That's progress for you - we never had that problem when the lamplighter came every evening and lit all the gas lamps in our street

So far we've had no reports of problems on the Panasonic HW110, HW120, HW220, PWT420, PWT520, BWT720.

Gave in on Humax Boxes due to constant problems with software updates. Willing to give new generation a go but already issues are appearing, Clock/HDMI etc.

Time is correct now on my box, checked after a poster posted same on MyHumax.

Humax 1000s/GB/500gb

I have the same problem with clock, considering my 5 year old Humax did have auto summertime check this appears to be a poor oversight because it shows they have the knowledge, My slow motion button doesn't work either, plus the iPlayer and ITV player keep freezing as well, I'm afraid I can't recommend this product.

The clock on mine is correct today- think that this might have been a freesat G2 data problem.

The problem was clearly down to Freesat transmitting the wrong time. Not a clue why your box is not now showing the correct time, afaik everyone else's is. It was corrected sometime on Tuesday (I don't have the clock on, it's a waste of energy for me, plenty of other clocks).

There is no slow motion button

VOD freezing is most likely down to your internet connection or network link being too slow.

Maybe they leave their box on 24/7?

If they did they can't see the clock so wouldn't know it's wrong

Maybe they are a nightbird and always watching TV at 3am in the morning?

Now that's a possibility

To be honest I don't know if the HDR-1000S does housekeeping. Normal changes take place without you knowing it as they happen. So ironically the box may need to be on to pick up the time.

Sos, in any case you can't really tell it's on. Even recording in sby there's only a tiny recording icon. So unless I use it as a rather hard pillow unlikely to notice

Graham,
I did set up a check but forgot which day I did it - I turned off the Foxsat and was going to look the power consupion graph (OWL Intuition). Will repeat again tonight..

I think it may well, do something, perhaps just a wakeup, If an old series link should come alive near the end of a two week holiday how would it know otherwise.

Edit: Perhaps the person who thinks their clock is still wrong has not turned it on since it was corrected - it may be the clock function is, for him, the main feature

Good point , fancy going on holiday for 3 weeks just to check it does actually update the epg even for normal series recordings

Memories of auto padding and the Freeview-HD boxes

None on a Foxsat-hdr either.

No "slo mo" key on the R/C (that I can see), so how are you trying/expecting to get it?

My Foxsat HDR has a Slow Motion Button.

Found it hidden away from the main transport controls , never used it though. There isn't one on the HDR-1000s remote. Maybe the Foxsat-hdr remote will give you slo-mo on the HDR-1000s if you change it's ir channel. (doubt it will work).

i use my HDR remote in my back room to control my HDR1000s in the front room, via 5.8ghz digisenders, and the hdr remote does everythin that the 1000s remote does
