Humax HDR rubbish!!!!
For some stupid reason or other it keeps not doing the R bit of its name, so far it has forgetten this week
![]() Lark Rise To Candleford tonight - not recorded. ![]() A few programmes off hte info channel - not recorded. ![]() HDR was off off not in warm off like it should be when waiting to record. What the hell is it playing at and when will it be fixed? ![]() So far due to the failings I have had to resort to obtaining and BT Vision replay TV, and simple miss the episode

You don't say what was happening to the STB when the recordings were missed.
Do you have both tuners connected? and if so have you checked that you have a good signal from both cables? |

Humax HDR rubbish!!!!
The Humax FOXSAT-HDR PVR is a new model and "early adopters" understand that it will have "bugs" or "unwanted features".If you explain your problem succinctly then I'm sure that other owners will tell you if what you are trying to describe is a known "feature" and if they've found a workaround. However, the aggressive and incomprehensible approach may not be fruitful. |

The thing is connected to the LNB with two cables, it was told to recprd = set up on guide and the Info channel os the Info channel - somewhere in the 400s
HDR High Def Recorder or similar and it is a very unreliable device. Doesn't warm start stays completely off not waiting. Don't worry gone to Humax forum - last stop before a refund and building a DSAT tuner equipped PC |

Lark Rise to Candleford recorded fine for me just use the series link on EPG
I have experienced though the HDR not coming on when you press on button. The last time this happened was when I turned tv, HDR etc off at mains and then turn back on at main socket and when you press on button on HDR it hasn't come on the display changed slightly but it didn't say boot |

What is it with everyone on here? All collectively got out of the wrong side of the bed? OK it's not fantastic english, but the OP is perfectly comprehensible aside from the last sentence which doesn't really make a lot of difference to the point.
The HDR is not recording stuff it has been set for, and waits in the power-saving version of standby rather than the more conventional standby when - apparently - it shouldn't. Perhaps the power-saving version can be disabled completely? (I know it can on the Fox) Maybe that will assist? |

If it makes sense to you it could be due to reading all the Sun newspapers you pack into your larger suitcase! |

Martin, It's been reported in another thread that, if you perform a manual tune in non-Freesat mode, the existing schedule is lost. Have you perhaps done this? On the other hand if you've turned the box right off, ...
![]() Whether the schedule loss is a bug (I expected far more bugs as an early adopter) or a poorly documented feature, having experienced it myself, I now avoid manual tuning. Consequently, I have found the Foxsat-HDR recording schedule to be impressively effective and reliable. |

A coherent post would help too ![]() *Or maybe the OP just wanted a rant! |

Don't worry gone to Humax forum - last stop before a refund and building a DSAT tuner equipped PC You're condeming the whole of Humax production on the basis of one box when most of us have never had a serious problem. My hard drive is 87% full after Christmas - thats how many recordings I've made - 17 films, 3 animations / animated films, 7 programmes, 27 recordings total and thats only the ones I kept. Its only ever missed one. Its fully functional and as reliable as hell. Its an excellent box in my experience so far. |

BTW I also just checked, the box doesn't need to be in "warm up" in order to make a recording.
I've just set mine specially for you and turned it off at the box into low power mode - red light on the front. Its just started recording even though its in power save mode - red light still on, on the front but REC is lit and the box is active. Conclusion, you have a faulty individual box. Try a reset and firmware upgrade, if not return the box for a new one. |

Perhaps the OP was tuned into a non-Freesat channel when he put his box into standby?

The OP's post seemed clear to me. A bit mangled in places but the intent was obvious. Those of you suggesting that he improve his writing skills might want to improve your own comprehension skills
![]() It's a bit disturbing to see this thread. My 9200 has been forgetting timers (ie;removing the timer, not just ignoring it) since I got it this time last year. Humax have yet to issue a fix for this apparently known issue. If this is a bug with the new PVR then I hope you don't have to wait over 12 months for a fix. This is exactly why I won't buy any more Humax kit. They talk up a good story but personally I have yet to see any concrete action from them. |

Either that one box is faulty or its user error which wouldnt surprise me. |
