I'm dead meat, Great British Bakeoff failed to record. A quick check reveals that all recording schedules gone!
Is this my machine having problems or has there been an automatic update?

probably an automatic retune today that wiped your schedule, a real pain and without custom firmware no real way to get round it.
afaik, the programme is repeated 4th October and also available on iplayer| Wed 1 Oct 2014 20:43:54 #2 | -
Fortunately able to download to laptop which, having connected to TV, the missus is watching.
So these automatic retunes, what triggers them and is there no way to control them?

happens a couple of times a year from Freeview. Unfortunately recently start of September and again today 1st October, freeview rejigging channel numbers.
Humax don't keep the schedule as the channel numbers have/may-have changed and it's too difficult to write software to track what channel/s has/have moved to where so Humax just wipe it to be on the safe side.
The only solution I know is to install the custom firmware (CF). This makes a backup every night which in the event of an automatic retune can be put back in place. Custom firmware also turns the hdr-fox-t2 into a brilliant machine, the one we always wanted.
CF can impede an automatice retune if set up properly, but you might want a retune so there's no clear answer.
My advice, install CF then at least you have the option to rescue the schedule.| Wed 1 Oct 2014 23:15:19 #4 | -
Yep happened to me too and didnt think about there being another retune event.
Humax really need to fix this behavior on the T2!
Thank god I'm running custom firmware..| Thu 2 Oct 2014 7:58:56 #5 | -
Had a long and fruitless conversation with humax representative yesterday regarding these unstoppable channel updates. Very frustrating when you've just set up a long schedule for going away and also deleted all the channels that you don't want. Given that the whole point of the product is to allow you not to miss stuff when you are not at home, I would have thought that it is questionable whether the product is actually 'fit for purpose' given also that there is no warning of the schedule having been wiped !

Welcome to the Forum
Whilst there is no warning of schedule being wiped, it is a consequence of a channel rescan which does have a warning i.e. a pop up on boot of unit.

Because I was aware of the 1st October retune I had installed the custom firmware remote scheduling package and was able to restore the schedule. Barry do you know why Humax are so reluctant to modify the software so that the schedule to be patched up after the retune rather than deleted? To my mind this is the major failing of the Humax software across quite a few different models.
