    Back to reality.

    Have been looking at the router stats for connections and disconnections from the Humax boxes.

    HDR1000S connects every 6-21 minutes for about 8-12 mins

    HB1000S connects exactly every 25 mins for 7-11 mins.

    Both boxes are registered with the Freesat App but the HDR1000S is the default.

    So it appears that the app must actually be unpaired from the box (and not just set to non default) to prevent ET calling home at alarmingly frequent intervals.

    I deleted the app entirely. The only benefit I saw was having the ability to set recordings on the go. However, in reality I never made use of this facility and the apps propensity to constantly call home (as you have now found) was driving me to distraction.

    I'm not at all sure that having the HDD keep spinning up then spinning down so frequently does it any good either.
