1. Crop fails on manual use of Detect Adverts
  
  Is anything shown in webif-error.log (viewable via the diagnostics page) following a crop attempt? As an experiment try a Detectads run with cropping within detectads and see if that runs (can specify -crop y -debug 2 in "Process options" if you don't want to change the global setting)

2. 2tb seagate skyhawk, 1st bad sector after 4 years
  
  /mnt/hd3/fix-disk.0.log viewable in the log file list on the webif diagnostics page Humax can get very slow if one of the bad sectors is in a file that is frequently accesed or seem unaffected if in a recording not being played, Fixdisk is best run overnight because of the time it can take.

4. Humax HDR-Fox: Cold Start Characteristic
  
  If your box fails to completely shut down when you press power off (& a recording is not in progress/pending) this is known a 'delinquent half awake' This can have several causes but I have found these tests useful in detecting recordings causing problem
