After reading reviews and looking at options, I bought a 5000t a couple of weeks ago. I was very tempted to go for the Panasonic DMR-HWT150EB. But now I wonder if I made the right decision. I used to have SKY but cancelled it, I find the HUMAX slow, when changing channels. Often when looking at the channel guide a lot of the channels that are a couple of hours ahead show "No information available" this cannot be the signal as I have other tvs that work of the same aerial, and do not get this issue,I know I am used to the sky guide and it was a lot more responsive. But is there any updates for the Humax that might make it quicker? Rather frustrated !!

It should repopulate your epg and refresh the epg cache.
Change channels by tapping in the channel number (the same works to move focus in the epg).
My 5000T is sensitive to tuner overload despite a loft aerial. A variable TV attenuator sorted this out.

Graham, excuse my ignorance is this something I can set up on the machine or do I need to put a timer on the plug? If on the machine how do I do it? Regards.
