Collation of data from non-lock up Humaxs

Hi

Am I one one of the fortunate few who has never had a lock up of their 9200T (hope I'm not tempting fate!) I thought it might be useful information to start a thread to collate data from those of us who have had no (or have only had very rare instances of) lock ups to see if there may be other factors other than software causing problems. Therefore, my set up is:

Software Version PGXTF 1.00.00 (original version)
Transmitter: Ridge Hill
Signal Strength: 81%
Plugged into standard surge protector (on basis that I wouldn't want to expose my PC to power spikes, so why should I treat the 9200 any differently)
Good quality RCG Scart cable

Is anyone else interested in supplying this sort of info. (Please note this is only for those of you having no or who had had virtually no lock ups. There is a separate thread for those experiencing regular lock up problems)

    Hi

    Thanks for the feedback so far. I would also be useful if users could state whether they use surge protectors or different SCART leads etc., to that provided, on the basis that perhaps some lockups could be due to "unclean" power lines or problem cables giving problem/inconsistent signal.

    Thanks

    Using the box mainly as I would a VCR, I have had no lock ups in 4 months, but have had HDD errors a handful of times (poor reception conditions?)
    My software version is 1.00.00.
    Transmitter : Bilsdale
    Signal strength 50%, Quality 100% all using original leads.

    No lock ups since early January (did get a couple in first week when trying all the features) Have been running beta 3 for past 4 weeks without a crash. Signal comes from Crysal Palace, strengh about 70% with 100% quality. USB transfers from PVR to PC are Ok but slow, though one recent file was corrupted and had to be copied again.
