No Programmes Are Currently Being Broadcast On This Channel for approx 3 minutes

[Black Hole]

Had to reset the Micom timestamp again this morning.

I don't think there is a battery for time backup, so it must rely on power in standby. It could be that there is a PSU fault.

It's a real shame as there does not seem to be a good replacement out there.

They can still be picked up in good condition on eBay et al, or I might be able to supply if I can make a working one out of parts.

As I am still getting the initial problem (No Programmes...) I think I will have to put up with these problems

Don't turn it off then.

You're right - I would hardly know if there was a problem with the minicom...

That is very generous of you - will have a look on eBay etc.

Don't turn it off then.

That is my intention

Just came across this thread. I have a HUMAX HDR FOX T2 with the standard factory firmware and mine has just started showing the same error when I turn it on. It says no programmes being broadcast, yet if I retune the box it works ok. But next time I go to use it, the guide looks fine but no stations.

started showing the same error

Is it though? The initial symptoms may be similar, but does it then

Picture appears after approx 3 minutes (it is blocky at first but sorts itself out quickly) and all functions okay
