Have just switched over from Sky+ and am struggling a little with the functionality of the Humax! I've read the manual from cover to cover but can't seem to find out how to watch a programme that has started recording but not yet finished.

It doesn't appear in the schedule but I couldn't seem to get it off media either.

If you press the media button it should appear in the list, however it take about 30 seconds before it becomes available from the time it starts to record.

You should be able to view it via the media button.

Scroll thru recorded programmes,you should find the programme that you are recording(it will have a red dot next to it) press ok and then highlight Play from start press ok
you are then watching from the beginning the programme that you are recording

thanks

will try this tonight and see if it works. Does it matter if I am recording 2 programmes a tthe same time?

No.

You can record two and watch a recording.

In some cases you can record two and watch a third (depending upon whether the third shares a transponder with either of the first two).
