I can't believe that all timers are lost when doing a channel re-tune on the HDR FOX T2. Lots of other PVRs only lose timers on channels which change during this process (e.g. Topfield running MyStuff). I'm a programmer myself and I can't believe that Humax can't write a simple bit of code to keep timers on channels which haven't changed in the re-tune. What sort of people are they employing?

I agree!
I am so annoyed as I lost the live episode of Emmerdale tonight,and some other programmes, due to the flipping thing carrying out a retune even though I had done it earlier!
I kept getting the pop up box and didn't realise it would automatically carry out a retune wiping out my timers if I didn't put it in standby.

Isn't custom firmware for the Foxsat?

So what's the story on the custom software? I guess unsupported by Humax. How many use it?

What sort of people are they employing?You say that "Lots" of other PVR's lose timers when retuning, yet only mention One, and that one is running additional software to make it behave that way. A Topfield running native firmware also loses it's timers when retuning, so what are these "Lots" of other PVR's then?
It has already been pointed out to you that the customised firmware will allow you to back up and restore your scheduled timers.
