Really liking the 'press OK to watch in HD' prompts. A welcome update imo.
The 'STB' and 'TV' buttons on the remote now show an onscreen graphic when pressed.
Some nice improvements on the media side, most notably that I can now correctly see and access the shared folders on my DLNA server from the box, which I'm very pleased about.
Can't say I have noticed. What is new is the pop up that comes up on some future programme teasers. Press OK for more info or to set up a recording or reminder (or something similar).
These are classic symptoms of the disk being corrupted (particulary the time shift buffer file). Repassac reported similar after a power failure. You could try a disk clean up, but in the end the only fix was to format the hard disk.
It's very very unlikely the firmware issue was involved, if it was there would be a shed load of posts reporting the same.
Hi
Thanks for the replies, looks like its going to need a disc reformat. Tried the disc cleanup but still no pause etc. on live tv. Works if recording the channel being watched.
Has anyone yet had the problem of blank screen when using the return button to exit the OSG menus to get back to live tv. Happened 3 times since update, but not everytime. Also anyone tried selecting BBC1 (101) in the EPG then choosing "Watch in HD" from the popup choice menu. Doing this changes the channel to BBC1 HD but instead of showing the programme only the EPG comes back on...annoying. Selecting "Watch now" and not "Watch in HD" from popup menu works fine, the required channel selected comes on and the new banner appears at the bottom to press OK to watch in HD,pressing OK then works fine to change to HD....

PS. Usually I select the HD channels if available, merely reporting the bugs found:)
Grahamlthompson. I have reported exact same problem as Pollensa about screen blanking using the "back" button. This IS a bug in the new firmware update...

Not seen the issue, can you confirm the box you have.
I have a HDR 1000s (the HDR 1010s should be similar).
What you were recording at the time.
The steps you took to produce the issue.
Without this information it is hard to comment.
I have seen a post that indicates a minor change to default settings is responsible.
Hi Graham,
Using a hdr 1000s. Have had same thing happen now when using back button to leave settings menu to return to live tv. ie: screen black , no sound, (no display on front of box). Resolved by then pressing the exit button...also try thiswhen on any channel and BBC showing HD programme
1. Select EPG.
2. Select BBC1 (101)
3. When popup menu shows choose "Watch on HD".
The box will change channel to BBC HD but then show the EPG again, not the programme...stuck in a loop if repeating steps 2 and 3..

Just press 'Exit' and it goes full screen onto the HD channel.
Playing back a recording from Channel 5...
44 mins into playback, screen went blank for several seconds and I was then returned to the Humax menu system showing live TV in the preview window.
The recording I was watching was listed as partially viewed and I just resumed playback and watched the rest.

Goes back to BBC2-HD no issues with picture or sound

press 101 jumps to 101 in epg. No watch in HD prompt
Am I doing something different to you ? If not need to compare settings.
Try going into STB mode and adding channels from a User Defined search. Then try and do another one after that.
I get no options, just a blank screen.
I haven't added any channels in non-freesat. Trying to access KOS to pick a couple of transponders to see if I can reproduce the issue. Site appears to be down, I will try later.

To get the "Watch in HD" option a HD program has to be showing and you have to select BBC1 in EPG to actually watch. Then in the following options menu it should be there . Try then. The blank screen problem is intermittent.Not sure but I think it is liable to happen when exiting from recordings if there is no small inscreen display or it is blank if there is one.

It should be sometime around after 10am.
Yep it's available now

So far so good.
Anybody else seen the above yet ?
I have
Yes, one just popped up during a trail for Sherlock.
I must admit I wasn't expecting it to be so big, but it's definitely a good addition.
Thanks, I must have missed them.
The one that comes up once and goes away is fine. Unfortunately there is a version that flashes on and off like a stroboscope ( I hate this one)
The mind boggles
Maybe unlocks new features to trial

As bugs go it's very, very minor imo. Probably better off just dropping an email to Humax so they're aware.
