Theres still lots of things wrong, this one thing has taken nearly a year to fix.
They are either inept, undermanned or just do not care. Humax truly are pathetic with their support for their products. |

Well I am not,
they still have not sorted Subtitles on live pause, live playback ending when the scheduled record ends No recording from buffer to the start of the current programme |

Don't tell me... no fix for the disappearing picture when pressing guide? That would have been too much to ask for.

... Looks like they prioritise on "how easy is it to fix".....
Isn't this (sadly) a general rule for business today ? |

Humax truly are pathetic with their support for their products. I was watching a recording and realised another schedule wasnt being recording, I stopped playing and it immediately started to record once it went to live tv. Could be a coincidence but Id hate for it to happen often. |

Why is it impossible to fix? One tuner does the EPG and the other keeps the show on in the background.
Ive asked many times but no one has answered why this does not happen. |

+1 Not seen an answer, its definitely possible.
They just used 1 tuner as every box could do that. |

4 is seen as an unlucky number especially so in software after the infamous MSDOS 4 debacle. So 16 is unlucky squared.

It's possible that Humax use the 'even' releases to denote 'work in progress' firmware within the company i.e during the development work stages. |

I assume they didnt want to make the box be aware how many tuners it could use and then use either 1 or 2 depending on the setup.
They just used 1 tuner as every box could do that. I would have thought that displaying the cached EPG with a key-press to fully update the EPG was the sensible thing to do, it would have been really easy to implement. I'm sure someone from Humax reads these forums, please do tell us what the reasoning was. |

That of course was another thing that made no sense as well.
The hardware is great but its clear its only tested by the people who made the firmware because its not a logical box at all, they really need more testing from users and not coders. With all the useless buttons on the remote, theres not even one to switch from FS to non FS mode. |

Maybe that is what they were thinking, we don't know as they've been silent on the topic.

Ive asked many times but no one has answered why this does not happen. I would mention that after installing 1.00.17 you should allow the GUIDE EPG to refresh once (so it was reported elsewhere, otherwise you will not see any change) |

IMO they should just not show TV behind the guide so it doesn't feel like a bug.

So we shouldn't be able to check what's on other channels whilst watching TV, without what we are currently watching cutting out? Why on earth would anyone want that to happen?

Note that Raydon is working on a patch for 1.00.17 firmware, currently if you upograde you will lose the patch functions.
As Flyer 10 says its a little worrying with new firmware if you go straight to EPG to test you may think the recording setting is still not fixed, second time it it was good. http://www.avforums.com/forums/frees...ase-4-0-a.html |

It is now live to download through the receiver itself by going to Software Update in the menu and searching for one.
