    EPG for some time ahead

    Thanks again for all help given. I met with partial success but when we returned I found that there was nothing showing in the EPG for HD channels so I did an auto retune and all is well now. Perhaps the attched file might offer some explanation to those who understand this better than I.

    EPG for some time ahead

    No, what it's doing is waking to prevent the Humax code looking for updates (which it won't find). If you look on RS you'll see a "last seen" activity monitor – that will show you whether the rs package has taken the opportunity to phone home during the time it was supposed to be awake...

    EPG for some time ahead

    That's excellent and very clear, many thanks. Re to auto power off thingy, it's never been a problem for me as I always switch off the Hummy after use and have not yet watched anything long enough for it to activate itself but I take your point. To test my understanding I've used the rs site to...

    EPG for some time ahead

    Thanks, BH, "much easier just to use the RS website as your means to remotely schedule recordings." Is it really that simple, I have an account at RS and I can see my EPG without IP address or anything like that? Leave Hummy on and access on 2 Sep or after and it will record the series...

    Ok, RS found and installed. For progress so far, I'm awarding myself a glass (or 3) of wine. Tomorrow I'll see if I can make it all happen. Thanks to all for all so far. David

    EPG for some time ahead

    Wow, 3.13 (build 4028). Great, where do I go from here? I'm grateful for any and all helping hands here. I've found the auto switch off and that seems clear enough.

    EPG for some time ahead

    Thanks, MM, I'm pretty sure I did install the firmware but it's such a long time ago I've forgotten what to do with it. If you can spare some time to hold my hand I'd be grateful - how can I tell if the firmware is the right one? Simple words please for this geriatric trying to keep his aged...

    Sorry, should have said that the aim would be to set the EPG to record the whole series.

    EPG for some time ahead

    Greetings to those with much better knowledge of the system than I. Here's the challenge: On Thursday we leave for a holiday in France [no messages of symapthy please ;o) ] On 8 September the Rugby World Cup starts and I'd like to record the games on ITV. I'll have a laptop with me so: Is it...

    Humax portal problem

    Thanks, BH, my Hummy does just about everything I want - nice to know that it's not (yet) in a hospice.

    Humax portal problem

    Hoping to find advice with my latest "problem". Frequently, but not every time, when I go to the BBC i-player via the portal, it stalls and the Hummy goes right back to a restart. Usually it works on the second attempt and occasionally it takes 3 tries. Once started it runs without fault, no...

    Thanks again, all done and it sounds good.

    Audio through "hi fi" amp

    Thanks to you all, I'll now have the confidence to buy a length of optical string ;o) and my speakers are either side of the TV so the sound will be "natural".
