My point is: why the heck have you got this box registered with RS, hence receive emails from RS, when RS is no good to you?
Failed recordings ?

But is it fundamentally broken for SAORview, which is essentially the same thing as Freeview with an Irish accent?
Obviously some things like tunefix-update won't work since @prpr has enough on his plate without tracking the transmitter changes in other countries.
Some other users have had problems when trying to tune in transmitters in both North and South which is known to cause problems but if there is only a single transmitter involved what else will cause it to fail.
The region and Mux names may not recognized but does that cause a real problem?
When you're backed into a corner, and all the regular options don't do anything - you employ 'overkill'. Humax interface shows no content on HDD, Webif shows no content on HDD, the only scheduled item in RS interface is the regular nightly OTA. There seems to be an invisible .hmt file in there, and whatever it takes to remove it, I rule nothing in and rule nothing out!

An orphaned hmt real or imaginary is not causing any problems, if the emails are annoying turn them off in RS settings,
Lets get down to basics of what is and is not working.
Can you see todays and next weeks programmes in the EPG:
What versions of the webif and CF do you have installed?
What does RS say as Last seen time and Region?
Is Humax tuned to an UK or Irish transmitter or Both?
Does recording work if you:

What version are you on? 1.02.32 ? The reason I ask is that I still use 1.02.32.
I use 1.02.32 despite the problems with failed recordings after rescans
I still have to remember after a rescan on 1.02.32 that recordings on some channels will appear as if failed. I think this no longer applies to Freeview now as channel 'time-sharing' no longer used.
Also BH has a good write up on padding Vs accurate recordings

I've just had an email (below) alerting me to a string of failed recordings - all except one were series link recordings. Basically no scheduled recordings have been successful since Saturday lunchtime. I did a manual recording on Sunday night (hitting the REC button while watching), and that succeeded, but nothing else in the last 3 days. There seems to be an hmt file for each failed recording, but nothing else.
I've just done an automatic retune, and have attached my crashdiag and HDD logs, but am at a loss as for what to do next. Any ideas for how I can fix this?
I'm running custom firmware v3.13 (build 4028).
EDIT: I've also just noticed that the TV Diary in the Web IF is empty - i.e. it shows nothing watched and nothing recorded for the last month. EPG is also empty

I was just preparing for a factory reset, and have noticed that some of the channel numbers on my scheduled recordings have changed following the auto retune. For example, BBC News at One (which was on channel 101) is now showing as channel 105 (Channel 5 HD) in the Schedule. Coronation Street (ITV) is now channel 204 (CBBC HD). Other ITV scheduled recordings (e.g. Wild Bill) are still correctly scheduled to record channel 103.

Will the Backup/Restore option in the Web IF be available after a factory reset?

Yes.

I guess that's why you were getting failed recordings - somehow the auto-restore (following a retune and a reboot) has scrambled the destination LCNs. If your services are on the correct LCNs now, all you might need to do is restore a recording schedule from a backup.
