Same problem here aswell, with no picture when turning on from standby while it is recording.

HDMI on HDR T2 now broken
2 of 5
Thanks PhilipL:
Yes, I tried switching from PVR to tv - as others have suggested - but it didn't help. If it happens again, I will try switching to DVD.

HDMI now broken for me too. Never ever had a problem before (bought HDR when they first came out). I have a 2 y.o. Philips LCD tv. Now you have to switch tv channel to HDMI first, then turn on the Humax. Otherwise tv ALWAYS says "no signal". And if a recording is in progress, your just stuffed.
Really annoyed customer here...

Bob, clearly there is an issue here else different people wouldn't be reporting it. I'm not sure what your 'what problem?' post is meant to achieve other than make you look smug. If you don't have a problem, I'm happy for you. But please don't dismiss other people's experiences of this bug which is all too real!
Just again to repeat my post as it may help someone. I had issues with the new code, but a switch of HDMI cable resolved the issue.
The original cable is working fine on my DVD player, and the one that I pinched from the DVD player is working fine on the Humax.
So it looks like different cables can effect the issue.
Regards,
Paul

I found this with my new HDR, straight out of the box, updated the software and 20Gb was used - before I'd recorded anything!

Nothing about being smug! Just making a perfectly reasonable observation that if I'm not having problems the upgrade must be ok,not corrupted so though several users have a problem its likely a problem with their setups not general "bug".

...but my setup hasn't changed and the software has. Where there wasn't an issue before there now is an issue
For me, this would suggest that the software isn't working the way it used to.

Obviously updates change the software but if it doesn't change my setup for the worse it doesn't seem to be a bug.

Most HDMI problems with consumer electronics are not experienced in every combination of equipment. If a unit fails to work properly with several major television brands (Sony and Panasonic have been mentioned I believe) then it is a bug regardless of whether it affects everyone.

You can't possibly draw that conclusion. If you're not having problems, it simply means that any bugs haven't (yet) affected you. There's a near-infinite variety of different Humax settings, types of TV, TV settings, user habits etc. which can mean it works 'perfectly' for one person but exhibits major problems for another.

That's like saying Aspirin are safe but a few people may have side affects,still Humax is still more reliable than my 3view which worked for a few days but now wont show HD, now someone will say 3view is perfect!

Power cuts happen. This is a consumer device, it should be able to cope. My old Pace Twin recovered from this, you got two files for the recording one from before the power cut and one after, I just watch one then the other and there's a small gap in the middle.
If the HDR Fox T2 can trash the disc on a power cut then it is not fit for purpose. Even Windows can cope with this without trashing the hard disc.

My Sony KDL 26E4000 is affected, if I switch the Humax on while it is recording I have to watch via RGB SCART as nothing gets the HDMI working again.

I too have a Sony tv. Yesterday, I got the HDMI working again by switching the HDMI cable from one socket on the tv to another socket (when both the Humax and Sony were on - not on standby). Just hope this can't damage anything!
I am also having problems using the hdr-t2 connected to an Onkyo TXBR 1007 then to one of the 56PL 25:10 widescreen philips tellies.
I can normally get the picture back by switching inputs but sometimes have to restart the Humax (with remote).

Sorry to say that HDMI seems to be giving problems with my Sony KDL40W5710: quite frequently the TV will get no picture or sound after both it and the Humax are powered on after being on standby. Switching to another input and back on the TV doesn't fix it. I have to put the Humax back in to standby, wait a while and power it on again to get HDMI to work.
Fortunately I haven't yet had the problem when the box has been recording.
It does look as if they have managed to introduce new HDMI issues in 1.02.07. I wonder if this is anything to do with the "HDMI > DVI improvements" which are listed in the release notes?

My system hasn't changed at all. The only thing that has is the Humax software. Before the change my HDMI switching was reliable, afterwards it is isn't. And neither is that of other members.
I found it helped to turn the Humax on before the TV, people may want to try that as a temporary fix.
Dear everybody:
Try contacting [Humax Support] Colin <colin@humax-digital.co.uk>
At least he replies!

I found just the opposite: the HDMI sync seems to be more reliable if the TV is already powered on when I bring the Humax out of standby.

Yeah, me too:
TV on first, then Humax, works for me.

What make and model of TV are you using?
I have three Humax boxes and with all up dates over the years have worked fine with me.
1) Humax HD freesat box ( linked to Internet by cable )
2) Humax HD PVR freesat box ( linked to Internet too )
3) Humax HD PVR 1TB freeview box ( linked to Internet too )
All have been working fine and have no trouble ( at this time
)
I do have my TV on before the boxes go on as I have number boxes to my Toshiba 46" HD freeview & 32 " freeview TV's like DVD recorder with freeview , free sky & Virgin HD PVR and Humax boxes
I notice the sky player has gone from Humax freeview player.
So may be to make the Humax box work you need TV on first ???
