I have been away on holiday this week and left my Humax 9200T to record as normal but on arriving home today i found that only last Saturdays recordings are on it and all the rest of the weeks schedules were not recorded also most of the series link listing have not been updated to next week.

many thanks for any replies

Hi


I wonder if this is due to the cached EPG? Perhaps when it is recording only it doesn't have time to obtain a new version of the EPG in order to update the series links?

Did you have a look at the EPG when you turned it on, was it populated for the next 7 days in a few minutes or did it required a lot longer?

There seems to a few issues relating to caching the EPG and that data becoming out of date unfortunately.


Regards

I couldn't answer as to why nothing recorded during the week, but I could probably have a guess as to why the series links have not updated.
My theory is that as it now takes much longer to gather any updated EPG info, when the hummy turns on to record it's not gathered enough info to update the following week during the recording session.
Aslo with the fact that nothing got recorded apart from saturday would suggest to me that your hummy may not of even gone into active standby to gather any EPG info.
Then again does the hummy gather and save EPG data when coming in and out of active standby?

If this is indeed the cause, one work-around would be to use the "auto-on" and "auto-off" facility to switch on the Hummy when it is not being used (e.g. 3.00am) and leave it on for some period of time (one to two hours, perhaps). This would be of particular benefit when you are away for several days/weeks, and hence not watching during the evening.

Mine updated fine when it was left alone for a few days and in stand-by. It recorded everything for a week and just recording from the schedule. The second time I left it alone for a few days, I checked immediately I switched it on and everything was up to date including that day's epg. On this second occasion it had recorded a 30 radio programme and so that may have been enough to update that day's epg. I was suprised that I could not find any gaps in it. Auto update is switched off.

I can't see that something along those lines would have caused all the recordings from Sunday not to have taken place. Without any further updates to the epg there would still be the first 7 days of epg.
