It means you have timer recordings set. For the box to truly go into sby you must not have a recording due within 15 minutes (the box wakes up 15 mins before a accurate/series recording is due to watch for the programme start flag).

This is a really wierd issue. Reason I asked about turning the power off is because the box requires in effect to boot itself after power restoration to restart the clock before it will boot up normally.

If you don't mind can you also try setting a one off recording say 1hr away and put the box in sby with low power sby on. Does the box actually record the programme. If you press the on button while the recording should be in progress does the box now wake from the remote ? While recording in sby there should be a tiny (hard to see) recording in progress icon).

I did have some recordings scheduled while i was away and all was ok. the next one is today at 8pm. so i will keep the box off from 7.30 and when recording starts, will try to switch it ON with remote. do u want me to keep it in low power sby on (no clock) or normal (clock on) ?
p.s. kept the box off for 30 mins earlier with hmdi cable out (in case tv's hdmi control is doing smth funny) and same story ... no response from remote. next one, 20 min trial.

I Think tour unit and TV have a problem with what is called HDMI-CEC - see Wikipedia for the term that each manufacturer calls this. Turn it off on the TV.

Well, same story: box doesnt switch on with remote in the morning.
So its the box, not tv to blame.

Any more ideas ?

thx guys for your efforts !

Removing the HDMI lead will not change anything if the unit is waiting for a HDMI-CEC on command.

Leaving HDMI-CEC disabled on the TV and the HDR-1000S and TV in standby Power cycle both for 60 seconds.

I had a similar problem with my setup (a Philips TV, however HDMI-CEC on different Philips models work perfectly). Now I find that it is important to switch on the TV and few seconds before the HDR-1000S. I think this is due to the TV not being fully booted up when the HDT-1000S sends it's HDMI signal to the TV.

Ive got HDMI-CEC off on tv's menu, so why does the box still ignores remote ? And why humax is waiting for HDMI-CEC command if its off ? How do i break that wait ? how do i make them as 2 separate units as it is with ps3 and as it was with sky box ?
Btw, yesterday, when i switched humax OFF for 30 mins, the tv was left ON (watched some stuff on ps3) and humax still ignored the remote after 30 mins.

How olds the box? If it's within the warranty why not just take the box back, tell them it's faulty and get a replacement?
