It's fixed, Barry said it was and also that the new boot loader was not required. Both correct so he does know more than a Humax employee. What's the point of this ?
If you gave me two statements and said that one statement was from the Chief Technologist at Humax (i.e. Bob_Cat) and the other one was from a non-employee who knows the Humax management (i.e. Barry) I would tend to believe the Chief Technologist statement would be more accurate. In this case it was not and I accept that. |

Wow. I just popped out for a paper, come back and the toys are all over the floor!
It's true that I was (am still) ignorant of some of the history here, and I had no intention of offending anyone, just offering a view. But I'd imagine that any forum will involve people with various levels of knowledge, rather than simply those with all the facts and those with none. I'm here because I want to learn, and because my view or experience may at some point contribute something useful / help someone else. The standpoint I'm coming from is that H have made a great product, and a complete pig's ear of things like the manual, communication with customers, and specifically here, correcting faults that shouldn't have been there at launch. Some slightly more organised mfrs would take note of user feedback, hell, they might even notice the faults themselves in the first month or two, assuming they use their own products. They would be concerned about the effect of word of mouth on new sales and about repeat sales to existing customers. They might even feel obliged to correct unarguable faults anyway. What they would be quite unlikely to do would be to start feeding info out about what they might be doing (or might not) via the back door. What on earth does that achieve, apart from driving an amount of posting on this forum and others? It doesn't help owners - most just want to know that a fix has been made. Beta testing is very valid, of course, but it needs to be clearly announced, organised and monitored. Can we say that about this performance, the way it emerged, the confusion over the loader, the feedback form that neither covers or even explains what all the mods are? Surely no, on each count. That's how I see the 'real situation' and why I certainly wasn't commenting in "absolute ignorance." I'd politely ask who here does really understand why the delays, why the promises, why the hints? If anyone can explain this clearly, without referring to hints or suggestions from B, B or anyone else, but purely with facts, please . . . go ahead. |

So the Sony has "Live pause" and the Humax has "Live rewind"
** I also believe that the official Freeview+ spec requires it to be of the form of "Live Rewind" or am I wrong? Whilst I am at it, does anyone know what the official Freesat+ spec is or can point me to it? |

Ouch thats a bit harsh. In the "Hummy.org is back" thread (in the announcements section over on Hummy) Mike explains the problems he has had and he asks that if you feel the need to slag him off then please do it on his own site.

That's nice. I assume he'll resume posting in these forums as and when.

"Furthermore I am also looking forward to working with freesat to bring their ambitions to fruition and I think that working together with them Humax can help their platform really evolve."

As an Old- timer I am equally interested in whether or not he is still... in his new guise.. part of the BSI?

@Bob_cat, Could you get the remaining bugs fixed for the HDR now you are back please?
Subtitles on live pause, long delay after pressing guide, live playback ending when scheduled record ends Recording from buffer to the start of the current programme Forget playing with future products like youview, you do not have anything else on the market at the moment, please consider one last release to keep your customers happy. |

I can't find the post but Bob_cat has jumped ship and left Humax.
