1. EPG for some time ahead
  
  Thanks again for all help given. I met with partial success but when we returned I found that there was nothing showing in the EPG for HD channels so I did an auto retune and all is well now. Perhaps the attched file might offer some explanation to those who understand this better than I.

  No, what it's doing is waking to prevent the Humax code looking for updates (which it won't find). If you look on RS you'll see a "last seen" activity monitor – that will show you whether the rs package has taken the opportunity to phone home during the time it was supposed to be awake...

  That's excellent and very clear, many thanks. Re to auto power off thingy, it's never been a problem for me as I always switch off the Hummy after use and have not yet watched anything long enough for it to activate itself but I take your point. To test my understanding I've used the rs site to...
