When the first one failed, I assumed that the fact it would boot with the HDD disconnected probably meant a fault in the disk controller. When the second one failed, I found your post in a Google search, and immediately tested it. I plugged my original IceBox SDD in, and the Humax booted as you described. I bought two brand new WD 1TB drives, but neither one fixes the problem. I plugged in a 1TB 2.5in drive from an old laptop, and it worked fine. I then tried copying the first GB of the 2.5in drive to one of the new drives using dd, but it still wouldn't accept it. Do you have any idea what's stopping the Humax from accepting these new drives? They work fine on my computer via a USB case.
