Also the lagging menu was due to the remote control.
Agreed totally.
Also the lagging menu was due to the remote control.
Will a universal remote work with the hubstation?

Overall, the new Hubstation HD box solved all the problems but still sucks on the remote control issue.
you should change to a new model and try.
i believe most of the old hubstation hd users don't want to lose all the recordings.
unless it's proven that new model don't have crash issue.
but if the crash is due to firmware bugs... then changing new model won't solve it.
unless it's caused by low memory, then upgrade to new model may be more stable.
Hi All,
I really need your help. My Starhub HD STB was just delivered, but after plugging in all the cables, there are still 2 main problems:
1. The picture is only in black and white. I have called up tech support and I have:
(a) unplugged/replugged all the cables;
(b) unscrewed/re-screwed the main cable from the cable point
(c) tried using the red/blue/green cable instead of the yellow/white/red cable
(d) restarted tv and STB countless times
It is definitely not my TV as MIO works fine
2. Since the component cables did not work, I tried the HDMI cable. However, my Samsung TV could not detect the Starhub STB.
- my MIO is connected by HDMI so I know it is not my TV. I have also tried plugging the HDMI cable into a different port, but it still does not work.
Anyone has any suggestions? The Starhub technician is coming over tomorrow, but I want to ensure that I have not missed out anything obvious because there is a transport charge ($50+) if it is not their hardware or network problem.
Thanks so much in advance
Hmm, my remote suddenly cocked up 1-2 days ago. It can still operate my TV, but the starhub mode is not responding. Cannot turn on, cannot turn off, cannot do anything.
I thought the battery ran out and after replacing it, nothing.
Just now after buying lunch i managed to turn on the set-top with the remote. I thought that was hope! But after that nothing happened.
First time after 2 years. So very weird. Is it my set top or the remote?
After faithfully serving me for 1.5 years, my Hubstation HD (model DC182SHB)recently started giving me very some strange problems.
After powering on, the set will go through its boot up cycle (the time display goes from blank to UK time to spore time) and the screen will show 'loading .. pls wait' before disappearing. The channel will not load and the screen remains blank.
If you try pressing a channel, sometimes the info bar will show up and sometimes it will not. Sometimes after leaving the set for a while, and switching off and on the TV, the set will be alive and work perfectly. But it doesn't always happen.
No matter how many times you try to reboot the set, the channels dun always load properly. It the strangest problem I ever encountered with the set because when you managed to get the set working, it works properly including your recording and playback.
I'm still contemplating whether I should change the set cos its a hassle and I would prefer not to lost some of the shows I recorded but has not seen. In fact, on more than a few occasions I was on the verge of unplugging and making my way to the Starhub Service Centre when it become operational and I changed my mind.
Anyone else has the same problems with their HS HD? I doubt it the problem just seems so strange.
Good question. I think the best way to think of this VAS is Hubstation-Lite.
I think if you are unable to record one show and watch another channel, then its pointless to subscribe to this VAS, so I'm assuming that its possible. Maybe the HD interactive box already has dual tuner capability out-of-the-box; but that just my assumption. So maybe those who are thinking of subscribing better make sure.
As for transferability of recorded shows, I won't keep my hope up too much. I remember a brave bro here once try to disect the 1st generation Hubstation and concluded that it was not possible to extract the recorded show. So I'm guessing that there will be some protection for the shows recorded. However, if the show is on yr HDD and yr interactive HD set go dead, maybe the recorded show can still be accessed from another new HD interactive set.
I finally run of my patience and decided to forgo all my recorded shows and went to swap a new Hubstation set. Its the new model DC1804SB, the slimmer model with an external power supply. Both USBs has been de-powered which means I can't use my laptop cooler for the set any more.
