HDR 500: slow response to remote control

I've had my Foxsat HDR 500 for a couple of weeks and am really frustrated at how slowly the unit responds to remote buttons in the EPG. I did a search and found a recommendation to press 'Schedule' then 'Red' - but I don't have a 'Schedule' button on my remote (RM-F04).

Software Version: HPRSFCI 1.00.21 Updated: 27 July 2012

Any suggestions?
 
Did you buy your Foxsat New? as far as I am aware, you have the wrong model remote control.

You should have an RM-F01 remote with the Foxsat, the RM-F04 is for the HD/HDR-FOX T2 boxes.
 
New(ish) - was a eBay purchase, described as 'new, ex-display', and both the HDR and remote look as though they are brand new.
 
Yeah, I guessed that. I'll get in touch with the vendor and see if I can get the correct remote. Any ideas what I can do for the time being?
 
If the vendor can't help you can buy the correct remote on e-bay. Install the Custom Firmware found on AV forums and access the epg via your PC/Tablet/Smartphone using a webbrowser. There's also remote control not only with the correct buttons but also recordable macros (one button for schedule/red) and channel favourite icons
 
Just sent the vendor a message, hopefully they will have the correct remote. I think there are 2 custom F/W versions? If so which do you recommend?
 
Yep, thanks for the info - I'm on with it now, just formatting a USB drive. But I've not been able to find my USB WiFi dongle, I'm assuming it's possible to use a direct LAN connection between the Humax and my router?
 
Don't forget Nowsters patch. It records HD without encryption. As a result you can use on of the DLNA server packages to view HD content remotely. Works great to my Nexus 7 tablet.
