The dongle I referred to earlier has arrived and installed without any trouble. Fingers crossed it stops the freezes.

I'm tempted to give a dongle a go. Is...

Thanks, I'll have a look at the link again and see what happens. The boxes are connected to my home network through homeplugs. Nothing else on the network shows any issues.

I've tried! If I was to give up on them I would seriously miss the CF, but that would be set against knowing(?) that I would get my recordings. The 'main' box has a new 2TB drive, boots into BBC One HD and I can't remove the Ethernet as that would prevent remote scheduling. Any thoughts on...

We have three 6.5+ year old Fox T2s which are increasingly unreliable with them freezing on a regular basis. The switches on their rears are well used and the annoyance of finding many missed recordings while we have been away is real. The customised firmware is the only reason we have stuck...

I've followed the suggestions in the link above (thanks) but am still seeing problems. The most recent has been several instances of the box freezing and 'Invalid Format' being dislayed on my LG 55B7V. I'm rapidly losing faith in the box.

The hard drive is at 36 now with a worst of 40 (I installed the fan package some time after the hard drive). Is there another temperature source?

When I installed the new 2TB drive. Ambient recently has been high, and is set to be high again, but at least it's as cool as I can get it.

Thanks, I'll work my way through the contents of the link. Hopeully,temperature should not be an issue as I have the Fan package installed and the fan running flat out.

Anyone any thoughts on why the picture has started to freeze on my Fox T2 with the sound continuing similar to how it is in maintenance mode? The box eventually reboots. I'm running the customised firmware and I installed a new 2TB drive recently which is not showing any errors.

And I'm grateful for the help, though a little disappointed at the negatives surrounding how I described the problem. I had tried very hard to provide what I thought was a complete picture but missed just the one aspect which didn't cross my mind as other devices on the homeplug in question were...

With where the router and various boxes are in this house there's no way I can run cables. A reinstall was the first thing I thought of after resetting the IP address was down to the possibility of it being corrupted after the various crashes and hangs. With more knowledge and experince...

I was concentrating on the box which had been playing up. I was concerned that, after replacing the hard drive, there was a different fault. A 'physical' network error had not crossed my mind, especially as the homeplugs haven't missed a beat since I installed them 12 months ago.

I had made a point of trying to include everything that I thought was relevant but my mind was on the box itself after I had replaced the hard drive following more than a few hangs.

Five homeplugs reset and re-paired, and all the boxes are now reconnected. Thanks for the help: much appreciated!
