Fingers crossed... it SEEMS to have worked! Thanks a million, Barry.
Is this likely to happen again, and is there anything I can do to keep the Humax running efficiently?

Great news
Ensure you have latest software, and if you should retune, no 800 channels.

Thanks. Fingers crossed it'll still be working tonight!
How do I make sure I have the latest software?

Leave it in standby overnight, it should then update automatically if software is being broadcast.
Latest version for the 9200 is 1.00.23

So I need to leave on standby every night, on the off chance that there is an update? I don't usually leave things on standby as it uses a lot of electricity.

So I need to leave on standby every night, on the off chance that there is an update? I don't usually leave things on standby as it uses a lot of electricity.The foxsat uses less than 1W (about 0.75W) in low power sby. A trivial amount of power. It's likely the box will get the extra Olympic HD channels from tomorrow. It's not only updates, for instance the chapter thumbnail images are generated overnight, changes to the epg line up are also done automatically overnight on the latest firmwares.
If left in sby for say 16hrs/day for 12months it will use just over 4 units of electrcity. At 16p/unit just 64p a year.
Got in a twist
A 9200 uses about 11W in sby or £9.00 annually. Time to get HDR FOX T2.

Not sure what you mean = how should I do that? No, up to now I just switch the TV and Humax off at the mains.

No, up to now I just switch the TV and Humax off at the mains.When you switch the 9200 from ON to STANDBY it goes through a shut down procedure with some house keeping, shuts down the hard drive then goes to sleep only keeping a watch on the time to perform recordings and any other event it needs to wake up for. If you just switch OFF at the mains from ON then affectively you are cutting the machine off in full flight and conceivably this could have caused your problem. Presumably when you switch OFF your computer you go through a shut down procedure, Start Button, Turn Off Computer, etc., the Hummy is a computer and should be shut down correctly for reliable operation.
