    Do hope somebody can help here.
    In the middle of recording something - the red recording light is on.
    I try to access Menu thro remote and nothing happens. I think it's remote battery failure so change and still nothing.
    I open flap on Humax and press the meunu button - still nothing. None of the buttons do anything.
    It was working well a short while ago but seems suddenly to have gone wrong.
    Any advice please. I'm 72 and non-techie I'm afraid.

    i don't think you have any option but to turn off the mains and see if the box recovers when the power is restored.

    Panic over folks - I pulled out all the plugs, left them a minute and then plugged in again and now all is well!

    I did peruse some other posts though and wondered about this updating with special software. How do I do that please - is it on the menu somewhere? Thanks

    Thanks Martin - I posted my reply at the same time as yours!
    You were right - turning off the mains did fix it.
    Have you any view about my other question about updating software?
    The set works fine usually so is there any need?

    What software version is the box currently running (press Menu then select System then Status)?

    My 9200 has occasionally done the same thing whilst doing an instant recording with the end time extended. The recording just keeps going until you realise something is wrong and, as Martin says, switching off the mains for a short time is the only way to recover. I don't worry too much about it.

    Software version HPTTFI.00.26

    Version 1.00.26 is the latest so nothing to be gained by updating.
