  Broken series links or just me?
  
  Series links normally depend upon a code provided by the broadcasters called CRID. Each series should be allocated the same CRID throughout the run, but often it gets changed unexpectedly and the box loses track of the series. There is nothing you can do to improve matters apart from setting...

  Recording problems
  
  Very odd, especially as it is on two separate boxes. I don't think I have seen this problem mentioned by anyone before, even with one box, let alone two. When you say it refuses to accept any recording instructions, what exactly happens when you try?

  Recording problems
  
  What aspect of scheduling recordings fails to work? Is the EPG empty? Does nothing happen if you select a programme in the EPG and press OK? Or what?

  Any news whether they intend to fix You Tube app?
  
  From reports seen, it seems it is now working on some, if not all, Humax boxes again. 🙂

  Bit of confusion here I think. The OP is not Andrea but “visiousscrew” who may well have been talking about the 4000T/5000T.

  re tune
  
  And if you are doing a non-smart retune. as is being recommended, don't forget to photograph your recording schedule first as you will have to rebuild it after the retune.

  5000T just not making sense to me.
  
  Don’t bother with a retune in the morning, it is unlikely to help. Anyway, when you switch on again it will probably be fine.

  Humax 5000T pile of crap
  
  I, like you, have had the 5000T for about two years and have been frequenting the forums regularly. Though there have been plenty of comments on the GUI, yours is the first complaint I have seen from anyone with breakup when having a strong (but not excessive) signal, so I think your argument...

  Humax 5000T pile of crap
  
  I wonder if the "unstable tuners" suggestion relates to the fact that checking signal levels often only reveals results for one tuner, which is perfectly normal. It only shows tuners which are actually being used and the other tuners are shut down at that time.

  Setting up a FVR-5000T to simultaneously view the recording in several rooms
  
  Assuming this is actually talking about the FVP 5000T, the current Humax box, then it doesn’t have SCART output but it does have RCA.

  Is it possible just to tune a single channel/mux without losing the others?
  
  Yes, use the manual tune option. You will probably lose any recording schedules on the Mux you are retuning. Take a photo of all pages of your schedule first. Then you can reprogramme any schedule entries you might lose.

  Had an unusual one with my 5000T today. Tried to access a programme from earlier today on iPlayer from the Guide’s EPG and though it showed as available, nothing happened, just a blank screen. I then went into iPlayer via the “F” button, found the programme and it played OK.
