Before sending it back I suggest you might look into the cabling, which has not been touched. If possible it might be worth moving the TV end of the HDMI cable into an unused HDMI socket if there's one available. Cleaning up both ends of the cable, and its sockets with a soft brush may help. You've got an intermittent fault, I can't imagine anyone at Humax coupling it up to one of their TVs and watching to see if any thing happens. Bear in mind also that your input co-ax from the aerial or the connection at the aerial might be dodgy. You could check this by watching something just on the TV, i.e leave the Humax switched off. You might also ask neighbours if they experience black outs.Done what you said still drop outs 5 last night, been in touch with Humax who advised to swap lead/ swop HDMI socket, still not right, will get back to them to see what they say.
If you see a drop out, use the live buffer, rewind and play the event again (and again and again if required). if the dropout repeats and happens at the same point it is on the input side and hence nothing to do with the HDMI lead.
HDMI issues caused by faulty/poor quality leads etc look very different to DTT DVBT/DVBT2 issues
