Latest HDR1000S Update / Display issue
Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone else has had any issues with the front panel display on the HDR1000S since the firmware update a couple of days ago? The icons along the top of the display which show the units status and whether the unit is recording seems to have disappeared, and all that displays now is the program name / channel. It has been a bit temperamental in the past, however powering it down and back on usually bought it back on and I've always put it down to a bug in the firmware, but I've powered it down a few times since the update and there is nothing. So I just wanted to know if anyone else had noticed the same before I do a reset on the box, and lost my recordings and planner info and find it is no different! Thanks, James. |

Yep missing icons and reboots and box just shutting down. Some 3rd party WiFi dongles don't now work. Loads of posts at MyHumax.

Thanks for that. I'll hold on for the time being then as it looks like I've been one of the lucky ones then as I've not had any rebooting, and my 3rd party Floureon dongle is still working.
Made me smile looking at the humax forum where someone said they had reported the icon issue to Humax and they replied that they were aware of it but there was no fix - Strange how there is no fix when it worked before!

If the loss of the icons are an unwanted side-effect of the update, it can more than likely be fixed but if it's a "feature improvement" it's a retrospective one, and seems counter-intuitive for the user to lose this facility IMO... |

Presumably they just mean they don't have a fix for it and there will be no fix until the next firmware issue, obviously it is fixable. If this affects everyone then it is an amazing bug and makes you wonder if they test anything at all.
Incompetent idiots in my humble opinion.

I find the display annoying, especially when it moves across. I've blanked mine out with Black Tape, much better. i can just see the red power led peeking over the top of the tape, that's all I need.

I find this latest situation appalling. This is after all a consumer unit & you should not need to become expert in the demarcation lines twixt Freesat & Humax. I'm still considering whether to downgrade or not.
I have noticed in between reboots that once it gets past the initial startup that it seems a tad quicker (or is this wishful thinking?). The missing icons are just an inconvenience but something I wish could be restored. Are there any other options to Humax for Freesat? Or is it all Freesats fault? |

The new Humax Freesat/freetime boxes i.e. 1100s have no display at all (same as my Humax Freeview 2000T).
This is the future, so I would get used to not having those icons. Speaking personally I don't know why people need to know if the box is recording or not - presumably some sort of comfort blanket? If I set the planner then I know it's recording. Let's put it this way in 2 years of ownership I don't think it's let me down yet. |

There is LED under the front of the 1100S shows red when on and blue when recording. I don't know if it is used when recording in sby. Perhaps someone with a box could confirm.

Actually it is the present
Barry on My Humax Forum has said "A fix for the icon issue, and edimax dongle support has been engineered, along with improvements for the reboot problem. No news on when it will be released, currently being tested, watch this space. " |

No not the future, if the future included the present it would make everything very predictable.
Software available for download for those that want it. Not generally released yet. The predicted future is now the present

I upgraded two days ago. Today I lost channel 119 (ITV HD) from favourites & EPG Planner, this has not happened before. A 10 minutes delayed reboot cured the problem.. However, I had to re-enter all the timers. No other channels appear to have been affected. Could this be a fault of the new software ? |

I didn't lose itv HD but today did lose all the planned recordings on that channel. I had to re enter them all. I have not upgraded to the new software.

I'm not going mad then !!
Did you happen to have ITV HD as a favourite, if so, did that favourite disappear ? |
