Small clock icon appearing in box display window

Does anyone know what the small clock icon on the display on the front of the box means. It looks like the one that appears on the TV guide when you set a reminder but it is reversed. At first I thought it was telling me that I had programs set to record but its not there all the time and I don't have any reminders set either. The manual is no help at all.

I think it means you have set your box to turn itself on automatically?

I think it indicates the box has woken from full sby to recording sby (15 mins before a accurate recording is due). When the actual recording starts it's joined by a rec icon. Mine is due to wake at 16:45 today so I will have a closer look then. If you plug a usb powered device into the front usb socket (like a usb HDD) you can see the box has woken up.

Another fine theory shot down in flames , box has woke up but no clock icon yet.

Graham , these are the icons that I was complaining about some time ago. Humax have provided no documentation about these at all.

BTW richersounds are providing me with a replacement box next week so I will give it another chance to impress !!! However if it fails or I have to tinker with it again the new Manhattan box looks quite good and has a much better manual provided.

When I looked earlier box was in sby and recording and both icons were lit so I expected the same to happen again. It didn't box now back in full sby and should wake up again in 5 minutes.

You will have to manually update the firmware on the replacement box to fix the failure to record first programme of the day.
