My fathers humax failed on him yesterday. When switch on from standby, the scolling bars did not show in the display, it just showed the date. Then nothing would work, no picture on the screen, no change in the display.

After several reboots by switching off at the rear, this morning it sprung back into life, he set up some recording for this evening and left it alone.

This evening he tried to watch the Humax, but it's reverted back to just displaying the date, and although the display indicactes that it's recording, there is no picture or audio going to his tv. It appears to have died again.

Has anyone had any experience of this problem? but maybe more importantly, does anyone know how to resolve it?

Thanks in anticipation.

Take it back to the shop and get a new one.

I would contact humax m8 ,this is just a Guess but I would say its either the loader that is corrupted or the power supply on its way out.

A good tip is to always wait 60 seconds before you power on again from the rear black switch,turning on again too soon can corrupt the loader this has happened to me a few times with the humax satellite reciever range.

If it is the loader you could try downloading the loader & firmware again using Wind4oak,but check with humax first.

Good Luck
