Yes this only works with instant recording. I hope that this is a new feature and not an accidental one (read: bug). And you should definitely encourage Humax to develop it. I can see where this would be very useful: in the process of recording you discover that they are running late (or later than your padding allowed), so you just add some time to the recording. Talking of recording, another feature I would like to see is an option to choose between 1) their current instant record (from where you are in the buff to the end of program plus padding), 2) retrospective recording (like the digifusion does, but with padding), or one touch recording like a tradiational VCR (incriments of 30 mins, and possibly infinite, though this might be a problem). |

Padding recordings on the fly
UPDATE: I have discovered that with instant recordings you can add time to the recording at a later time. Example: Set it recording a channel with the record button, change channel, watch a recording, go away and make a cup of tea, and come back later and switch back to the channel. Now hit record again (I am assuming that it is still recording) and you can add some extra time.
It would be really nice if this applied to all recordings, and would surely not be diffucult to impliment, and by Marc's account already is in the beta version. This sounds good, and I hope they keep this new feature in when they release the next update. |

Hello,
I'd like an option on the recording schedule for "WEEKDAY" programs. My wife records Neighbours and Home&Away Mon - Fri and with the DAILY option it means we record all manor of unwanted stuff on a Sat and Sun. I also record Time Team on a Sunday (using WEEKLY) and have had problems with it failing (because all the tuners being used by the DAILY schedule?). For simplicity of use I also think being able to delete a prog from the guide list of recorded progs is a very good idea. |

The enhancement would be to be able to extend, timer event recordings, is this the case? And it looks like this might be in the beta under test?? Woolfynorm |

My fault I think I got confused. It must have been an instant record that I was extending the time added to the recording and I cant on a 'timer' recording. It would be nice if that could be changed. At the moment I can only add more minutes on a timer recording once its under way by adding a new one, or stop and start the current timer recording adding extra with multiple presses of the record button.

As everybody else with Chase Play, storing EPG, etc, but also would like -
some sort of indication on the front of the machine that is has actually received the remote control signal. That would save staring at the machine whilst waiting for it to come out standby, wondering whether to press the button again, check the remote batteries, or just wait a bit longer. |

Good idea, Zorric, and could perhaps be linked with my earlier suggestion of a small LED to show when the machine is actually 'on' (my family keep leaving it on instead of returning it to stand-by!).

For the next generation hummy the thing I would hope for is.
An inetegrated DVD recorder/player with an option to record direct to DVD instead of HDD. The HDD to be made slot in so that we could have the option of buying extra HDDs as they become cheaper. |

The front panel display already shows this info!?! When its off its not illuminated. When its in standby the standby icon is present and the clock is displayed. When its on the channel and clock are displayed and the standby icon is not present. Quote:

This is before the loading screen comes on the TV and L00 appears on the display, which takes a few seconds to happen, some people have complained incorrectly that there is no indication until this, when of course there really is a slight indication if you care to look. |
