Most of the recordings I make on BBC HD don't play back in Dolby Digital (DD).
The interval between programmes does play back in DD, but switches back to stereo when the programme starts.... Anyone else had this experience? |

Most of BBC HD's output is only AC 2.0 (Stereo) not a great deal is in DD 5.1

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 !

Hmmm, WRT the BBC HD in DD, when the 'i' button is pressed giving prog info, it does say it's in DD...

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 Yep i was trying to remember from memory (at work) only 6 presses.Its when you use the OPT+ option there are more button presses. I got my twin cable connected today and once reset it downloaded the new software.Had a quick try of 2 recordings and playback and was ok. |

Perhaps Humax made the mistake of even offering the none FreeSat mode on this product.
Or trying to support a single LNB feed or offering the LNB output. All features, issues for the software writers and that most Joe Public users will never need. Automan. |

It doesn't matter how much you shovel the praise on, Humax aren't going to be giving you a free one guys!
![]() But, just in case, I'd like to add my sincere appreciation - it's very healthy to see a company this responsive and honest. |

Been recording Hollyoaks Later all this week. I've watched the last episode I have recorded this afternoon and deleted it and of course the folder is still there however if I check the Radio recordings folder it all shows an empty Hollyoaks Later folder?

Is there an official way of reporting these issues to Humax for resolution or are we hoping that they're reading this thread and taking note of the problems? Or are people ringing them up?

Yesterday morning I switched over to non-freesat mode to watch Bloomberg for a few minutes. I turned the box off and headed off to work.
When I returned, I switched the box back to freesat mode and checked that all my scheduled reservations were in place. They were! I left the box switched on and when I later returned to it I found that the first two scheduled recordings had been completely missed. They were still there in the schedule but the time had passed. I can only conclude that if you switch from freesat mode to non-freesat mode and then back again, you must have been back into standby and rebooted in freesat mode for the scheduling to continue. That's what worked for me. I turned it off and sure enough the next recording worked as expected. I looked in the schedule later and the two that had been missed were now gone but new reservations had been set for the next programme in the series. I've not had chance to replicate this so it could be user error!

I had my first recording failure tonight when the box completely missed Dead Set (which was set to series record and did so successfully a couple of nights ago). No clashes, the box was in standby, it just missed it somehow.
Mind you, I'm still on the 1.00.01 software of course so am not bothered by this as Bob_Cat has already pointed out that there are bugs in this area in the factory software. (Luckily, I noticed just in time to add the late repeat on E4+1 which the box recorded okay -- I was watching carefully!) |

I take it then, that the software cannot be updated via USB?

My box was on again at 03:00am so no icons again ![]() It recorded Space 1999 with Sign Language (the fault of the ITV4 Series Link I suppose). While going to delete it I note the option says Quote:
Delete a file
Perhaps Delete Recording or just Delete many be more accurate.There is no choice of which file you want to delete.... Automan. |
