Hi there,
my Humax has recently developed any annoying intermittent problem. I have searched around for solutions but nothing seems to quite fit my problem.
For over a year the unit was connected via HDMI/DVI to a Sagem TV, and worked mostly fine, the only issue with the remote being an occasional requirement to remove and re-insert the batteries to prod it back into life, I had codes in for the TV and a DVD player and it would not work any of them when this first issue arose.
Recently the Sagem TV died, and I was able to borrow a Panasonic LCD for a couple of weeks whilst choosing a new one of our own. The Panasonic was connected by HDMI and this is when the new issue was first observed (though not straight away, probably took a couple of days to first happen) - the Humax would stop responding to commands from the remote for a period of minutes, yet the remote would still work the TV. I now have a Panasonic plasma TV and the same issue occurs intermittently.
The connection via full HDMI could just be a coincidence with some other fault developing.
Power cycling the Humax with the front button often, but not always, rectifies the issue.
The remove control has a white sticker on the inside of the battery cover printed with 'SN 10.03.12'
I bought the unit in February 2011, this fault first appeared mid March 2012.
