If it happens again I will check.
What we do get are momentary blips in power. Some of our STB's are affected and lose the time, some are not.
I cannot recall recent complaints on power cuts, hence my comments.
I also am not a Humax basher. To be honest I get rather fed up with all the persistant bashing, when in essence the PVR is excellent. I honestly think most issues are more to do with the UI, which is "Different" but usable.

Pete,
I don't have firmware v 1.00.03, I'm on 02. I know Graham Thompson, and others tested this, and I'm pretty sure they are on 02 as well. Barry, over at Hummy.org also confirmed it, but I can't remember if that was before he got his second box which is on 03, or not. Bob has confirmed that 03 only contains an update process tweak, needed to be able to receive the next feature release OTA, so I would be surprised if this was "fixed" in 03, although you could test or monitor this.
Graham's test, I think, concluded that the HDR could survive about 25secs (the residual power left in the PSU capacitors), before succumbing to this.
Rgds.
Les.
