2 aerials into a passive Y combiner then into the amp. Not the best solution. My TX are Mendip (main) and Wenvoe which pump out the power. I may have a reason why it suddenly started. The aerial feed from the amp (upstairs) to the TV (downstairs) is buried in the wall plaster to a socket. Been...
Had the same problem of pic breakup and freezing start on my 5000 recently. Sig and quality 100% before and now so perhaps overload? I have an aerial amp as I combine 2 aerials so have removed the amp and sig down to 85-95% with quality 100%. I'll see if the problem clears.
Of all the awful features of the 5000 this is the one that really annoys me. It used to happen on earlier models but was fixed with the Fox T2. I wish my Fox T2 hadn't broken..... :(
Ah.... you're right it does show the channel number. I think my problem stems from the attempt to manually retune when it indicated ch35 was broadcasting but it wouldn't receive any stations - I don't know why. The signal test didn't then indicate the ch number. I ended up doing a factory reset...
Thanks for the replies. It's actually an FVP-5000 (I mentioned it in the post title). The Fox is easy to find hence my reference to it. But the FVP remote lacks the useful 'info' button. I did find a way in the end. Bring up the channel list and press the red button but it only shows you the...
Just struggling to retune after Freeview changes at the Mendip transmitter. BBC-B mux (BBC HD channels) is being received at 100% on ch 35 but no channels found. Did a full auto-tune but same problem. Did a factory reset and autotune and it's working! My question is how can I see which mux ch...
Thanks! This "feature" and other wonderful backward steps I've discovered in this box are annoying. Have Humax actually done anything about rectifying them in future software releases or are we stuck with them?
Just bought an FVP-5000 and have an issue with how the Time Shifted feature works. I set a 30 minute program to record but then after 10 minutes decide to watch it. I start the recording from the beginning (so it is now time shifted by 10 mins). When the live program end time is reached the...
Great comment!! I only noticed it a while and I thought things seemed to be going slowly. I then Googled it and found these various threads about it and realised it was an issue. Once you know about it the problem becomes a bit more obvious and annoying.
I've got BBC 3 HD from the Mendip (West) transmitter and BBC 4HD from the Wenvoe (Cardiff) transmitter as Mendip don't broadcast it yet. I do get issues with recording on these sometimes but as programmes are repeated endlessly over several days I don't actually miss anything :)
I'll try the factory reset. Trouble is I don't watch much live TV as most of it isn't worth watching! So I record most things and then decide if I want to watch it. So I've quite a lot scheduled (yes, I know that can slow it down a bit). A factory reset means setting the schedule up again...
I thought of going back to the older version but recall it had issues recording BBC 3 and 4 on HD. Not done a factory reset but did remove a lot from the scheduled recording and that speeded things up a bit but...... I set quite a lot to record so that doesn't solve it. The most irritating bit...
Mines as slow as ever! Really getting to the point now where I wonder if I should replace the thing with something else. It's been frustrating for many months now. I've emailed Humax support in the vain hope they'll take note. My concern is this is an old model now and I wonder whether a fix...
