I wonder if the Freesat EPG people made some other configuration change (and not the usual channel additions / removals / name changes / transponder & frequency changes) or (however unlikely) momentarily loss of the Freesat transponder which caused everyones Humax to hang whilst performing its 3AM scan for changes?
I guess we shall all be eager to see what happens tonight. Might be worth booting the box to bring it out of standby (and then put it straight back to standby) before leaving for work tomorrow morning! |

I was wondering if the summer solstice had triggered a bug in the new time-handling code leaving the time reset to Time Zero?

From my recordings I now see that ITV1 carries Still Adverts for it's own TV shows throughout the Night..
What a waste of Power or are the old fashioned 'Must be on to Synch ' issues still prevalent? If not surely someone somewhere should say Shut it down..if only to save money? Obviously my THUMBS were not updated and so i now have 3 days to update tonight. If this 'Nonupdating' repeats itself again.. as in the recent past.. within the next few weeks it is then an indication that the overnight housekeeping is not as pre-ordained as one would hope. Possibly Humax know that it will regularly fail in overnight update? If so they should tell us now.. otherwise we will assume that they do not know what is wrong again. How about it BobCat... is it now sorted please? Stan |

Stan Now that housekeeping includes updating the channel list I wonder if weak freessat transponder signals may play a part of the problem- so perhaps check the signal quality on channel 999. How long does it take for the EPG to refresh on your HDR? |

Repassac did you check them yesterday or today ?. Mine were not (signal 100/100). They were updated today as expected.

I checked them today just before I replied to the post. Realise now yesterday should have been this morning (BBC1 Eastenders).
Most odd unless Freesat come clean (doubtfull) I doubt we will ever know

Strange, the only BBC1-HD recording I have left is Eastenders and the thumbnails are present.

As mentioned in another thread, my HDR had been in standby since Monday, and failed to record scheduled progs on both Tuesday & Wednesday, on different channels. I have Rubicon set for record tonight (BBC4) and I'm not going to touch the box today, and see if it does it's 15 minute pre-wakeup.

Did you watch to see if it woke up for each scheduled recording ? |

Just out of interest what do people use the thumbnails for? I have never found a use for them.

![]() I'm vaguely aware that there are pictures underneath the information when you first select a recording but I just press [Ok] and start watching. I used to have an Inverto that generated thumbnails and I could never see the point there either. Used to annoy me because it would spend half a minute generating the damn things before you could start playback. Presumably people are using them like a kind of bookmark or chapters system? Still seems weird to me though. I just play recordings through from start to end then delete them. |

In terms of chapter thumbnails on DVD's produced from these though I do see a point purely because you put them in specific places rather than ones totally unrelated to the actual content. |

missing recordings/receiving progamme info msg on
Hi sorry if this is in the wrong thread. If it is can one of you smart folks point me to the right place. A few questions on HUMAX-Foxsat-HDR Freesat
- what is thumbnails? - real questions I have setup to record several series & last week a couple failed to show (BBC & ITV). Then they did but when I tried to run I got the FAILED to record msg. So could only delete. Also, I notice when I press on GUIDE I always seem to get the message RECEIVING PROGRAMME INFORMATION just above the time/date. It takes quite a few minutes before it clears & begins to transmit behind the list. I never ever noticed this before & I have had the box for about 2 years. I have sofware updates on Auto & have checked manual & there are no updates waiting. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help ![]() Next time you want to set a recording or view the epg, press the schedule button and then the red button. After pressing guide it should take about 40 seconds not minutes before you can set a reservation. If it's taking longer try a freesat tune and don't bother to save the results. PS There's an echo on this thread

Thanks for the help ![]() The "RECEIVING PROGRAMME INFORMATION" should not be on screen for more than about 40 secs. Time it try a freesat retinue BUT do not save the results, retime and hopefully back to "normal". |

retinue?
Hi Repassac
thanks for the speedy response. But sorry I don't understand what you want me to do. I agree it normally flashes up & gone in seconds. So bear with me & give me idiot instructions
