Good point. No, I didn't. But I will! Humax replied: I then explained that you had done that a few days ago so it was unlikely doing so would change anything. Let's see what happens.

It does. I had a feeling they'd suggest this. It's not losing the schedule that bothers me in trying it, it's having to set up favourites and reorder everything again, and after having had the box innocently pop up with a suggestion to search for new channels, choosing 'yes' and wondering what...

Humax say this:

Thanks for that Luke. Confirms what has been suspected. I assume watching the highlights would be similar to watching them through the iPlayer, and there is no issue with that, so the problem seems to be processing the live feed. I find it hard to believe that it's just our 2 boxes, and so you...

Makes sense. Would be good for someone to try theirs and see what happens - 10 minutes should be more than enough. I have sent something to Humax. Will post their reply when I get it.

Within a few minutes, sometimes almost immediately, the picture freezes, the whole box crashes, and then reboots, as if just taken out of standby. 4 times in a row yesterday as I attempted to watch the snooker this occurred before I just went onto the red button instead. No problem with the BBC...

So could it be a freeview EPG issue and not a hummy one?

Since updating the recent SW update, what was always fully populated the moment I went to look at it after turning it on, now has bits missing - itv, ch4, some of the others, here and there, sometimes a bit of the next day or the one after that. It's like just how it used to be on my old 9200...

Just needed to be put into standby and powered back on again! Arghh!

I've connected the Humax via ethernet. I can see the connection is there via my browser and via the Humax internet setting showing it has an assigned IP address. Yet, when I hit 'TV portal' all I get is cannot connect to network - check connection. Any ideas?

Agreed, and therein lies the problem. They need a couple of people who will actually use the box where it's intended to test it in a real life situation. Don't they bother with such testers? This interests me based on how I actually use it.

You'd think, after all this time making these boxes, something as basic as this just wouldn't be there. I wonder if the people who create the software ever use the boxes they work on? Surely anyone who lives with one of these a while would get a sense of what could be improved or know what needs...

So, I just wanted to see whether there were any new channels, so set it to auto search for them. I used to have a 9200 and would do this now and again just to see. Well, after doing this, all my favourites were gone, as well as every scheduled recording! Took me ages to set it all up again. WTF...
