BOOT has disappeared from my Humax
Used to be that when I switched off on the remote and then subsequently turned back on that I would go through a BOOT cycle.
Now I see that every time I switch on I go straight into the previously selected channel. When and how did thjis come along? My friendly neighbour's Humax still goes through the BOOT sequence every time. Am I not going properly into Standby and using more power than necessary. If it doesn't use more power then fine but it certainly seems a very bright l;ight Cheers Sandy |

Was the box recording, if so it won't go into full standby untill any recording completes ?
Check you haven't got a runaway recording. This also applies if there is a recording due in the next 15 minutes. |

I had a hidden runaway recording over the weekend. It created some very bizarre behaviour, not to mention a recording of Would I Lie To You with a duration of 1386 minutes!
A normal recording is a far more likely explanation for what the OP's is seeing however. Cheers, David. |

More on the strange non BOOT
Thanks Graham and David. Knew I could rely on you.
Some further observations. In the very early hours of this morning and crouched down by the Humax I could hear the disk turning - not good. How do I detect or confirm a hidden or runaway recording? What is an OP? SOB I would understand but don't think I have ever been called an OP before. This morning I proceeded to do a mains switch off and when I switched on again the Humax went through a normal BOOT sequence Sandy |

If normal possibly just a glitch (could be a mains spike). I had one runaway recordings months ago , so it's a pretty rare occurence (thought to be the box missing the Accurate Recording indication the peogramme has completed) |

Problem solved, I think
Reviewed all recorded media and none excessively long. Lots of recordings and on occasions there had been a glitched recording when hard drive had been full. This showed up in listing with an icon looking like a broken piece of film. Went through recordings again and deleted all such.
All now booting as per, THANKS Graham |
