After working fine since May 2015, I have found that my HDR-1000S 1TB box is the cause of my home network locking up!
This problem started several weeks ago and to restore the network I had to power off/on the Netgear switches (the BT Hub5 continued to work throughout providing WiFi access to the Internet but it couldn't be accessed by the PCs connected to the wired network). By adding back different parts of my home network I was able to eventually find that the problem was being caused the HDR-1000S box.
When the HDR-1000S is connected to the network the following messages appear on the screen about every 20 seconds:
LAN cable is plugged
LAN cable is unplugged
LAN cable is plugged
etc
This HDR-1000S box is the second replacement by Humax for my origianl which lost all its recordings several times (the first replacement box was replaced within a week because it locked up and the case was too hot to touch!).
I suppose this network issue can't be easily fixed and Humax have done their bit by replacing the original box and so they can't be asked to fix it.
Thinking of buy the HDR-1100S 2TB box as it has both LAN and WiFi network connections. Any major issues with the HDR-1100S?
