The 9200 is not like the 8100PVR, it is more like the 9100PVR
Tanya

Hi Tanya

Yes you are correct it looks like I pasted the wrong link

At least we know they have experience with PVR's both satellite and terrestrial,so hopes of an update for bugs in the latest 9200T should be quite promising.

Thanks Northern Soul

I could understand your sentiments if all of us were suffering from the radio problem, but as I have stated it works for me.

@Barry

Just a couple of questions please.

1)Did you select the programme from the radio EPG by pressing OK and it going into scheduled rcording by being reserved?

2)Or did you manually enter the recording in the schedule?

only option 2 will work for me

Thanks NS

I'll be trying this out tonight as well, but as mine has not thrown a wobbly before I am integued as to whether a bug has indeed been discovered that affects indeed all machines

Option 1: via the EPG and OK button, and then to St/by

Can I just make something clear:

If you are having problems with your PVR eg

Lock-ups
Missed recordings
Inaccurate Time displayed

etc etc

It is important that you make contact with Humax.. and I would suggest by Telephone. The UK support number is printed in the manual.

nice one, thanks i did think about re-updating with the same firmware but unfortunately the referncerence f/w is not available yet. Have tried several factory resets but no joy. thanks for the tip though, manual schedule - i will try. But should i simply swap this at comet (if i can that is) for ease. Actually come to think of it i did rememeber switching off the box after a failed attemp to transfer a pc video to the humax directory that wasnt the mp3 or the photo folder. The directorys was then filled with grabbled names/directorys and the box froze after removing the usb cable. i then switched off the unit via the rear black switch...........................

............Right just tried it .... manual schedule record still does not record (when in standby), will try my best to swap it at comet - unless anyone does have the current firmware i can re-update my box with.

Well, as I mentioned earlier my 9200T continues to lock up/freeze. I've emailed Humax and called them several times all with no luck, they just say leave a message and they'll get back to me, but they haven't. At a loss at what to do now. Bit disappointed to be honest.

Richard

When your 9200 locked up, which channel was it on at the time?
My boyfriend's one lock-up three times last night on ITV2!
Tanya

Funny you should say that but I called Turbosat where I bought it and their "test" model keeps locking on ITV2 - mines doing it on ITV1.
Turbosat told me though that it's very important that all these incidents are forwarded to Humax so that they do something about it.

Was about to call Turbosat on this, many thanks for info, will email Humax directly instead.
Tanya

You should tell Turbosat also as they are collating info and sending it on to Humax - ask to speak to James as he'll be interested in the ITV2 stuff.

will cc email to them
thanks

...mine wont record anything in standby, let alone radio. Also has to re-load the EPG when you turn the box back on from standby mode.

That normal?

Cheers,
Adam

If you have set a programme to be recorded in the schedule,the 9200 should turn on and record it from standby mode. Double check you have entered it correctly you should see a small timer clock in the display.

It takes ages for the EPG to load everyone seems to have this problem and it looks like a software update is needed to save the EPG to hard disc and cure the problem

Yes when you go to stanby the EPG is lost

Just a suggestion try a cold reeboot by turning the 9200 off at the rear black switch.

Wait at least 60 seconds before you pwr it on again though!

Apart from not being able to set a radio recording from the epg (I have to enter it manually) mine is working a treat, not frozen up yet and not missed any TV shedulded recodings

Thanks Northern Soul

Thanks for the idea ... I've spoken to Humax today and they suggested doing a 'reset to default' settings and a hard reboot - will give it a shot tonight.

..the EPG not being stored thing is madness, they REALLY need to get that sorted ASAP.

Otherwise, like yourself, I'm pretty happy with it

Cheers,
Adam

Yeah, i'm shure Humax will get it sorted soon, they seem to be a good company. I'm happy with mine, but i find the Video Editing very poor - the << >> edit controls don't work!!

There also seems to be some variation between machines, mine loads within 15 seconds and the Full EPG in 5-10 min. I have had 1 crash on the first day i got it but its been ok now for the last 5 days.

Still no go ... I think the 2 are related.

When I schedule a recording (it's in the list) and put into standby the timer icon (clock) shows but as the clock doesn't seem to be set in standby for some reason it never records.

I've done a full default reset and cold reboot .. still no time on the clock. Another call to Humax I think

Cheers,
Adam

Hi

Before I report this as a possible bug, can anyone else reproduce this error or suggest a different way of deleting unwatched recorded programs?

We have had a couple of occasions when programs that have been recorded, and which we have then deleted (and appeared to delete OK and disappear from the recorded program list) have then re-appeared on the recorded program list at a later date/time. Thinking about it, I think these have both been occasions when we have recorded something but then decided not to watch the recording i.e. seems to occur when deleting unwatched recordings. Should these be deleted differently, or are these just odd glitches, or I am I imagining this!?

I have deleted unwatched programmes no problem. Is it possible that when scheduling the programmes you have gone in and set them for daily, in which case you would need to delete the programme from the recording schedule otherwise it would appear each day - If you have padded both sides of the programme as well it may not have a name beside it in the recorded programmes list.

I emailed them about not being able to record radio but still haven't had a response. Mind you, they'll probably just tell me to reset to default going on the other responses I've had so far

I'm really not sure their customer service is up to scratch, and I would be surprised if they fix any of these problems we're having.....they just don't seem interested to me (in my eyes an auto-response telling you to reset the box is not good customer support) and 8000T users seem to suggest that many of the problems we are seeing are long term issues that they have never addressed so why is anything gonna be different with the 9200T?

Hi, everyone, just posting as had my first crash went to box this morning and it had locked up just said REC on display. Yesterday, when the clock had not set to right time, I did like most of you, went into time settings, and set to GMT 0.00. Duovisio was then displaying correct time, so I then thought that all set recordings would record correctly. Wrong. This morning, had to reboot after lock up, then when I looked in the recorded list, they had all recorded one hour late, and this was probably the reason for the lock up. This has annoyed me, as you all know, everyone disses the Panny, but it automatically set the right time as soon as I swiched on Yesterday, and I am annoyed now, if I had also set the recordings on the Panny which I didn't do, they would be there in their entirety!!! Also, then tried to ring Humax on the phone, no joy, I kept getting a message ' the recipient has put the phone down' so I have sent them an e-mail. This is not good enough for customer service.

Hi,

Apologies if this has been mentioned before. Last night I got my first real problem –

While recording A.I. on BBC3 and watching Austin Powers on Channel4, I had scheduled a recording of Lost on E4. Got a message on the screen (didn’t read what it said) when Lost started recording. When the message went away the sound on Channel4 went away. I pressed the volume up button and the sound came back (sound was at about 80%) on channel 4. Unfortunately when I went back later to look at Lost, it had recorder with no sound at all.

Is anyone else getting this problem? Is this the same as the TV Record Simultaneous recording Bug mentioned by givemestella?

I have recorded a lot of programs since Thursday with no problem, but this was the first time I have recorded two programs at once and managed to watch another on the same mux as one of the recordings.

Thanks,
okioki

Tried that this morning Barry, trouble is they aren't answering, just putting phone down.(Note my post 48 on this thread)
