Even if a unit is without fault picture playback and recording can be affected by interference from nearby electrical sources such as fridges switching on and off, mains spikes etc. However an intermittent 20 second period of freezing and pixilation followed by normal playback on all recordings...

In case you haven't tried it try recording a programme while watching it at the same time. It will confirm that you have playback (only) problems if nothing occurs during the transmission. It may be a component breaking down (getting hot under load) or a sign of hard disc failure in which case a...

If you registered it with Humax there's a two year guarantee on the T1000. I would be heading back to your place of purchase as your problem indicates an inherent fault which entitles you to a new one if it's under six months old as it's up to the seller to prove it wasn't faulty when you bought...

I recorded that particular programme (Winter Hill transmitter) too and it replayed perfectly. I gather when you replay the scene the same disturbance occurs which points to the original transmission as the problem as the hard disc records exactly what is sent to it. Make sure you have the...

Freeview (and Freeview HD) signal strength is ideal at 75% and quality should be 100% for trouble free viewing. Possible picture pixilation and sound outages may be due to bad connections in your setup, poor quality coax and possibly water in the down lead. A faulty distribution box is rare but...
