Your date above (one day younger) isn't consistent with your reported date of the first disk. Did you mean 18/8/16 ? My disk arrived a couple of days ago. It certainly looks new, pristine inside a sealed Western Digital sleeve. The label shows date of manufacture 17 Aug 2016 , which seems...

I lost access for a few hours, no error reported but perhaps I didn't wait long enough. A check with "Downdetector" confirmed that the site was down but all seems well now.

One is heading in my direction, thanks to your post. I suspect that genuine new ones are rare nowadays.

I usually dump +1 channels using Tunefix but I can see that the EPG for ITV3+1 and ITV4+1 consists of just two entries per day: 04:00 to 06:00 Teleshopping 06:00 to 04:00 Programmes start at 4am I came across this explanation "ITV makes surprise Freeview change" which seems to shed light on...

Me too.

No news yet from "greatnetwork.com" This topic has moved on a bit, but that's fine, so..... On the WebIf EPG screen it would be really useful if a Favourites Channels List could be selected, instead of having to go backwards and forwards between Settings/EPG and the EPG screen. Is there any...

Update Today, with no input from me, things have changed dramatically which suggests that "greatnetwork.com" have been doing some housekeeping. Yesterday, using the Humax UI to search for Genre: Movies, the situation was: 321 entries for channels called "GREAT!....." 79 entries for...

Thanks to everyone for help and suggestions with this. I plan to delete the GREAT!* channels from the "main" HDR, so that the standard UI can still be used sensibly, and leave them on another HDR which I normally access via WebIf. It is a pity that genre search using the standard UI ignores a...

Agreed. For example I can see that "GREAT Movies" - "Programmes return at 6am" is classified as "Film/Drama" I was using the HDR's remote control to search the EPG listing on the TV screen via the Hummy's own UI. "Guide -> Find -> Genre -> Movie" used in this way seems to ignore Favourite...

I've created a favourite list and selected it. The EPG display correctly omits the offending channels but a search using "Guide -> Find -> Genre -> Movie" still displays results from the full channel list, unfortunately.

I'm fortunate to have more than one HDR. Most days I check the "main" one for upcoming movies using the standard Humax interface ( Guide -> Find -> Genre -> Movie). The standard interface can list a maximum of 400 entries but the limit is often exceeded thanks to the annoying practice of...

When the (manual) restore was attempted, the 1st entry in the schedule list appeared on the screen, although I think it was truncated. Then nothing. No error message and the process ended, with nothing in the schedule list after reboot. I'm guessing that the latest backup had been corrupted...

Me too. I make that the 4th time this year on that particular HDR. The frequency of these occurrences seems to be increasing (I can't recall even one in the 1st 8 years or so of its operation). Is anything known about what is making these events more frequent? My auto restore also failed, as...

Whenever I have done this kind of thing on a PC I would use (in your example): -f 160+140 It is important that the video component is the first one specified. The downloads are done to separate files, combined afterwards by YT-DLP to a new file and the originals deleted. I think it is that...

I find that the amount each press of the the buttons skip depends on the length of the recorded program, longer program = bigger increments.
