I have just back from Humax.
Rather than write it all out for them, I asked them to look at this thread.
I'm not sure if they read anything, or just sent a standardised reply.
Anyway, they suggest that I carry out a factory reset.
I'll try to get to the weekend when the schedule isn't as full before I do it.
I only bought it in January, so its still under guarantee.
Will a factory reset blank all recordings, settings and schedules etc?
Sounds like the disk isn't being spun up
I couldn't wait till the weekend to reset, as the damn thing didn't record anything yesterday.
I did the F.reset around 2:00 this morning, and keeping fingers crossed - seems to be o.k,,,, so far !
A few posts in other threads re this problem....and it has been highlighted to Humax Towers.
Each time this has happened to me (on numerous software versions, not just the latest)
Putting unit into standby, wait 2 minutes, disconnect power for 30 mins then reapply power and boot up has worked.

Consumers in this day and age shouldn't have to do that though, surely?
Had this problem for months,every time I contact Humax all they say is do a factory reset, but it never changes a thing. It's time they took some responsibility for the problem If they can't sort it out why should we have to!!
Can anyone recommend a different brand of box, because I for one, have finished with this!!
Hi Glovebox, I have heard people say the Panasonic Freeview play boxes is very good, they are a little more expensive though might be worth a gamble.
But I have found that most makes of boxes at times have some sort of bugs appear in them.
