Do we know what the retune was even for?The BBC Olympics coverage. There will be another retune afterwards.
The flaming Olympics - I spend an inordinate amount of time making sure I don't have to watch anything connected with this corrupt event throughout the month of August and yet the BBC sees fit to wipe my recording schedule.

So if we can't stop the Humax retuning itself (until a firmware fix is released - if it ever is) is there any way the average user (who doesn't have access to this D-book) can predict when a forced retune may take place? (Other than, of course, a broad guess when a major event like the Olympics is coming up.)
The custom firmware has a hack to delete the hidden event if it's in the schedule when the HDR-FOX T2 or HD-FOX T2 is booted.
I mentioned the d-book for just background reading. It's certainly more complex to read than to implement the custom firmware and the hack (which hummy.tv call 'disable-DSO' because of when a resolution to the problem was tackled).

So presume the answer to my question is 'no' if one's using an HDR-2000T? 
Correct.
My HDR-2000T in April failed to pick up the event. I'd given it away a couple of weeks before and the new owner sat watching for the pop-up which never came. As I haven't received a phone call last night I'm wondering whether it has skipped the retune again!
Why does this never happen with our HDR 1000s? Is this because it's a more advance system i.e. EPG than the Freeview model?
I too have just discovered that 2 days of recordings, which I assumed had taken place, have in fact have gone down the loo, thanks to this retune.
I don't even remember a popup to say it had retuned, which I think used to happen? If it happens amid a fortnight in the sun, you'd come home to find damn all recorded. Really appalling.
Is this just a Humax bug? At the very least it could be scheduled to coincide with TV listings papers, which start on a Saturday and on which day many will set the week ahead, i.e. retune in early hours of Sat morning.
But this is a shocker. Someone ought to be very red faced about this.
There was definitely no pop up on our TV when I turned on the 2000T either, just missed recordings and a wiped schedule.
I don't know who is to blame but it simply isn't good enough. The fact that no one can even be bothered to offer a simple apology to customers says to all really.

The pop-up occurs just before the retune and asks if you want to retune. If you don't respond then it defaults to retune now after 2 or 3 minutes.

Very unlikely to happen when it is left alone. The retune happens when the pop-up times out. No pop-up then no retune. No switch on then no pop-up then no retune.

It's a design feature.

That could be a lot worse. Humax don't have an influence on the network changes and neither do they control the broadcast event which includes the earliest date/time that the set top box could take action.
The simplest change would be to change the default to 'Retune later' (which when I select on a 2000T I no longer get the pop-up but still do get any separate broadcast reminders.)
Luke you state the following -
Very unlikely to happen when it is left alone. The retune happens when the pop-up times out. No pop-up then no retune. No switch on then no pop-up then no retune.
Our box had been in standby - it was supposed to record in standby - it hadn't been switched on for two days. When it was switched on the programmes that should have been recorded hadn't been and the recording schedule was empty - please explain?
Ditto - and this is the second time it's happened to me.
Presumably when the box switches on by itself to make a scheduled recording is when the pop-up appears but, of course, there is no one to see it and react appropriately. After 2-3 minutes it should default to 'No' rather than 'Yes' (which is what currently happens)!
Shoddy programming!
