Same here on the Craigkelly transmitter with my 9200.

Switches to BBC1 by itself and sometimes the red button text page appears...

Me too, on Blackhill. Just started yesterday and changes to BBC1 from BBC7 with the please wait bar in the top right corner. Fine on any other non BBC channels.

Getting this in SW London off of Crystal Palace. I have reported it to the BBC here:

If enough people report it they should hopefully take notice.

Surrey pointing at Crystal Palace.

Was convinced it was a remote fault with back and red button sticking as it stopped doing it when it was moved out of room. But its intermittent so that is no proof and others say moving remote makes no difference, so looks like remote is not at fault.

Started yesterday. Turned my back to find teletext page on screen (forgot which page, but not normal one). This morning, kept changing to BBC1 from CBBC.

I did a retune last night in the unlikely chance it cured the problem. No noticeable change.

Mine seems fine on BBC4, it's just that it won't stay on BBC2 it just changes to BBC1 and a sign flashes up on the screen 'please wait'. Also I can't use the teletext button, it just won't work.

I reported to the BBc and I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but it seems to be working OK now. Anyone else checked lately?

Same here in Newcastle on the 9200T.

Noticed it switching from CBeebies and BBC2 to BBC1 yesterday evening. It seems to be triggered when the BBC channel tries to load the red button icon on the screen. Also had text open on me out of the blue a couple of times.
Managed to avoid it by briefly pausing the channel, then playing, but it was immensely frustrating last night.

Haven't tried this morning.

Miles.

Seeing the same here on Sutton transmitter (I think). Assumed the box had finally packed in and was about to buy another - that freeview HD receiver will have to wait for another day.

Still happening for me in Edinburgh....

In a brief test this morning I found my 9200 would stay on BBC News (channel 80) if I selected it from the EPG but if I selected channel 80 from the number keypad it would jump back to BBC1 after a short time.

Been in touch with Humax and they have had a few calls about this and are looking into it. My own 9200t has been doing the same since last night and is still doing it this morning. No work around at the mo.

The usual work around for MHEG problems is not to watch live; either chase play or pause the program for 30 seconds and watch it slightly delayed.

Mine started with the Teletext index showing up on BBC1 then it kept going from BBC three to one. This Morning the "Loading" for Teletext was flicking on and off but the Index page and Switching channels was not happening.

Same problem with 9200T. BBC2 reverts to BBC1, occasionally displaying Teletext index. BBC News (80) usually soon displays Teletext index. Use Redruth transmitter, but not transmitter problem, as my freeview TV (which shares an aerial with the PVR) is working fine.

Have emailed Humax, but no reply yet.

At least it's not just a Humax 9200 problem then.

My Topfield PVRs are not affected - but then I have interactive turned off on those. That should be a mandatory option IMHO. OTOH my Samsung TV is not affected either with interactive left turned on.

My PVR 8000, Humax TV and my friend's 9300 are all ok.

Same problem in Northern Ireland - CBeebies keeps changing to BBC 1 on a 9200T - not sure if it is more annoying for my daughter who is watching it or for those of us who have to keep going back into the room to reset the channel!

Started around tea time last night.

Emley Moor transmitter. I'm currently watching BBC 2 (Daily Politics) through my 9200T and it started switching over to BBC 1 literally every few seconds.
I then watched the programme through the built-in Freeview on my Panasonic Viera TV and it hasn't switched once.
BUT I periodically spotted a "NO SIGNAL" message flash on the screen which I don't normally get.
So it may be that the 9200T just switches to BBC 1 when it gets a NO SIGNAL situation (as if it's just been switched on) and the Panasonic is dealing with it better and keeping the correct programme.
EDIT: Interestingly, I recorded the programme as well and that recorded without any switch!!

Same here, but only on the machine with the .23 software. My other 9200T, running the .22 software, is unaffected.
