And yet there is no button at all to access the recordings directly - this is exacerbate by the t-e-d-i-o-u-s-l-y-s-l-o-w- and clunky menu navigation - although I dont suppose Humax will ever spent 10 minutes fixing it whist ever other users defend this crippled interface - i've been buying and...
The search now has two modes of operation and its the *New* mode/feature I am commenting on. This is where it produces a search list as-you-type and this list is not inclusive and seems to exclude some programmes/channels.
If you press down/search (old search) it finds a more inclusive list...
I've had quite a few and they allllllllllll have keyboard shortcuts
A Little logic costs zero and as an ex amateur programmer it's a totally nothing job
Using the PLAY button to "play" a recording doesn't get more intuitive
It's a single line IF statement
Nope I'm afraid there's not a...
New search features looks great......couple a button presses brings up a list of programmes that match
More letters = shorter list until you see what you want
Works very well and is really really fast
That is until you realise it CANT FIND MOST PROGRAMMES???????

After an upgrade I had missing guide information for BBC1 and 2 for over 12 hours and couldn't figure out why but the solution was simple. I just switched to BBC1 and the missing guide info populated within minutes
I downloaded the update directly from the humax website and found it a big improvement for me because they have got rid of the external drive bug. Although I guess if they have updated again I have to update again. Anyone know the latest version number?
It's nice to have a access to a full menu but I agree it doesn't have any default behaviour considering most of the buttons on the remote do nothing most of the time. In this context you should be able to simply press "PLAY" to continue from where you left off (no more prompts or key presses) or...
Couple of big improvements in the last updated
SLICK NEW IMPROVED SEARCH FEATURE
...just type in a few letters and instant filter of the TV guide appears. Very cool, easy and fast to use
Newly added RECENT MENU....

The list view has improved in the May 2017 update...
by reducing the font size, including more episodes per page, including day and time making it easier to distinguish between episodes. Shame they didn't take this opportunity to sort them in date order and still no icon to identify episodes...
You can use the left/right buttons < > to SKIP, great, which you can also customize but then after you shuttle with the dedicated fast forward / rewind buttons << >> this makes the 'SKIP' KEYS STOP 'SKIPPING'? and default to fast forward/rewind behaviour which is a real annoyance and zero logic
Bit of an update
When setting up a series link in SD the 4000 PROMPTS TO RECORD SERIES LINKS IN HD and that's great...
