I bought a Humax PVR9300T 320GB in 2009 and, until recently, had no problems with it. But because I could not eliminate a problem (see below), I have bought a new Humax Aura UHD 1TB Recorder which I am getting used to.
The problem was that the aerial signal through the old PVR to my TV kept partially or totally cutting out.
If I plugged the aerial direct into the TV there was no problem.
At first this appeared to be poor connection of one or both coax plugs into the PVR. When I jiggled them I could sometimes get a clear picture for a short while.
I tried new coax leads but with the same result.
So as well as not being able to reliably record programmes, I was not able to watch programmes already recorded on the PVR.
I looked inside the PVR to see if there was any loose connection to coax sockets but those sockets are contained within a unit connected directly into the printed circuit board.
Because I am not sufficiently experienced to be able to carry out further diagnosis and because of the age of the PVR, it seems that I will have to send it to the tip unless you can offer any suggestions.
Meanwhile is there a way of transferring programmes and films recorded on the old PVR to the new Aura PVR either directly or via my PC for a two-stage transfer?
