It used to be the case that tuning to BBC1 (or 2), speeded things up, as they broadcast the EPG faster than some of the lesser stations. Might be worth a try.

Just an update on the above. I bought one of the drives from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ST3160215ACE-160GB-IDE-AV-Hard-Drive-Fast-Quiet-Reliable-Streaming-Gaming-HDD-/280816911147?pt=UK_Computing_HardDrives_RL&hash=item4161fe032b Installing it was easy (even the jumper was in the right...

Thanks Martin, I will do as you suggest.

You cannot have 'accurate recording' with padding, it's one or the other. I am reasonably happy with the 'accurate recording', it does sometimes cut off the end of a program, but that is only because it is startting the next recording.

Thanks Martin, that is what I thought, but it is nice to have confirmation.

Can someone please confirm that the reference to touching the power supply heatsink only applies if the mains is connected? Surely no one would attempt to work on the PVR when it is plugged in to the mains? Or is the power supply very, very sensitive to static and it is unadvisable to touch it...

Following the release of the new 1.00.26 software for the 9150 and 9300, I wrote to Humax asking about the 9200 and they replied: "Dear Michael, There are no software updates currently scheduled for the 9200. Tom Humax Customer Support" I just though you all might like to know that .... M
