Thread starter dponsford Start date Nov 27, Tags pvr. Hi there, hope you guys might be able to help me out. It seems about once a month my pvr tries searching for new channels and updates and fails to complete. This has the effect of breaking any recordings that were scheduled they are not recorded until I reboot the box. I have the latest firmware, loader etc. Thanks, dp. Click to expand That's wierd the box should check for upgrades every night provided its left in sby and it should not affect your recording schedule, just the reverse because it refreshes the epg.

What you describe sounds like the power cut bug that was fixed in firmware 1. Initially try powering off the box for 5 minutes or so. Its all very frustrating but I wonder how I can tell what is due to my poor signal and what is down to the Humax that could be fixed?

Thanks for your reply, that's good, at least the swr is ok. Other channels like Dave and Sky News come and go all the time. One week I have them, the next week I don't. Film 4 is not worth recording now because of all the skipping caused by poor signal. I wonder if I should just invest in Freesat but I've had problems with that in the past too!
