hi have just got humax + had the old one for about 3 years was pleased with it ,
when i have recorded something some have a g in a circle at the end , and when i am flicking threw programs to see what to copy i see things like 3 files on top of each other does humax have a website that explains what they all mean i have tried the web and the book to no avail thanks for any help

Hi, G enclosed by a circle usually means "guidance", as in the programme recorded has a guidance rating because it maybe contains strong language or adult themes.

thanks for your reply thats one down but do you no of enywhere that explains all off them thanks again

Every recording has 3 files with the same name the main file with the video (.ts) and two support files (.hmt and .nts). You don'e see these when using the Humax UI. Are you accessing the disc externally as in using the custom firmware ?. If so you will also see .thm thumbnail files for the chapter graphics.

no t sure what you are saying all i have done at the moment is go into guide check whats on for the night and press record , i dont even no how to record a whole series yet . its just when flicking threw the guide different things change in the top right corner also sorry about the spelling not my best subject

Right you mean the epg info icons.

Firstly press OK not record to get the series options.

HD means programme is HD, HD with right arrow means you are on a SD channel but the programme is available in HD (pressing OK you will get the option HD/SD), a blue symbol with stacked folders indicates you can request to record all episodes of a series.

Sometimes you might see a jigsaw puzzle icon, this means the recording will be a split event (like a film in two halves with the news in the middle).

yes i did see the jigsaw one, this is one of them that made me ask the question thanks for the info
