Recently, our HUMAX HDR-1000S fails to start-up, there is no red LED but it's still warm and makes recording sounds. This is strangely, more so during peek time.
We had preformed a factory reset, however, no difference. The only way to cure is a power down, but sometimes it takes several tries. We occasionally have to leave it and try in the morning.

Can anyone help?
I assume there is nothing displayed on the front panel?
If there is I would try playing with the TV source to see if you can force a picture.
It may be that the unit was actually recording before the TV was switched on and the problem relates to a HDMI sync problem. Have you also tried turning the TV off into standby and turning on again?
The only other problem I can think of is a HDMI-CEC control problem - try disabling it on your TV (Search for HDMI-CEC and your TV brand to find out what they call it.)
If no luck, and especially as you say the problem is recent, I would suspect a defective unit (or power supply).
p.s. Should this be under HDR-1000S and not HB-1000S?
I have un paired the remote app, not seen the problem since, fingers crossed.
Should be HDR-1000S
Admin Edit: Thank you for the update, thread moved to correct area.
No more problems, for the last month.
The app would have been waking the unit every 20 mins.
Could be unit have been starting but not seizing the HDMI port?
