Yes, that's correct and you're also very sarcastic, don't forget that one!I'll take that line as a compliment as it's something I've been working on - thank you.

Still no word from Humax; have emailed them and phoned now with no resolution. Downloaded the App this morning and THAT can see all my recordings, so why the **** can't the box itself???!!!

Same issue today on a 21/4 year old box. Player won't work either on the machine now

My player's still working, and I can see all recording history on the android app - just can't play them. My box is about the same age as yours - purchased Oct 2013, just out of guarantee.
Unless this is sorted very quickly, the chances of my ever buying another Humax product are virtually zero

Don't know - but that makes sense, and would explain why the app still shows stuff. But then... why would I have a cloud copy of recordings I made before installing the app?

Good question. Can you set a recording using the app?

On installing the app it uploads to the cloud all recordings scheduled? Just an educated guess since I don't use the app due to its obvious drawback of booting up the disk every 20 mins.

Not on installation, nor on log-in, but once paired, yes, probably, I agree. But the app was downloaded after the HDD turned invisible, so the app must have been able to see the list even though the box could not.

another one with the same issue here! Froze last night, no recordings on restart and no HDD visible. Haven't had any error messages; spoke to Humax this morning who told me to reset to factory defaults... made no difference. Pfffffftt..... don't make me go back to Sky, please!!!!Mate have a look on ebay for "Zgemma Star 2S Twin Tuner" and get one with a 6 or 12 month gift.
I wish i did it years ago now.
Kind Regards
SimonReally? I was always taught to beware of people bearing gifts - especially from a vague Chinese maker. Reviews on the river site aren't exactly glowing either.
Well ive had a openbox for over 1 month now and ive go a Zgemma Star 2S Twin Tuner just over 1 week ago and its the best move I ever did.
im so impressed with them little boxes and even if it last 12 months its still only 10% of what sky would charge. its a no brainer.Yes this is true, however, I'm not sure if you have realised but this is a site dedicated to Humax PVRs not some cheap Chinese imitation.
Although this site is dedicated to Humax, it is a public forum, I also suspect many of the contributers may also be employees of Humax, but if a company has an epidemic fault on machines that are barely out of warranty and frequently tries to deny it and either is unable or unwilling to resolve the issue for previously loyal customers, Humax can expect a certain amount of flack and those disgruntled customers to look elsewhere. After all if this problem continues to persist what options is there but to look elsewhere. So I think alternative recommendations are a valid subject for debate.
