    I happened to have an electrician in today who turned off all the power and turned on again. So yes i guess I did a reset.
    Yesterday I had the on demand but no actual access to programmes, see my earlier post.
    Thanks to all you guys who kept my spirits up (or at least above water) during the dark days.

    A power cut does not do a reset - but does I think cause a lot of settings to be reloaded from non volatile storage rather than disk.

    Interesting. Perhaps all you need to do is pull out the power input from the rear socket. Leave it a while and plug it back in. The box will appear to boot and then shut down (It's restarting the clock). Now boot the box as normal. Or in your case nothing at all.

    All working for me now too. Haven't done anything to the STB (no reboots etc).

    At least one afflicted poster mentioned that his box was turned off at the mains each night. If pulling the plug was the answer, it didn't apparently work for him.

    Maybe Freesat have done further tweaking.

    Oh joy! I put the box to standby and pulled the plug for ten seconds, now have Showcase and On Demand and they are really nice.

    Two week old Humax HDR 1000S with latest software (installed on day one).

    I'm running via WiFi with a Humax dongle.

    Happy days!

    Hmm. So maybe it's both? There's been further tweaking, and boxes may need to be unplugged briefly to feel the benefit?

    I'm not. What should I be trying?

    Wait until no recording is in progress and unplug the box for 10 seconds or so.
