I succeeded in replacing my drive and all is now working.
Thanks Black Hole, but I just made a note of my settings/packages/etc and set them up again.
Unfortunately I missed some recordings and wondered how to get them off the old drive. I tried connecting it to my PC but cannot get access to...
Disk realloc sector count is: 608 (was 58)
I've ran fix-disk, in maintenance mode, but the realloc count (as can be seen above) has gone up and the problems have increased.
I've decrypted and backed up my recordings to PC.
I've ordered a new drive - Seagate ST1000VM002 Pipeline HD 1 TB
I would...

I've solved the portal issue by installing the new portal. The other 2 issues remain.
Improved the EPG performance, slightly, by doing 'automatic channel search' then manually re-inserting schedule.
After selecting TV Portal then selecting red button for Humax then attempting to select any number nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
A second issue is having removed the custom portal, in order to play a program via the Humax portal, then saving the program using 'Save last streamed...
Tonight I had coronation st, terror in Nairobi and 'from Harris with love' (BBC Alba) set to record. Humax displayed the conflict on screen but I did not receive an email even though I have the 'upcoming conflict' flag set. Should this not send me an email or have I got that wrong?
Update on the above from Dec 8, 2011:
The box has been working reasonably well (apart from gaps in recordings and displays of "The channel is scrambled or not available" and box freezing for a while) but we were living with it. Then on Sunday it stopped when playing back a recording and that...
Sam, glad to hear you managed to get a replacement. I'm still waiting on Humax phoning me about a replacement since 15th November.
There is however an update on the box - on Saturday evening all recordings seemed to have disappeared and the HD wanted to be reformatted. I started the reformat on...

See further experiences:
Phoned on Friday 11th November and the chap said to phone back on Monday (ask for him) as he would know then if they had stock in for a replacement.
Phoned on Monday 14th November but could not speak to Friday's guy but left a message for him to phone back.
Phoned...
More bad news.
I received the same box back on Friday 4th November but was unable to test until today. After 20 minutes of watching the TV Portal (iplayer) the box froze for 2 minutes, i.e. the same symptoms as why I had returned the box. At the end of the program it froze again when trying to...

Sorry but not always. I had to take a whole day off work but when the courier arrived he did not have a replacement. I phoned Humax and was told that there was no 'exchange' because they did not have any HDR-FOX T2 1TB in stock so it will either be replaced or repaired. They could not provide...
danishblue, did you receive a replacement?
After phoning Humax they agreed to replace my unit but when the courier arrived today he did not have a replacement. I phoned Humax and was told that there was no ‘exchange’ because they did not have any HDR-FOX T2 1TB in stock so it will either be...
I have had freezing for a few weeks now. Not sure if it's the same issue - here are my problems:
1. The box freezes on normal television, i.e. no recording. Anything on screen, e.g. i-plate, is frozen on screen and the remote is unresponsive. The programme does not freeze but continues with no...
