Humax HDR-FOX T2

David | April 24, 2011

I have just purchased a Humax HDR-FOX T2 as an upgrade to my trusty old PVR-9200, after my area was enabled for Freeview HD. What follows is a tiny review based on my experiences.

O2 iPhone (iOS4) provisioning bug

David | July 10, 2010

I finally upgraded my old iPhone 3GS to iOS4, but it wasn’t a smooth process. It seems O2 have a problem with their provisioning process because, after the upgrade, all of the carrier settings had disappeared. There was no way to setup Visual Voicemail in the menu and no internet services worked when I wasn’t on wifi.

Every time the phone was plugged into the computer iTunes would say that there was an update for the carrier settings, but it never applied and the menu entries remained blank. O2 support were only slightly helpful, taking me through the settings which appear on their website but not fixing the Visual Voicemail issues or the prompt in iTunes.

There are threads on the O2 site here and here and a useful one on AVForums which gives the fix.

Unfortunately the fix is to completely reset the iPhone and start from scratch. Restoring from a backup simply brings the old (broken) settings back. I couldn’t find a way to only synchronise contacts back to the phone, though iTunes suggests it is possible.

Follow these steps to repair it:

  1. erase the phone from the menu: Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings
  2. connect the phone to iTunes and restore iOS4
  3. set the device up as a new phone, not from a backup!

Browsing through the carrier settings menu should now show the correct values for APN (idata.o2.co.uk). Importantly, the Visual Voicemail settings should also be in the menu.

Now to setup all my apps, account sand contacts from scratch..

Production music samples

David | June 6, 2010

Whilst looking for some music to use as jingles/beds for a charity radio project I assist I found FreeNotesMusic. From a quick listen there are some fantastic tracks, really nice composition and production.

Big thanks go to Simon from the company who responded to my queries very quickly.

New site

David | June 12, 2009

It has only taken me four years but I have finally got round to updating this site.  My intention is to keep it recent, time allowing, with whatever I am currently working on.

Some of the more popular old content has been moved over, old links should work. Older content which was not often visited has been purged. If there is something you want from the old site, please email me.
