Thanks for your reply Yes, fresh retune & soft update yesterday. The odd thing, if you tune to a BBC radio channel - the Text works OK, using either the text button or the red button???
Has someone messed up?
The Box seems fine otherwise, picked it up at a car boot yesterday for £4 !! inc...
Further troubles (inc no video) with a T1000, were solved by replacing all the PSU capacitors. about 6 in all.
The latest software, whilst not being very nice to use - is more stable I feel, than the old version. They are great boxes - when they work!!
As they age, these boxes are showing various fault symptoms - provided you can work safely & solder correctly, these are easily fixable.
On the power supply board, there are 3 electrolytic notorious "Capxon" capacitors that fail with time. Bit surprised Humax used these rubbish caps!

Thanks for the tip, I used a spare 2.5" 750gb drive & yes, it works fine now - I drilled a couple of holes in the top of the old 3.5" drive holder to mount it.
Runs quieter too. Software upgraded as I had the Lan connected. I used the full maintenance mode to get the 2.5 hdd recognised...
Thanks for that idea - I will try it with my nearly ready (again) box - I gained a 2.5 drive from a dead Goodmans freeview box. Does the drive need any other preparation, or will the Humax format it OK?
I've decided, the Tuner is U/S - keeping eyes open for a scrap 9300 box, hopefully with a good tuner!
Thanks for your replies, no fighting on here please - there is enough silly nonsense in France & Syria, without more here:)
Thanks for your replies - does anyone know what the voltages should be coming from the PSU? a link to service info would be handy. Thanks. But I am wondering if this is a failed tuner module, I have no idea as to it's history, apart from it was working 2 months ago, as there were programmes...
Thanks for the info Monty. I recently purchased a heap of Humax boxes (& other stuff) at an auction, for £10 - one was a "Nearly ready" DTRT1000. Tried the reset options with another 3.5 HDD, nothing doing, it could not achieve it.
So in desperation, just before it was heading for the bin...
