Many thanks for the info anyway Luke, appreciated. Will check DTG schedules for OTA updates... maybe that should have been my first point of call!?!
Currently no OTA updates but if you can connect the box to the Internet then it will download the update overnight if left in standby.
Einstein40 - There is no need for an apology, nothing wrong with searching for a thread already open that may resemble the issue you are faced with.
What is the current version of software on your unit?
Cheers Barry. Am on version 1.00.07
Am not particularly IT savvy so normally opt for the OTA update for simplicity
Don't have a wi-fi dongle so as Martin suggests I assume I can simply take the unit to my router and plug in the Ethernet cable and let it do its stuff?
Einstein40 - The problem with not recording on BBC3 and BBC4 happens to me too every time I re-tune, even after the firmware update.
It is something to do with those two channels sharing the same space as CBBC and CBEEBIES, the solution is to watch something on BBC3, then press the record button, then the same on BBC4. This updates something in the background, I don't know what.
Now delete any scheduled recordings you have on BBC3 & 4 and set them up again.
All should now be fine.
The same can happen in reverse, CBEEBIES and CBBC won't record, the solution is to manually record on those channels then delete and set up the recordings again.

Wouldn’t it be easier to update to 1.01.06?
Does the new firmware definitely fix the problem?
Humax have fixed the similar problem in the HDR-FOX T2 as shown by the lack of complaints over a far longer period since the fix for the HDR_FOX T2 was released. I haven't seen anyone, including me, reporting that this issue has not been fixed. What would be your reason for doubting that Humax's statement of "Recording improvements on BBC Three and Four" is not worth giving it a go?
I guess you are right, it is certainly worth giving the update a go!

Yes that should work.
Have tried this 3 times now without success. Does it need to be done on a particular night? Have left the unit on (blue light) and in standby (red light) but still on old software version 1.00.06
Must be making some rookie obvious error I guess?
