Can't change padding from Auto
Hi there, an odd bug here.
When I first got the Humax HDR I decided to play safe and set the padding to 5minutes beginning and end as I found the Auto setting missed out parts of the recorded show. This worked in that it would add the five minutes. However, as the Humax box seems to use only the one tuner if recording two shows, one after the other, thereby cutting the first 5minutes from the second recorded show, I decided to set this back to Auto. Once again, I missed lots of beginnings and endings. So, now I tried to change back to something like 2minutes. But I can't seem to do it. When I try to change the beginning from Auto to 2minutes, it reboots the Humax and when it comes back, nothing has changed. Has anyone else seen this bug? |

No,
Something is wrong here. For the most part Auto (AR) works perfectly well;, if you are getting problems in changeing btween the two, I suggest doing a Factory Reset, and then leaving Auto (AR) to do is work. Rgds. Les. |

Thanks savvy,
How does one do a factory reset, and will this erase all the programs set up to be recorded? |

This problem has been talked about before on this forum, so you are not alone. I have had it myself. Yes, the factory reset sorts it out. Not sure about the scheduled recordings. I think they are lost. Someone else will hopefully let you know.

I had this problem too. I found that by highlighting the "field" and using the arrows to move sideways to select the option you want, the HDR didn't crash, as it did after selecting from a drop down list of options.

As always I would encourage folk to post exactly what was late or didn't work with no padding etc. so that it might be possible to establish a pattern.

The channel 4 group of channels are unreliable with Auto, e.g., Smallville on E4. BBC is pretty reliable. I've not had problems with Zone, True Movies and the like.

During the summer I used to record the test match highlights at 7:15 on 'five'. These always finished before the end, while interviews & summing up were being carried out. I think it started a few seconds into the programme.

Yes one would think the box could detect which channels transmit the program start data and obey it and for those that do not it appiles +/- 5 Minutes (or another value preset bye the user).
