Ours updated itself sometime between yesterday evening and lunchtime today. No notification when we woke it up, so we were a bit surprised to find the new layout for the recording schedule and recording library screens. However, our initial reaction was positive. It's great to have the space-saving list format for recordings, and even the grid version with tiles has been improved to fit 16 on screen at once. I'm sure we'll notice more changes as we use it.

Bit of a surprise a couple of days ago to find a completely different 'Recordings' screen - seems to have updated itself into the FVP5000 firmware, and not, this time, deleted all the programmes set to record. That's an improvement!
The 'recent' option seems to have vanished, which is a backward step, along with the images of the programmes recorded. Apart from that it looks functional.

That's an improvement!I can't recall mine ever losing the recording schedule when the software has updated; I don't think it should. It does lose the schedule if I retune the box to get new channels.

I thought the same about the 'Recent' option, but it is still there, however it is more difficult to access.
On Demand > left to Recordings > down to 'Recently Added or Continue Watching.
For what they're worth, I recently had about half a dozen thumbnails of a fish fillet for 6 different 5USA programmes
the programme images are still there too, on the 'Grid' view of the 'Recordings' page, and there are now more of them with 16 compared to 12 in the 'List' view.

Not particularly keen on the fact that each time you switch the Humax back on, 'list' is the default setting for the recordings and you have to select the 'grid' option if that's how you want to see them. Ideally it's something you would set in preferences.
Not a fan of that 'Top Picks' nonsense either but I just won't use it!

Mine is the same as Tindersticks; each day when I switch it on it has defaulted to 'List' and I change it to 'Grid'.
Maybe it retains the settings for a certain length of time before it defaults.

Could the difference be due to the power saving settings?
Timderstick, do you have Power Saving Mode set to 'On'?
SSThing, do you have Power Saving Mode set to 'Off'?| Fri 2 Mar 2018 18:38:54 #69 | -
I have just tried for five minutes off and it still works, I guess I will have to wait til tomorrow to find out lol
I have no power saving options selected, nor do I put my unit into standby as a rule.| Fri 2 Mar 2018 18:41:46 #70 |
