Still having the original HDD in the original type t2 anyone?

[nvingo]

I very much doubt that's HDD-related.
Have you installed 'tunefix' ?

tunefix Info	1.8.6	Automatic channel organisation and maintenance.	Remove​
tunefix-update Info	1.0.87	Automatic Freeview channel updates.

Mine still has the original 500 Gb disc, but I wonder if the unit is giving up. It's started switching stations round the channels. For example, Film 4 (supposed to be on channel 14) disappears. Channel 14 now features More4. Channel 18 is not there at all. So an automatic retune puts all back to where it should be until I switch on again, and the same station/channel errors occur. I have CF.
Any thoughts? Or do I need a new Humax>

Nothing to do with the HDD. Try a system flush - see Steps for Resolving HDR-FOX Crash/Reboot Issues (click), item 1C.

Sounds like you are running tunefix that is re-ordering the LCNs for you at boot time.

wow!

it seems that over the Christmas period I've had the t2 on for 1300 hours.

Probably just needs a re-tune.

But he said "So an automatic retune puts all back to where it should be until I switch on again ". I am with Trev sounds like a tunefix related issue if the OP is using custom firmware and has tunefix installed.

Minus 2hrs x 60 for the unattended hummy self shutdown

Yes, I agree, although it would have been because of the user's own actions, but we will never know as s/he couldn't be bothered to reply in over 2 months.
