    Has anyone found a way of making the display light (ridiculously placed underneath the Humax HDR 1100S box) more visible . My box is on a shelf under the TV but I cannot se the lights across the room and have to stand over it to see them. Ive tried tilting the box upwards and placing a small mirror under the front edge to reflect the light but without luck.

    I had the same problem with the 5000T. Rather than a mirror, I tried a piece of white card, which proved fairly successful.

    I use a small piece of aluminium foil formed into a inverted channel. Placed in the right place it reflects the light horizontally forward.

    Humax 5000T. Leading edge design? LOL!

    Thanks guys. The white card seems to do the trick. Obviously, the designer didn't try placing the box on a black shelf!

    That is good. Like you, I have tilted the box a little to lift the LED a bit away from the card.
