Hi, apologies for the length of the following!!
I have a 9150, which I haven't had any problems with, and I bought my parents one.
On Christmas Day my Dad set theirs to record three consecutive programmes on ITV while we watched BBC1. All three programmes were showing as tagged in the EPG and appeared in the recording schedule. However the middle one of the three didn't record. The EPG was also very slow to load (~15-20 mins for the full 8 days). I checked the status of their 9150 and it was the same as mine - software updated 07-07-11.
I contacted the retailer last week as we were getting fed up with the EPG and they offered me an email from Humax with the fix for the December locking problem. I pointed out that the problems were different and also the OTA software update dates had been and gone. At which point their answer was "we only know what Humax tell us". I tried the software update and as expected got "New software not found". When I rang the store they agreed to give me a new 9150 which I picked up yesterday.
Yesterday I connected it to my TV. The EPG took about 45 mins to fully load, this morning it only took a few minutes. I set it to record four consecutive programmes on ITV from 8.30 onwards and checked that they were all in the schedule. The second programme wasn't recorded.
I've set it up again to record three on the trot this evening to see what happens. Has anyone else come across this?
