FoxSat-HDR Problem or Bug ?
Hi
![]() Took delivery of HDR just before Christmas overhaul impressed with what it offers. However I have noticed the following occurs if I set the default on power saving options. The box powers down OK into power-save mode dimmed backlight and red neon without clock displayed but then decides to come back on by-itself at random times into bright backlight red neon which leaves it in a non boot lockout mode which can only cured by a switch off from mains. If i choose to override power save mode which produces backlight and clock IT STAYS OFF and can be booted correctly. Is this a software bug or hardware problem that other users have encountered ?

Sounds like a duff box. Try a factory reset before contacting/returning it to the retailer...

Stating the obvious here, but is it doing it when you arent recording stuff because thats what it does when you have a recording set when you are in standby mode.

If that is the case then you can power it on fully by pressing the power button on the remote.
When I first got my box I had thought it had hung in this mode until someone on the forum pointed told me about the above |

A big weakness with Humax are its manuals & User Guides. To put it politely they are crap so a lot is down to trial and error in finding how things work or are supposed to work.

Power-save mode dimmed backlight and red neon without clock displayed.
Try pressing any one of the channel buttons, thats what I do, and the Humax responds in 2 to3 secs every time. |
