Thanks, a good suggestion. I had already done so a few times, so called Humax support to ask for advice. Chap called Conor was very helpful and patiently listened to me prattle on about all I had done. He asked for a factory default with HDD format as expected, and asked me to start a...

Ok, done. Just to note that after reconnecting the HDMI lead and stopping the recording, only the BBC recording appears in the media listing. This was the first one to be set recording. In addition, after stopping the recordings, the box is on channel 4 (for some reason) and saying that there...

Just retrying the BBC1 HD / SD test. Once the HD channel is set to record, and we swithch to the SD channel, there's no picture shown (though there is signal). I set it to record anyway, and surprise surprise it didn't record the SD channel at all even after letting it run a good few minutes...

Just an extra detail, perhaps only to prove that there is a genuine problem, when recording just one program and trying to watch a different channel, the message says that there is nothing being broadcast (though there is, this even happens on BBC News) but the information plate shows that there...

Thanks Black Hole, thorough reply as expected. Here are the results: In the service menu (very handy...) both tuners show as present and correct. Each are identified as 'Terrestrial' on 538000kHz, 8 MHz. Both show Stength 38-40%, Quality 100% The box is fed from an aerial booster. I don't...

Sorry, replied to wrong reply (newbie...) Good thought, just re-routed (it did cross over, but should it be so sensitive?) tested again, but no change. Thanks

Thanks, started to think the same. Extra information: Software is 1.03.11 date 10 Dec 2013, loader a7.34. From the firmware update list this software seems to be rare. Could this be the problem? The box has been installed two days, but not updated overnight. Tests: Live recording of channel...

I just received a Graded HDR Fox T2 as a 'Managers Special' from humaxdirect. It's great, but if I record 'live', i.e. there's a program on and I just press the red button to record, nearly all (but not all) of the rest of the channels show the 'no or bad signal' message. This is particularly...
