    Got an issue in Non Freesat Mode on my Humax HDR-1000S only occurred since the software update the other week.
    Changed to Non Freesat Mode was coming up with weak or no signal on STV & ITV HD frequency 10936 V 23000 2/3. So I went to search for this frequency again in user defined. It wouldn't let me enter the symbol rate so I selected save now I just get a blank screen when user defined is selected.

    Hi welcome to the forum.

    It's a known issue

    Thanks, would be useful if you could choose whether to update the software to the latest version or not. The new software seems to create more issues than it resolves!

    There was a thread running in the official Freesat forum on exactly that. They deleted it.

    Freesat would appear to have missed some interesting points off the change list:
    1. Recordings now have Today, Yesterday or date annotated to them, similar in timers list but no date.
    and
    2. You can have some fun now with youtube and a tablet, look carefully at the tablet youtube screen, in top right hand corner, for tv icon you can opt to play on your freetime box without pairing now, just select the appropriate device id (if you are lucky enough to have more then one freetime unit) Device id as appears in system info.

    They also obmitted to tell us that they removed the ability to put in a user difine symbol rate when putting in non freesat channels. This was a very usefull feature and the only way you add channes like STV HD ECT , so why remove it.
    Without this feature in makes the non freesat mode pritty usless for HD channels.

    Hi just joined. I have two problems with my freesat box 1000S that have started over the last few days . Firstly then everything is switched off the hard drive starts up makes a noise for a while then stops, this seems to happen at various times during the day. Secondly last night I was told that I had no recordings even though the disc was 46% full and I needed to formatt the hard drive. I turned the machine of at the mains but no good, I formatted the drive this morning. I see this was a problem last year at this time, are these problems linked to the recent update or have I got a faulty box? Had it now for 8 trouble free months. As I type the hard drive has fired up again, second time this morning.
    Thanks

    Have you paired a device with the box in order to use the iOS app?
    This causes the box to spin up every 15-20 mins to check for a remote recording schedule.

    Hi Pollensa. Yes I have, that sorts that one out, thanks. Do you think I was just unlucky with the hard drive?
