Hi'
No idea why but the front display on my freesat box has no indication of what the box is actually doing, like when its recording i have no way of knowing this and its very annoying. i think this happened after the last software update, But i can't confirm that.

I've included my system information in a pic attached to this post.

Any help to get the front panel indication led's to show again would be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Simon

It is as a result of the last update, engineers have been asked to look into and produce a fix for future update.

I had the same question & with the discussions on this forum successfully reverted back to the previous firmware version & got the icons back. Some posters aren't bothered about the icons but I check the green recording icon when the unit was in standby & find it useful. I believe Humax & Freesat are looking in to the problem & will fix with a future update.

i came from the sky+ HD and it was so easy to see if 1 of my progs were recording so i guess i just got use to the reinsurance that it was recording, So i think i will look into reverting back to a previous firmware version.

It's not a case of being bothered, we just couldn't see them!

You need to learn to trust it. I can see why coming from Sky you might be distrustful. However, my box is around 2 years old, is used every single day and I have only had one failed record in that time, and even that was a planner error.

I fully expect the box to go tits up now I have written this.

"no chance of ever reading them so no loss for me."

Well it did sound like you weren't that bothered , and you weren't that bothered because you couldn't see them.

If it's more complicated than that then let us know. If not then maybe we could more on and those of us with the visual acuity to make use of them can roll back or wait for their return.

I don't trust the box at all. its missed recordings and often stops the recording before the program has ended leaving me to go online and find the on demand replay.

also them display lights are a part of this box so to just not have them working would have been a none sale if i brought it from a shop i would return it.

its not just having reinsurance that a prog is recording it also lets me know if i actually did press the record button or not, so should i press it again or that would stop it? if i did press it again? it would be so easy if i could see a display even if i could not read it i would still see a green light in the rec led location.

if i could turn back time i would not have got this box, even the "freetime" sucks and i end up using my PC or my smart tv to get online replays/demand/anytime/freetime.

If anyone has a recommendation on a good freesat box i would like to know and will put this one on ebay.

Kind Regards
Simon

If the boxes is on pressing recordings - most recent will tell you what is currently recording with no magnifying glass required.
