Humax FVP-5000T Crashing on Playback

Hi all I have an FVP 500T with a fair few programmes recorded, probably 75% full. When I am playing recordings, I think at the same time as a live recording is taking place I get a message saying the channel is scrambled / unavailable. Then it cuts back to live TV. If you go back in recordings everything disappears and it says there aren't any recordings. A hard reset will resolve the issue, pulling the power and reinstating it. However it will then happen again a few days later. Is there anything I can do without a factory reset that will lose all the recordings?

Hello - just wondering if you found a solution to this problem in the end, or if anyone else knows of a solution? I have experienced the same issue as above - a message appears saying the channel is scrambled/unavailable when playing recordings, and it cuts back to live tv.

Any help would be gratefully received!
 
As an educated stab in the dark, this sounds like the unit sometimes loses track of its encryption key. A reboot reinstates it. Whether anythign can be done to stop it doing that is anybody's guess, but probably not.
