Hi

Has anyone experienced the schedule going missing? I had a whole bunch of recordings set up and most had been doing their thing for a few weeks then last night......boom blank list nothing there. All i did was turn it on......

Any Ideas

Probably the 'automatic' retune scheduled by Humax for the channels change 19th Sep (yesterday, 1300).
It will ask, if you're there to see it, and then go ahead and do it anyway if you happen not to be there to see it.
That wipes the schedule, so it's best to have a backup to recover from (see rs and custom software).

Note there will be another, provisionally booked for 17th October.

Humax have been told numerous times about this and that we do not like it.

The problem has been solved with Custom Firmware for at least the last 12 months.

I think Humax feel it is not important for them to fix it at their end, despite fixing it for Foxsat boxes a while ago.

I was left guessing what had happened to my schedule so my thanks to dandnsmith. My schedule took a long time to produce so this is very annoying. You suggest"it's best to have a backup to recover from". How do I do this?

The custom firmware mentioned above afaik has the capability to save your recording schedule (like the Foxsat-hdr custom firmware). Other than that take a photograph of the screen using a digital camera.

Yes, the custom firmware takes a daily backup of your recording schedule and allows you to restore it following a retune. It will also automatically follow changes in channel numbers etc. during the restore. You can take a manual backup at any time too.

Very helpful info on yesterday's lost schedule..thanks very much.
Is it possible to stop the automatic retune? Can I switch this off, somehow?
Thanks.

You can by using the custom firmware.

Thanks, Graham....but I've no idea what custom firmware is, I'm afraid. Any helpful hints welcome.
Cheers.

It does need your box and a PC connected to a home network.
