      EPG for some time ahead

      Greetings to those with much better knowledge of the system than I. Here's the challenge: On Thursday we leave for a holiday in France [no messages of symapthy please ;o) ] On 8 September the Rugby World Cup starts and I'd like to record the games on ITV. I'll have a laptop with me so: Is it...

      Humax portal problem

      Hoping to find advice with my latest "problem". Frequently, but not every time, when I go to the BBC i-player via the portal, it stalls and the Hummy goes right back to a restart. Usually it works on the second attempt and occasionally it takes 3 tries. Once started it runs without fault, no...

      Audio through "hi fi" amp

      Simple answers please as this technophobe has been left in the 1990s (or earlier!). I've been using this Hummy for some years and am still very happy with it. I've just replaced the amp in my music system and the new one has 2 SPDIF input sockets. One is used for the CD player and I was...

      Save last streamed programme

      I'm very much the amateur here with only the sketchiest understanding of the technicalities so please be patient. I've been enjoying the documentary series, "The Vietnam War" on BBC4 and recording it on the Hummy but for some reason Episode 10 didn't record so I thought I'd watch it on the...

      Bit of a problem - and need to catch up

      Hi, I've not been around the forum for some time and that's probably been because the TV and Hummy have been working fine. That all stopped last week when we started to watch a recorded programme and the Hummy hung up then restarted a number of times. I did the usual - switch off at the back...

      Hard disk may be failing ...

      Hello, Twice in two days my Hummy has frozen with a green screen and could be recovered only by switching off and on, the first time was recording the Six Nations and the second was simply playing a recorded programme. The second time I saw there was an error code but like a dimwit I didn't...

      Old age and amnesia

      Hi all, I feel stupid having to ask this and I've searched for the answer but I'm still wondering if I'm going doolally (please don't answer that!). I recently had a TV chappy in to fit a new aerial and he stayed to retune and check that all was well. Since then I notice that I can't watch the...

      Recording challenge - need a genius (or a 10 yr old)

      Hummy is connected conventionally to TV by HDMI. Also connected to TV, by Scart, is a nest box camera on which we are watching Betty Blue Tit sitting on eggs (no comments, please, about voyeurism). My problem is that we'll be on holiday starting around the day the eggs are due to hatch and we'll...

      Recording problem - Hostages

      Has any one else had a problem recording "Hostages" on BBC4 on Saturday evenings? After the first night I was faced with zero length "recordings" which I'd set up using the EPG as per normal. I cancelled the scheduled recording and reset it. The second week I realised that recording hadn't...

      Thoroughly confused - please help

      Hi folks, I've been reading the excellent guides in the wiki but now I'm stuck. I started by installing CFW 1.03.32 because that's the latest and then found the i-Player didn't work. OK, when all else fails, read the instructions. I updated the Humax firmware to 1.30.12 and, yea verily, my...

      Strange default on start up

      This has been happening for about a week - whenever I switch on Hummy it now starts on BBC Red Button Chan 850. It used to start on the channel in use on shutdown (I think) but certainly not this. I've just upgraded to 1.03.12 and latest Custom Firmware but it's no different (thanks for the...

      After retuning a reminder would help.

      I'm hoping someone from Humax might be reading here. I think the product is great but have one problem. After a retune (seems to be almost monthly at the moment) all my recording schedule is cleared - would it be possible to create a reminder at some point in the process? *** Reminder -...

      Not a show stopper, just an annoyance

      Title says it all but when I select a programme for recording I'm sometimes offered a "recommended" programme also. It's mildly irritating but more so because it's yet to recommend anything I'm remotely interested in ;) Is there a setting I've not found or do I jusy take another patience and...

      Hope this isn't a dull question...

      I've read about Freeview+ being clever enough to tell the recorder when the programme actually starts (if it's delayed for the footie for example) so that no part of it is missed by the recorder. Does that mean that I no longer need to pad the programme? I currently have 2 mins early and 5 mins...

      Newly upgraded - a couple of questions...

      I've recently upgraded from a 9200 to HDR T-2 and first impressions are very good. However, a couple of things I've not been able to find answers to here (or elsewhere). 1. The status display on the front panel is shown in the manual without a decode. I'm happy with the HDD contents gauge on...

      Cabling advice needed

      Hi, I'm hoping this will be just as good as hummy.co.uk and that one of the gurus will be able to help me. We've just made the jump from an elderly analogue CRT TV to a new set-up with a Toshiba "posh telly" and DVD recorder/player with Freeview tuner from LG. The only remnant of the old system...
