I pressed the record button on my Humax and the strangest thing happened. Other channels came up with "Bad or no signal" When I check out the diagnostics, both tuners are okay. Anyone have any ideas?

This sounds alot like a problem I had which was cause by one of my feeds being faulty and not able to pick up all channels. As I had one healthy feed this was only noticible when recording. (I eventually got my installer back out to resolve this).

Note the diagnostic unhelpfully only looks at the first feed not both despite appearances.

Suspect problem could be a loose connection or LNB fault.

To see if this is the issue I'd try operating the box with just one feed connected at a time and see if you can pick up all channels.

Yes, I would concur.

Try these to see if you have full functionality :-

2 Tests for 2 tuner capability :-

Set a recording reservation on 104, can you set a recording on 136 at the same time as 104? If you can, then you must have 2 tuner capability. (104 is low band horizontal and 136 is one of the few channels on high band vertical). Stop the recordings.

Now, go to 951 BBC 1 CI and start an instant recording, go to 108 BBC HD and start another instant recording. Now tune in to any other channel and press pause. If you can pause a 3rd channel your stb is working correctly, with full 2 cable/2tuner functionality, if not you may need to fix your cable problems and then do a factory reset. (You can record two channels at the same time using just one tuner if they are one the same transponder, so if a "friendly" combination of channels is used it is not a true test).

Rgds.


Les.
