I made a folder called films and was also able to delete it without a problem. Disk was empty.

Why does it take so many button presses to delete stuff upto 9-10 while my Humax 9200 only takes 3 !

Weird!

Please tell me this isn't true! Surely it can't be that difficult

I think he must be including 'cursor up' commands!

I have noted that sometimes I have to press the power on button twice to get it to power up....

Also I have no new icons for yesterday's recordings.

My unit was recording Highlander between 00:50~03:01 so I guess it is in that time frame that the icon creation process runs if the unit is idle...

Automan.

Another small point which may be the program providers fault....

Starsky & Hutch is back on but the '&' sign gets displayed & in the program title.

On Zone Thriller BTW.

Automan.

still waiting..............

But fascinating reading about these so-called 'bugs' which don't really seem all that problematic and I am sure Bob will report any that ARE a big problem to Humax for a later firmware update.

So thanks for giving me a preview of what to expect.

I am also keen to get the Hard Disk upgraded to 1TB too when I get it.

I see the one mentioned is already down in price due to Vat cut I believe. Excellent.

Also, can anyone tell me how much diskspace a HiDef recording takes up? eg xMB per hour.

Thanks again.

Barry.

I recorded the Bill on ITV HD wich transmits at 10.7 Mbits which gave me a file size of 4.7GB (1 hour episode)

An hour on BBC HD at 16.3 Mbits gives me a file of just under 7 GB

Hope that helps. (It does vary slightly)

Don't have the box in front of me - so may have missed out a button or two,bu t basically there are 2 cases for deleting:

1) If you've just been watching something and have just hit STOP

you click OK to select the item you've been watching
cursor down 2 to the delete option
click OK - get a do you really want to delete dialog
cursor left to Yes (defaults to no)
click OK
wait a few seconds while it actually deletes it

So that's 'only' 6 by my count


Now that's bad enough, BUT you can't currently delete anything if the box is recording. So in that case you need to delete things at a later point:

2) Deleting things at a later point
Click the button to get to list of recordings
Navigate to the recording (if it's a series recording it's in a folder so you need to navigate to the folder click OK then navigate down to the episode)
Then delete as for case (1)
Repeat as above until you've cleared out all the things you've watched - so yes this is quite painfully slow.

Humax really need to allow Deletion at any time, and ought to have a way of showing all viewed recordings in a single list so that you can delete each one with a single button press (like you can on a Sky+ box).

Take it there is no notion of selecting mulitple recordings and then doing a delete on them. Guess I've been spoilt by "MyStuff" EPG on the Topfield 5800 !

Yes there is - you need to go into the File Manager, and then edit mode. That gives you the checkboxes that allows you to select multiple files for deletion (or move/copy)

Yes there is, use file manager, and yellow (IIRC) now select items you wish to delete/copy.

I'd certainly say that if this is the "best" that we can come up with in a Bugs thread then Humax have done a sterling job and ..... want mine to arrive like now !

You are right there. Not a single proper 'bug' in this thread yet!

FAQ: http://www.hummy.org.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=4869

Yes I must agree the unit has no "show stopper" bugs.

Well done Humax

Most of the items in this thread I would imagine could be easily fixed / changed with an easy way to delete recordings anytime being high on the list...

Automan.

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned or asked somewhere-
If you have a series link and want to remove several episodes within that series' folder, can you just delete the folder rather than having to go into it to select all the episodes?

This is my "show stopper" bug

Except for the fact that you can't do a software upgrade with one LNB!

Thanks Snoods.

I will use 6GB an hour as a good average figure then.

Seems like the 1TB upgrade is a necessity then for HD recording.

Incidentally I didn't know the Bill was transmitted in HD.

You're welcome Barry, it was just the 2 hour specials that were in HD, not the regular programme.


A couple of grabs from it down the page a wee bit.

Here's a real, but minor bug...

I made a recording from BBC HD (A Little Later - 26th 19:50)
but when I replay the recording, the "i-plate" shows info for "Raven" (the preceding programme)
I did have the recording set to start 2 minutes early, but the i-plate info never changes.

All other recordings have the correct i-plate.
This will be a difficult one to diagnose!

No, it's not difficult at all; happens with a lot of digital recorders. The programme info i grabbed at the time that the recording starts, not constantly checked all the way through. So if you start a recording early, you'll get the info for the programme that's current at the time.

Er, deleting all your schedule when you do a manual scan could qualify for that! However, I am not going to do a manual scan until the next update!

Someone mentioned auto-management of deleting items. NO THANKS! An easier way to remove items would be good though.

Yes. The File Manager allows that.
