We have 3 month old HDR1000S and all was well until Friday. Trying to change channel, the screen froze and remote was unresponsive. After about 2 minutes the channel changed by itself. Since friday the time is getting longer between its "self-changing". Called Humax help and tried everything they suggested - nothing works. Any ideas?

Thanks Barry I tried the 2580 but could only key in 258 before getting a "no channel" notice. The only way we can change channels at the moment is selecting the channel we want, switching off the power for 5 minutes, switching on and waiting for any time up to 15 minutes for the new channel!

Ignore what it says on screen just type in 2580 and wait as per FAQ.
Other options:
HDD clean up, and if all else fails you could try a reformat, but I would wait until you have watched all recordings before taking that step.

Ok, done that - still no difference, tried to change channel afterwards and got the now/next banner with channel number but blank in both boxes under the now/next words as before and channel eventually changed after several minutes.
Is an HDD clean up the same as restoring the factory settings as we've done that several times following the Humax help line instructions.
Getting really fed up with this box - think we're going back to Sky!| Mon 25 Feb 2013 14:28:38 #5 | -
HDD clean up is via:
Settings
System Settings
Storage
Hdd
Start Disc Clean Up
Then password default is 0000| Mon 25 Feb 2013 15:56:06 #6 | -

Thanks Barry - have just set it all in motion and is now "processing" - suppose I leave it until it's finished?

Is your unit Lan connected if so you could try disconnecting that and see what happens, running out of deas as you might have guessed.
As a matter of interest is your unit 500GB or 1TB?
