Hi
I've tried to find anything related to the recurring problem we are having with the refurbished box purchased from Humax Direct but can't find a similar issue...
Bought this for the Mother-in-Law for use in the bedroom as it was closes to the Foxsat-HDR she has in the Lounge and gets on fine with. No sat feed(s) to the bedroom but good aerial reception from Tacolneston (and a sniff or so from the nearby Lowestoft relay and Sandy Heath on auto tune). It was delivered last Wednesday 24th.
A small number of times now the box has locked up, apparently in Standby (clock time displayed, as RF pass-through is enabled) and it ignores the remote and front panel buttons. A mains power switch-off and reboot will fix... for a time (minutes or many days). Typically it has missed a reserved recording, but it did this to me once when none was made. {M-i-L records Frasier and Two and a Half Men with the latter in the small hours, if relevant}. It is often found in the locked up state in the mornings.
Initially installed having tuned and checked operation at my home (within a mile of M-i-L), I've since tried a full factory reset and retune, deleting some duplicates found in the 800s. It has worked fine over the weekend but have the symptom this AM when M-i-L wanted to watch a recording in bed...
Connected to a Sharp LCD TV via hdmi (EXT5). TV has two hdmi inputs EXT 5 & 6).. I need to find out more on that (model specs), but the TV and Humax do not CEC switch to the external input which is annoying for the M-i-L.
Firmware is 1.03.11 as supplied and there's no ethernet connectivity.
All advice welcomed... or should I just ask Humax Direct for a replacement asap? Thanks in advance
