Just to confirm that I NEVER had any problem at boot up, it always happened some thirty minutes or so after I powered up and then the remote function would work/not work intermittently throughout the day. If I became impatient for it to start working again, switching off the unit and rebooting...

Update: Finally had box replaced by Humax under guarantee and all is working well even with the old remote. I guess this suggests it was the previous box and not the remote that was defective. Will post again if the problem reoccurs but all seems well now. Thanks to everyone for their kind...

Thank you for your assistance. Content sharing has always been set to off.

Just to confirm that I do not have my box connected by ethernet/wifi at all. Still having same issue with remote locking up then mysteriously starting to work again if left for a while.

Update 31st December 2013. Still having same problem and the box is almost unusable in this condition. Support from Humax has thus far been non existent. I spoke to them on their 0844 number (grrrr) and the representative said he was sure it would be a faulty chip in the remote and promised to...

I am having exactly the same problem as Paul @ #1. So weird that the remote control unit usually starts working again if left alone for a half hour or so, how does that make sense? Just to confirm that the remote still controls my Sony Bravia TV and Sony Blu Ray player even when it has stopped...
