    we have sold 2 of these units and both customers were complaining about missed recordings and series link not working,a software download seems to have cured these problems,but 1 of the cutomers is now checking every function and is now complaining that the ff and rew speed only reaches x32 when in the instruction book it says it should reach x64,and his other gripe is that you cannot play back in slow motion by keeping your finger on the play button even though it says you can in the instructions,any thoughts anybody.

    Yes - Both functions are not implemented - freesat have said they are not possible and the manual will be corrected.
    I presume the chipset does not support them.

    Very petty.

    I think the system should have a lock out for serial whingers

    The customer is petty because he bought a box which doesn't do things which the manual says it should ?

    The petty bit is who wants x64 fast forward it's near unusable, which is probably why it was dropped. Actually measuring it is shall we say somewhat eccentric

    The two item have never been part of the units advertisements.

    If we only took note of what's said in the advert it'd appear to be a very expensive pvr with catchup.
    Mine goes at the weekend and alternative already working so doesn't really matter what Humax do.

    Long term I'm not sure what to do. Possibly add a twin lnb tuner to the mini pc which sits under the TV. Or maybe get one of the cheap linux based boxes. Thay way I can still have full epg and series link stuff but also have web access for catchup type stuff.

    Until then I'm using patched Sky box.
