Talking about popups, I was using YouTube last night and that pocksy recording set banner appeared
![]() Now if only they could do something about that as it's ever so annoying everytime it updates a series link. (Well I assume that's why it randomly appears) |

Misunderstood, would you want the popup overlayed on recordings or non live playback ? the popups only appear in the gaps between programmes, I can imagine the outcry if they were overlaid on someones favourite programme
Need the OP to clarify. A popup for The Voice appeared in the gap between Bargain Hunt and The News. Set a series recording for it with no problems. IQ1 I have photos but it hardly seems worthwhile posting them as Gonzo doesn't have an issue. I can upload to a file share site if you want to see them.

I never figured out why that appears either. Wouldn't be so bad if turning on diagnostics enabled it. Surprised you see it while viewing Youtube.
probably a freesat requirement

However some of the comments made by some posters are particulary inane. Complaining about the date the firmware file was created from what was presumably a previous beta version to create the production release rather says something about the poster don't you think.
Sorry to be paticulary inane again....

You might be refering to my post here. All I was trying to say was if Freesat/ Humax can show the correct update release date on their website, why not the same via the box?
Sorry to be paticulary inane again.... ![]() When they open it, it will have the date the file was created or even the last date that file was amended and saved and not when it was sent out. |

Sorry to be paticulary inane again.... ![]() You can install firmware upgrades from a usb stick, indeed some have never been transmitted over the air. Look at the Firmware upgrade for the Foxsat-hdr 1.00.20 here http://beta.humaxonline.co.uk/downloads If you had one and installed it would say 10 Mar 2012 if you did it right now. Or here for the HDR1000s http://beta.humaxonline.co.uk/downloads/hdr-1000s The only data you need be concerned about is the specified software version. |

I rather think the date is actually the date the software was compiled and packaged.

Had the flashing 'press OK for more info' message come up this evening just before Pointless came on.
I imagine they'll try to fix that pretty fast as it's an obvious and annoying bug, either with the Humax software or with how the BBC sends out the flag. |

Few things I've noticed with this update:
Whilst viewing files from the my NAS drive using the Humax Media Share client I'm unable to use the fast forward or re-wind buttons. Live pause: on resume after a length of time there is no audio Flickering reminder banner. Random pop up banners of future recordings. Good update overall though. |

The health aspect was why I thought they'll probably try and fix it quite quickly, although I suspect it might be down to the BBC rather than the box software. Whoever is at fault, it's clear it needs fixing fast. |

They did a couple of ads between programmes, for the first one the banner was all on and off flashing, then it went static for the second one.

Why have we got and why not an option to disable it, at least one that doesn't involve taking a hammer to the TV? If some folk want it fine but for those of us who don't please provide a disable button.
I don't think they're an issue showing up between programmes, it's just that the flashing ones need sorting. |

Are there ANY tv platforms that allow you to disable the on-screen reminders?

What are the chances of there being a software update for the original Foxsat HDR? Are Humax no longer supporting this product?

Anyone else seeing issues with stability?
I've had a few issues now of box locking up, or being unable to pause or record live tv (Even changing the channels seems to have no effect). All was fine until the last update. I'm loving the app, but not the other new 'features' that have been added... |
