Hi
The EPG for the PT 1800 only extends up to 8 days but we will be going away for 2 weeks over Xmas. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to record/view programmes outside the 8-day limit?
BBC iPlayer is a thought but I don't want to watch on a small PC screen - can iPlayer be channelled through my PC to the Humax/TV?

You can set a manual reservation (also set a repeat pattern) for any time and date.
If it's the same as a HDR FOX T2.
Guide - Yellow (Schedule), click OK on new reservation.

Which Humax box do you have (I don't recognise PT 1800). Most of the recent Humax boxes have BBC iPlayer built in. You should be able to connect your PC to the TV but it will depend on whether the outputs provided by the PC are compatible with the inputs on the TV.

It is a HDR 1800 T box - sorry don't know where PT came from!

The HDR-1800T is capable of recording series with just 1 setting of the timer. The recordings will go on for however long the series is for. When selecting a programme from a series in the guide to record it will offer you the option to record a series; you will need to select the series option and NOT manually edit the timer, and not even just select the edit timer option and just OK it, as to do so will just end up in recording only the next episode instead of the whole series.
For 1 off programmes or series that are not yet due to start in the next 7 days then you will need to go into the schedule list. In the schedule list there is an option to set a timer just like you would have done for an old fashioned VCR.
. Press GUIDE - the programme guide should be displayed;
. Then press the Yellow button - the schedule should be displayed with 'New Reservation' highlighted;
. Then press OK - you will then have a timer displayed which you can change to match the recording you want. Update it and then press 'OK'.
Thanks to everyone for their help!
