    Cannot access list to view recorded programs, it will not accept the "okay" command.
    It will not rewind, fast forward, record etc.
    Guide is available, including information on programs.
    I have tried switching off and back on again to no avail

    If you press the Menu button is there a Games menu item visible? My first guess would be that the hard drive has died or become disconnected.

    Yes, games does appear in the menu, should I access it to see what happens?

    You will get to a game; no point. You appear to have a problem with the hard drive. They are not difficult to replace; you want an AV drive eg Link to eBuyer

    does this mean I have definitely lost all of the programs recorded, are there any other options?

    Hard to say without knowing what has happened. How old is the Humax? If less than two years then it is worth talking to Humax. If you feel inclined to open the Humax, you can check that the cables are properly attached to the hard drive at both ends. If the drive has died, then unless you want to use a data recovery company at substantial expense, then I would guess the programs are indeed lost.

    it's probably around 5 years old, not worth spending money on, I will get it opened anyway just to see. Thanks for the info.
