Until someone to admits to what's wrong, Humax or the BBC or whoever and a solution is provided , we just can't trust these boxes to record BBC3 HD & BBC4 HD .......Like you, sloph, my tooth is very long:( , I don't often look at BBC3..

Inconsistent inasmuch sometimes the older box fails to record & sometimes the new one. See my copied & pasted post below from Page 4 of this topic:-
""Below are the results of my test last night:-
OLD BOX
BBC3 HD (AR recording) 22.25 The Revolution.......... Failed recording, '0' minutes...
Not much change here I'm afraid :(.
I have two HDR T2's. One about two years old and the other 5 or 6 weeks old. Both standard software.
Tried a test last night to see if anything had changed.
Set up 'Byzantium' at 2100 on BBC4 HD & 'Him & Her Wedding' at 2200 on BBC3HD on both boxes...
Below are the results of my test last night:-

I've got two of these boxes, one is approx two years old running standard software 1.02.28, loader a7.30 , the other is about a month old running standard software 1.02.29 loader a7.33 . Both boxes were set to record BBC 4HD @ 19.00 & 20.00 tonight (it was an error I'm...
Set up a test tonight & successfully recorded the half hour news bulletin on BBC 4 HD from Crystal Palace transmitter.

Tried recording 'Sounds of the 70's' on BBC 4 HD at 19.00 tonight. :-
(1) The red ring on the box lit up and was red for the whole hour.
(2) The red dot on the 'i' button and on the guide was on for the whole hour.
(3) The red dot and the programme did not show in the media listing.

Not sure Martin... It was 2011 :) ...The problem I recall was watching C4 ( it was pixilating) whilst recording any other channel. Sorry I can't be more specific. The unit was a fortnight old and Humax didn't hesitate to exchange, they didn't even offer any remedy for me to try at home.

I've had the only two recordings I've tried on BBC 4 HD fail last night. Patisserie & Balmoral. According to the box they failed because 'Recordings (less than 30secs) may not be stored' . We're on the Crystal Palace transmitter.
BBC screwed up?
Edit: No problems with any picture break...
My box is not a Freesat, it's connected a Sony tv via an HDMI lead. I have to select the input on the TV manually. There is no indication on the TV screen that the Humax has booted up.

I had the dreaded 'green screen' for the first time today. The box switched on to the selected channel briefly and then to the green screen. I couldn't get it to work properly at all. I called Humax Technical who told me that I should let the box boot up completely and only then switch the TV to...
Mine is an HDR T2 1TB with the latest firmware. The box gives Dolby Digital through a Yamha surround system when it's broadcast and Pro Logic at other times.
