Which replacement remote are you guys using and is it a case of learning the functions?
J There is a code for the Humax device which gives a start point, then you have to program a few keys. You can do the whole device from scratch if you want though. The device code for the Humax is S1176 . http://www.amazon.co.uk/One-all-URC7...600230&sr=8-17 Patrick |

You tell it what equipment you're using and it sets it up for you. If you want you can assigned any button to another purpose. Be warned, though, that the software is truly appalling. It makes the Humax UI look extraordinarily good in comparison. Most people find it's worth sticking with as once it's set up it's really good. I found it improved the whole experience of using the PVR. |

I'll be absolutely delighted to have the last laugh on me if they really do a top class job on the update.
But they'll need to fix the piece of clunkiness that drives me to distraction on an almost daily basis; the wretched info bar that stays on screen way too long and prevents you performing certain functions instead of just disappearing and doing what you told it to. By your HDR's poor action. Just accept the firmware update, with a bow! Even if something's not in - give Bob_Cat a big grin, And enjoy it - it's the last one anyhow! And, all together now.... Always look on the bright side of life ....And again .... Always .... ![]() ![]()

I may have run into this. My one and only lockup a few months ago was during a twin recording but I can't remember whether I had changed to a radio channel or not. But perhaps there is more than one scenario that triggers this?
The first occurred whilst I was recording 'Dateline London' and tried to watch an already recorded programme, 'Click', I had accessed the media menu, selected the programme to watch and it locked up. It was annoying, I couldn't watch 'Click' and I couldn't switch the HDR off as I was recording 'Dateline London', which I couldn't watch either as the menus were plastered all across the screen! The second was this morning, I noticed the clock was being displayed, so it hadn't shut down into power saving mode overnight. I brought it out of 'standby' switched the TV on, tried to access the schedule and no response. tried a few more button presses to make sure it wasn't the remote (worse remote I've ever had the misfortune to use, but that's a different story!) pressed the standby button on the HDR, no response. So, in answer to your question there appear to be quite a few different scenarios that result in the HDR locking up, but they are not always repeatable, so difficult to diagnose. |

I've had over twenty lockups, but I hope that they are all related to the above. (I recorded MUCH more radio programs than TV, so here's hoping.)
And then I replaced the hard drive a few weeks ago, and not had one since. |

I believe it was intimated a while back that there is a hardware constraint that is preventing a software solution for this problem.
I am also quite annoyed that this is not fixed or it could be that they just haven't mentioned it in the fix list (and it could be a nice surprise). Cross those fingers

If the power restore issue is resolved it will be a separate issue, it requires a change to the boot-loader which cannot be broadcast in an OTA.
It isn't a simple issue but last time I checked we were looking at it. |

I just wanted to say a big thanks to all at Humax and Bob_Cat for adding these features and fixing the issues. The not being able to delete while recording was a biggie for me so I'm as happy as a pig in some substance!!!
Not tried it yet but have downloaded and will install when I get home tonight. |

Not tried it yet but have downloaded and will install when I get home tonight. As long as Humax sort out any bugs then great what more can anyone ask. As for the power issue I'm sure you will work something out at the end of the day its just a bit of programming and how the device starts up and checks its time and date to keep the schedules working. Its how that fits in with everything else is the fun bit. Having dealt with netgeat with the EVA8000 streamer which should never have been released to the public with its original firmware I know to well how companys can really let themselfs down. Netgears only saving grace was its Beta test forum which managed to resolve much of the issues and then suddenly stopped being supported as the Netgear team of software writers moved to the replacement platform leaving unfinshed business. The ethoss that seemed to be forgotten was to get the device doing what it said on the box. Thankfully the humax does virtually what it says on the box and its warming to hear that other issues are still being looked into to see if there is a resolve. |

http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/suppo...ategory_seq=65 Also now showing on DTG website http://www.dtg.org.uk/industry/download_schedule.php Anyway the download works as I have just done it. Upgraded from Loader U 7.52 to U 7.53. Upgraded from firmware 1.00.03 to 1.00.11. Not done any real testing for bug fixes , just switched back on and it is working. If you use this method then follow the instructions not like me being a geek and using instructions as a last resort. I put usb in rear socket not front usb socket forgetting it existed behind the flap. Thanks Humax. I will test for recording/deleting which was my only real issue and I will get back to the forum.

Just updated both loader and firmware here - really easy to do with USB stick, only took 5 mins.
Well done to Humax and the teams who have worked on this update, also to all those that reported the issues over the last year mostly via Bob & Humax support. |

I forgot to mension, the good news is that for me at least deleting is much, much quicker an HD film for instance in under two seconds rather that 10-15.
May be a bug or just me but I cannot get Dr Who mars episode on the 15th to select as recording without getting Dr confidential just after it to show as recording as well. It did not do this before. Can you try that savvy please? I did select this initially from a search for doctor who though so that may be it. John |
