Having bought foxsat hdr a couple of months the setup went smoothly excepting that the Manual wasn't a patch on the 9200.However I was about to go on holiday so I set up a schedule of programs which I wanted recorded before I left. On my return I found that it had not recorded Larkrise to Candleford, Coronation St, Natures Great Events, Casualty etc. In fact nothing. I had left the Foxsat on standby (energy saving mode). My signal strength is 90%, quality 100%.
I'm very concerned that I may have a faulty unit as I am having difficulty playing back recordings that I have made and some of the screens that the manual shows I do not get. I have tried to do a factory reset but I cannot get that screen up as it is greyed out on the menu.
Has anyone else had this problem perhaps they could advise otrherwise I will have to speak with Humax UK.

If I remember correctly this will be the case if the stb is recording at the time. However if your not recording it sounds like a fault

Thanks for that. Yes the STB was recording! Unfortunately the reset has not helped. I think it's on to Humax tomorrow!

I have a problem with Frost (ITV1 weekdays 16:00). My HDR keeps missing Monday's episodes. I know it will be OK today (Tuesday) and the rest of the week, but today's programme is part 2 of 2, so not much use ! When part 1 is transmitted on a Friday, I miss Monday's part 2 of course.
This feels like a problem with ITV not transmitting the appropriate codes ???
Any one else have this issue ?
I have no other issues with scheduled recordings, just Frost.

Now this is weird. I am watching The Thorn Birds series on Zone Romantica. I thought the fact that it didn't record the first episode (a week last Monday) was my own fault for not setting it correctly. However, it successfully recorded the episodes every night (and including last night - Tuesday) but missed Monday again!

Theme tune for Humax Freesat+ - I don't like Mondays?!!!
