    Hi, have just bought and set up a Humax 1000S. Everything has gone well but I have a 2nd tv in the bedroom which has a wifi link through the main tv. Because the humax box turns itself off after 3 hours I cannot get the 2nd tv to get a signal without going into the lounge to turn on the main tv. Is there a to adjust the length of time or cancel the switch off. Thanks

    Welcome to the Forum

    Press the settings button on the remote.

    Then

    System Settings - Power Saving - Automatic Power Down Select off.

    Hi Graham, just to say thanks and that it worked beautifully. Feel a bit of an idiot as it was so simple, but just put it down to yet another "age" moment. Thanks again.

    Is there a way to change the time it takes to shut down, like 30 mins or an hour etc. Reason being, wife likes to fall asleep while watching TV and 3 hours is a bit long...thanks

    Nope, it's 3 hours or nothing at all.

    There is no menu option other than to turn on or off automatic sby. You can set a timer to turn off the box at the same time every day though.

    Settings - General Settings - Power-Off timer

    Thanks, will possibly just set the TV to switch off on a timer and box can run for the 3 hours...

    Quite possible that the TV has it's own setting.
