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.

the 2 programmes are series linked oddly enough ( although maybe on HD only ?)

The BBC have given them the same Series CRID on BBCHD, so that is the correct behaviour.

Rgds.

I'm still having problems with subtitles. When time shifting on any ITV channels i still get subtitles appearing and have no way to remove them, even after the update

Maybe the faster delete is just down to the system flagging the file to be deleted and not actually deleting it to a little later.

It does not actually delete any faster just returns control to you. Try a second delete while the bin icon is on the screen. It certainly feels a lot faster.

• RGB output available on HD content (Live TV and Recordings)

Does this mean you get HD quality via RGB, or HD content at SD quality?

Is it my imagination, but I am watching ITV1 via RGB at the moment and the PQ seems better since upgrading - very sharp.

It's SD scart can only carry SD with the best picture available in RGB. Prior to the update HD was downgraded to composite only. If you want to sse the best ITV1 pictures try ITV 1 West Country (unless of course that's what you are already viewing)

Thanks for confirming what I thought, that it can't be HD via RGB. Being not very tekkie I get easily confused

Watching in Granadaland; if nobody else has noticed it must be me.

Morning all,

Have been trying to upgrade from USB stick as per instructions on Humax site. Tried 2 USB sticks both under 1gb as stated and no luck. Just goes through normal boot up.

I can't do an OTA upgrade as I've only one feed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Mine was a 2 GB USB and worked fine. Is yours formatted with FAT32? If not try that.

Since the update, I now see, when you press the 'info' button for recordings, no programme details are display for the recording, it certainly used to work before the update.

Seems okay for me.
One press for basic info and another for full info.

Out of interest, I take it the "Update date" in Diagnostics means nothing to this? Software is reporting as 1.00.11 but "Update date" is 25/OCT/09.

Loader is still 7.52, is there any advantage to manually updating this to 7.53?

I imagine that was the completion date of the version compiling

Update date will just be when it was compiled.

No advantage unless you use multiple satellite stuff, no.

My multisat setup is still on an antique Technomate 1000 from when I was in school so I won't bother then. Thanks!

Weird, today it seems to work fine, yesterday I tried numerous times and for the life of me I could not get info for recordings to show.

Cheers

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.
Any further news on this Bob_Cat ?
