OP, can I suggest you ring Humax and explain what's happening and ask for a replacement? Humax are very efficient about swapping boxes.
This was suggested a while ago, Humax Customer Support is probably a better option for the OP (original poster) as the OP cannot confirm which version of software is on the box, nor if the box is tuned into multiple transmitters, or how long the box freezes for before powering off, my Humax can pause for 30 seconds or more at times after coming out of iplayer and going into media whilst recording.
The OP hasn't even been able to confirm how the box is powered off during this inconsistent fault that seems quite consistent at the moment, and whether powering off is by going into standby or pulling the plug, pulling the plug is likely to lead to file system corruption and further possible problems, I don't think we even know for sure whether hdmi or scart is being used and no mention of network wifi/cable/home-plugs etc. and whether the router is being powered off overnight which seems to be cropping up more often.
The OP has confirmed that 'this and that has been done; however without knowing for sure the most basic information such as which version of software is on the box it's impossible to offer any advice except for contacting Humax CS
My apologies if this information has been forthcoming, but I can't see a single piece of relevant information apart from the OP is clearly struggling with the box.
