Humax HDR-1010S dead?
I've not been too happy with my 1010S since I had it. The occasional reboot, the program guide that's a few steps backwards from the Foxsat -HDR.
But last night looked bad. It booted up in magenta with no sound, and all the menus are 2/3rds size in the TLH corner. There is a picture, but heavily overlaid with magenta. I've tried rebooting, leaving it completely off for a while, factory reset, etc. Anything else I can try? If I manage to get Amazon to take it back, which current ones are better to use? |

Is the picture via a scart cable OK ?
Rats, does this mean I won't be able to send it back?

Yes, fine! Well, well, who'd have thought it? Well, apart from you, obviously, Graham.

Yes, a recent problem I had with my old Foxsat box turned out to be caused by a faulty HDMI cable.
Always best to check those cheap and easy to swap parts first when fault finding.

I don't have a spare HDMI cable but I pulled the old one out and shoved it back in again and everything looks OK. Looks like I'm stuck with it for a while longer!
Thanks for your help, Graham. |
