I had similar problems with my 4000T since I bought it a few weeks ago, mainly starting up after being switched off overnight.
Ive just been away on holiday all week and delighted to be able to report that it recorded everything I set it to do whilst I was away, probably because I turned off the network server in settings as someone previously suggested.
I can also add that I had my router switched off all week so don,t think this had anything to do with it.
Hope this helps.

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
graham ukI think you're living in hope if you're expecting an update. I have all sorts of intermittent problems with mine: won't switch on while it's recording; sometimes won't connect to the Internet; sometimes switches itself on for no reason (and if I happen to be watching the TV independently of the box it switches the TV off at the same time). Basically it's a good box with completely crap software. I wish I'd never bought it.

At least 2 of the 'issues' you report are almost certainly HDMI CEC handshake. Try turning off the option on your TV.

patsycola.Your Quote. I think you're living in hope if you're expecting an update.
For Info. I'm new to Humax having recently purchased FVP4000T Freeview. I emailed Humax with a list of problems.
Give them their due Humax recently asked me if I would test a OS Update and report back my findings.
This BETA OS has provided a number of improved options and a number of my problems have been delt with so at least they have been active trying to sort things.graham uk

Contradiction if in one sentence you state living in hope of an update and then go on to state you are testing a beta.
Many members volunteer to test FVP and other software and do so diligently, reporting their findings in our hidden beta areas as we do not encourage discussions in our open forum.

Barry. If you read my reply to patsycola it states YOUR QUOTE.
I gave no information away regarding the BETA OS. As I'm new to the Forum I was not aware of BETA Areas on the Forum.

Barry, I'm not at all technical so I don't know what you mean by HDMI CEC handshake.
Which option are you suggesting I turn off on my TV?

Thanks Barry. I've turned it off - I'll wait and see if it improves things.
