I've just two wishes for the 9300:
1. HDMI output to add black bars on the sides for 4:3 broadcasts. 2. Make the EPG populate faster.

An option to have recordings delete automatically after a chosen number of days. For example, the choice could be:
A. 7 days B. 14 days C. 28 days D. 56 days E. Disabled (default) There could be a preferences setting which would apply to all recordings, and also the option to override this on an individual recording basis at the time of scheduling and also retrospectively. If the defaults were set to "disabled", it shouldn't upset anyone as it wouldn't change how things worked. This would help greatly with clearing out old recordings that are probably never going to be watched. |

There's only one thing I'm really after on my new 9150T.
Allow me to alter the recording times of a programme on series link without losing the link. As much as I was fed up with TopUp TV's Thomson box they did at least offer you that functionality. |

I'd just like to see some of the Foxsat HDR functionality like playlists, so I can group all my movies together, all CSI episodes together etc. Currently going through a huge list of recordings on a 320gb HD is not ideal.
Don't understand why they have this functionality on their flagship Freesat box but not their flagship Freeview box (9300) |

My grandparents have highlighted a missing feature for the 9300 and 9150:
- An indicator to show which programmes in the recordings list have been watched. |

I think if they did this I would want a simple (one button) way to set/reset the flag, and another easy way to say I had watched it but wanted to keep it for a bit - and then a way to delete all the watched programmes. |

Could be difficult to define what is meant by 'watched' as you might just view a bit to see what it is like, or watch the whole programme but stop before the end commercials/trailers/padding.

Easy - on Sky it says how much you've watched - just show a percent watched bar to the right.... |

My no one wishlist item
EPG saved to HD and automatically updated as I get really fed up that it disappears every time I put the device into standby and it takes so long to repopulate.
![]() I know this has been suggested before, but it is the ONE thing that would make my life easier and the 9200 so much better. |

Curiously, and I can't explain why, I don't find this such a problem as I did when I first bought my 9200. Perhaps one just adjusts to the way it is and, in any case, mine seems to populate fairly quickly now?
Also while recording from standby and, usually, for fifteen minutes before a scheduled recording so if you switch from standby in these cases the EPG should already be there. |

The only missing feature I need on my 9300 is the ability to create folders/owners and allow me to choose which the recording goes into.. this would mean I could record post 9pm program and know the kids wont be watching them. Also it would mean I dont have to search through pages of CBBC programs to find my programs

Why is the VCR input just a "pass-through"? I've got 3 other machines - Sony, Panasonic and Philips - and I can record from external sources on all of them. I thought before getting a Humax it would be a sophisticated machine. But the menus are reminiscient of a kid's playbook. Maybe I should partx the 9200 for 9300? Or are they all as basic?

Thanks Martin
Obviously I can't use it as a backup area, then. Oh well, Reorganisation reorganisation, I suppose!

What's been annoying me considerably lately (about my 9300) is the fact that when a series record has finished (the last episode in the series has been broadcast), the series record remains in your scheduled list and has to be manually deleted. Also, if a series episode isn't on for a couple of weeks (as happened with a few series over christmas), the series record breaks and it just sits there on the last one it recorded.

It will be deleted after 13 weeks. The problem is that the Freeview+ specification doesn't include any method to signal to the PVR that the end of series has been reached.

I would be happier if the Humax put temporarily unresolved series links at the end of the list rather than cluttering up the display at the top.

I find it annoying to be constantly reminded of a programme that is skipping a week.

I would like the ability to switch the EPG into a 'list view' where all the programs on a single channel are listed on one page.

* Revert to saving the recording schedule when an Automatic Re-Tune is run. Since the May update for the 9200T the loss of the whole schedule during a re-tune is a real pain. Channels don't often move but if they do, I would rather have a couple of wrong entries than lose everything. The re-tune process could easily finish with a message advising "Please verify your Recording Schedule as channels may have been re-numbered or deleted" or words to that effect. In an ideal world the re-tune would re-map the scheduled recordings by comparing channel name as well as number but that may not be possible. At the very least the next version should warn the user that all schedules will be lost and give them an option to cancel!
* A screensaver function for listening to radio would be appreciated. * In Programme search, add Sort abc to the sort options. |

Not sure if this has been added yet but this is one of my main bugbears.
When watching a programme which is also recording, I am watching it 10 minutes 'later than live' (I paused it for example) and the programme finishes recording, the point at which I was watching is lost and the 9300T just displays the next programme. It would be preferable if the end of file was written to the HD and the unit continued playing the channel albeit with the 10 minute 'delay' thereby not requiring me to have to select the recorded programme in the list and fast forward to the point I was at when the live programme finished. Again apologies if this has been covered before. Unless I am being very dim and not using the box properly I can't believe it hasn't. |
