No, can't touch the LNB at all as it's a communal dish serving 8 apartments in the block. Only just replaced a Foxsat HDR though and that never had any problems, although obviously the LNB fault could be a new one. Why do you suspect the LNB? Power cycling the box wouldn't "cure" it if it were...

My 1100S has on a couple of occasions a week or so apart displayed this message - the TV screen goes blank, sound is lost and the message appears at the top of the screen in a white box for a few seconds, the TV then returns to normal for a few seconds, then the blank screen & message again...

Yes that's correct.

OK so maybe myposts are confusing becasue they relate to two separate incidents. To be clear, my first post related to an incidence of the box issuing a message on screen that it whad been inactive for 3hrs and would turn off if no activity, whilst playing a recording. The remote was used at...

This is whilst watching a freesat channel with no recording going on. Why would it go into standby, and if it did wouldn't that stop the channel being viewed?

Box still seems to work normally, but whilst doing so indicator light turns red-(sometimes) no pwer saving options set, any ideas?

Thanks, did find that option, but why if the box powers down, (or goes into standby) as a result of that setting, does playback continue? I was also able to select the EPG and change to a freesat broadcast all whilst the indicator light was showing red?

Whilst watching a recording the Humax put out a warning on screen that the box had been 'inacive for more than 3 hours' - it hadn't been inactive at all during that time - and I noticed the indicator light on the front was red, though I was able to continue viewing normally. Switching to a...

Downloaded and installed K-Lite Codec Pack and all OK now - thanks for your help.

Thanks for quick reply, it's not lack of audio though, that works, its lack of video, but I imagine the solution is the same, i.e. try VLC etc.

Having installed the custom firmware and got the Humax visible on my network, I have copied all the video content down onto a PC. Now totally confused as to what the various file types are and what I need to do to be able to play them! i.e. For each episode of a series there is a folder...

Thanks for your help and comprehensive response.

Yes definitely been through all the options on the menu and no 'picture off' setting. Not quite so pressing now as I have found that the screen is blank on most radio stations anyway, only the BBC ones display a banner with 'to activate screensaver press green' which results in the banner...

Can't see it on mine - this model was a Curry's only 'special' or so they told me

Sorry, model no. should have read UE40EH5000 - but no "picture off" setting on mine
