So far as I have gathered, it downloads EPG data from web sources.

An update, of sorts ... I have been looking seriously at the Miraclebox triple-tuner (http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/Hybrid-Cable-Terrestrial-Digital-HD-Receivers/Miraclebox-Linux-HD-Hybrid-Cable-Terrestrial-Receivers/Miraclebox-Premium-Ultra-HD-3x-dvb-c-t-t2) but haven't yet bought one...

Well, on 21 May I said "I'll only know whether 'stand-by and wake-up' works when I leave it unattended for a few days, but I'll try it now with fingers crossed and little optimism!" My lack of optimism was justified: I haven't been away and it's been accessed every day, but yesterday it failed...

Well, it may be a hang-over from Topfield habits, where it was generally safer to leave it on and not rely on it coming on when programmed to do so. But on the Toppy you could (and I did) switch off the time shift buffer. For one holiday, I did leave it in stand-by, but it still failed. I'm...

Thanks for the prompt reply - which I don't understand :confused: . I don't have a daily wake-up set - but it's permanently on anyway. Whether or not the clock is drifting, I can't say, because when I come back, the machine is showing the currently tuned channel but unresponsive to anything...

Well, I did a factory reset - and then I did a factory reset with disk format anyway. I then put everything back as it was (I think!). As long as I keep using it every day there's no problem. But I've just come back from five days away, and nothing has been cured. Still on but zombie-like on my...

Thanks. I had read that before, and it was as a result of reading it that I had decided to leave the machine on permanently while away. It still failed. It also seemed to keep recording series-linked timers when it neglected one-off timers. I'm on: Web interface version: 1.2.2-8 Custom firmware...

Thanks - I'll try. It's on all the time. I did try for one two-week holiday switching it off (standby) and letting it wake up to record as necessary. It still failed to record anything for the second week and was zombie-like on my return.

This topic (apart from that latest diversion ;) ) is what's just brought me here - and may be about to part me from the Humax. I've grown accustomed - though it's not acceptable - to the PVR going catatonic for the second of two weeks away. Now I've just come back after two DAYS away, and...

I've recently arrived here as a refugee from the Topfield, and I'm impressed by the customised firmware and web interface - many thanks to all who made them possible. I use Digiguide as well and, as Mike says, it's a boon when planning ahead when holidays are coming up. But entering timings from...
