    Firstly I am not technical! I have a FVP 4000T only about a year old. It has worked fine until lately when it will not turn on from standby. The only remedy is to turn it off at the mains and start again. Surely this is a fault? Any help much appreciated.

    Welcome to our Forum

    Does the front led on the front of unit change to blue or a brighter red?

    Yes today the blue light has come on and today it just says that there is no signal! I disconnected the box from the tv and it works perfectly so is not a signal fault but something wrong with the box.

    Sadly you are not alone, this seems to be extremely common for this box.

    I should return mine and by something different but I've got so many programs I don't want to lose already recorded on the box.

    Just obtained new 4000T freeview with same lockup problem.

    My local retailer phoned Humax who replied.
    Go to Network Settings
    Turn OFF Network Sevice ( it's on by default)

    When set to OFF it stops 4000T searhing for OS updates which causing the lockup problem.
    After doing the above I no longer get lockups.

    Assuming Humax will do an update with next OS

    Hi Graham, I don't have an option to turn off Network Service within the network settings (I'm on the latest version of the software).

    I've already turned off network server (as per other recomendations) but that's not fixed the issue.

    Network server is what has to be turned off, which you have already done so I suspect a HDMI CEC problem.

    Try turning off 'TV Power Control' in the System Settings menu, and if necessary turn off HDMI CEC on your TV.

    NKVeTZ9edAIp. Barry's reply would be interested if that helps.

    You are correct it is network server (not sevice)
    My instructions above came direct from Humax.
