I have been on the Humax Support but frankly I have no real confidence in what they said as basically it was only to restore the Defaut settings.
It is reverting to the default setting that are the problem in the first place,
The machine seems to decide to re-set itself, losing all the recordings set-up and reverting to a 4:3 display. This has happened twice in the last few days and I really do not want this to happen over the Christmas holidays.
This makes the machine very unreliable indeed. I dont lose what is already recorded by the way.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and have a solution?
It must be their software problem.
Just to manually revert to the box default settings does not seem to be enough!
If we have to leave it on the default settings then that is simply not good enough.
That actually brings me to another Humax problem that they do not seem to understand. Previous set-top boxes of all makes have always been able to switch between screen ratios automatically - except for the Humax. I have it set for 16:9 output but when I switch to a Channel transmitting a 4:3 picture, as Dave for instance often does, it stretches it across the screen so I have to manually change to 4:3 and back again when I change channels. Is there a fix to that that anyone knows of?
Any help would be appreciated on either problem.

Any other aspect ratio settings need to be done by the TV, manually or automatically. Usually widescreen TVs have several settings for this.
The way you connect the Humax to the TV will also affect this.
I will ring them again if.when the problem re-occurs, I have done what they suggested so we will see if it works.
As far as the ratio switching is concerned I have tried a whole range of tv settings without success on two different tvs, an LG and a Panny, with no luck.
I do indeed use an HDMI cable, Good tip I will try the SCART.
many thanks
Weird, maybe not related?!
