Thanks for the explanations. Frankly I was very to see this auto retune for the first time.

I turned on my Humax today from standby only to find it had self-tuned itself which is the first time ever it has done this in over 9 years. Consequently all programmes set to record, had been lost. Can anyone explain this although I sort of knew something was going to happen today with Freeview...

Any road, Humax Direct now have them in stock and I refer to the proper one that one would find supplied with their new 5000t

Say no more, say no more! :D

I haven't got a 5000t yet but if I do then I require an additional remote control that's all. However they haven't as yet replied to an email at Humax Direct when the out of stock situation will be rectified.

Thanks but didn't really want to go down that route tbh.

When I buy AV equipment, I usually buy another OEM remote for my partner to use. Having searched the Internet I can't find anyone selling a remote control for the 5000t. Humax direct show out of stock for identical looking remote though labelled as for the 4000, which I thought was different...

I was referring to the 5000t, actually.

Some people have mentioned that they find the UI annoying inasmuch that behind the various screens one can see the current channel. Cannot the transparency percentage be changed to make the menus appear 'solid' and not have the distraction of the TV channel behind the various menus particularly...

Thanks for that information. My speed as measured by usual sources is between 16 an 17 Mbps download so no problems there and I have no data cap. Does anyone nowadays on home BB?

You're probably very capable and don't have anxiety issues but would you mind telling me whose router did you buy that would work OK.

I can see a BT WiFi-with-Fon in my list on nearby WiFi nodes but didn't realise it was mine! I am not worried about my electricity bill just the longevity of my BT Hub.

Yes of course, thanks. So obvious.

Surely low power standby stops Aerial Rf pass through? I haven't bought this kit yet but yes I would be able to check my router's stats. No idea re BT phon but can assure you that the three blue lights on my hub go dim after all WiFi components switched off indicating its own 'standby' mode in a...

Hi. I have asked a similar question, although not exactly the same. What I would like to know is whether the Humax 5000 is still 'connected' to my BT router, or rather keeping it on 'full power' when the former is in standby mode. I ask this as I usually only turn on my WiFi on my tablets...
