Stuck at START SYSTEM even with no hard disc

Boxes that only see one region probably set the same thing automatically. I wonder where that setting is stored in the Humax?
I'm not sure it is, I think RS deduces it from the mux list. So far as I can see, the region is only relevant to RS deciding whether to use your EPG data as a contribution to the overall RS EPG cache. The view of the EPG RS presents for any particular registered 'Fox is dictated by the relevant channel list.

I had muxes manually tuned, I got the tuner up first because there was something I wanted to record. Then I had time so I put in the USB stick to put custom firmware 3.13 on. Then it was time for the recording so I let it record that while I had dinner, and then after the recording I did fix-flash-packages which restored the packages. This being a transplanted hard disc from the dead box the disc portions were all still there. RS had to be registered though because it's a different box.

So there were definitely manually tuned muxes at the time I first registered this new box with RS, yet it didn't set the region in RS.

I didn't want to take the risk of strange behaviour. You believe that is all the region setting does, but you don't sound 100% certain. I decided better safe than sorry.
 
Not many because you need to retune to get it to work properly or even at all.
But unless you de-register the box from RS and then re-register it, RS will still see the box as being in its old region when it was first registered. I did a full auto tune and it did not fix my RS region even after the schedule sync'd.
