Finally got a day at home so have booked a replacement box.
I was only on the phone to them for five minutes and have asked for a swap next Tuesday as that my next free day. Still seems a very odd fault to me with it working for a whole day and then several reboots. Today the picture froze again on live tv (froze on Dom Littlewoods face) with the sound still going on... I have asked them if you should include the external power supply unit as in the past cheap old PSU's can cause all kinds of funny faults. Automan. |

One thing that has always puzzled me and that is the white info banner. I seem to get random info alerts for programmes I haven't set to record or ones that I have but the recordings are days away.
Does any one know how the info banner is supposed to work because it just seems to spew rubbish out of mine?

I hope I haven't just jinxed it.... I would like to have the series link option appear when pressing record whilst watching a programme..that's about it. |

Bizarrely enough whenever I set/pressed record the 'white banner' on my box went through a stage of always showing 'The Andrew Marr Show' as being set/recorded regardless of the actual programme I was recording (i.e not 'The Andrew Marr Show') .

I knew I was going to regret asking for a warranty swap! Box delivered okay (they don't come with the external PSU BTW). Only thing it rattles like its got a 1p coin inside, something metallic and pretty heavy. Called Humax again on their 0844 number and rattled the box for them. I now have another one coming on Thursday. Automan. Quote:

My next box has arrived and is powered up.
It has software version 1.00.40 and loader 1.05 I also have just realised it has a card left in the CI Slot labelled HD+ by Astra and thus have asked Humax what to do with that. |

Well box #3 is no better than my first one
![]() Failed to delete tonight's "The Simpson" episode on first try. Now, browsing the guide, the screen image has frozen but the live tv program sound continues. Both are problems I have seen on the first box. So either this box has the same hardware issue and Humax just send them out again unfixed or it is a software issue. I guess its time to pull the mains lead out. EDIT: After a restart, I can see the recording it was making ended at the time the user interface crashed. |

I'd recommend selecting factory default and then see if things improve. |

Yeah it sometimes doesnt like to delete if you try to delete straight after watching a recording and also it will not delete while a recording is in progress.
Hopefully there should be an update soon that will ressolve any remaining issues. |

If you don't want the card, please drop me a PM as I'd be interested in it. |

This is a card for the German "Free" HD service for channels such as RTL and PRO 7.
If you don't want the card, please drop me a PM as I'd be interested in it. More costs

If my new box continues to play up I shall point it out to them.
Postage was only 90p and is a small part of the time cost and frustrations this product as caused me in the last month or so. It's been a busy weekend and I have not had a chance yet to bring it out of standby since Friday and at 07:40 it's time to head out... I hope it has recorded my program's.... |

I think the chances of all these boxes being faulty are remote to ny impossible. Given that, if it was me I would being taking a serious look at the satellite installation.

My Foxsat HDR never had any such issues on the same feed nor does my Samsung box.
My new box over the last three days seems to have recorded my requested programs. |
