I'm pretty sure this happened by unknown button presses
When you push and let go the P up button the channels start changing upwards at a rate off more than 1 a second until you push the p up or p down button.
The same is happening with the volume buttons and the arrow buttons round OK
At first I thought it was the remote batteries but I removed them while the programs were changing and they just kept on changing I had to put them back in and press the p button to stop them
The number buttons appear unaffected
I've tried powering down and restarting but to no avail
Does anyone know of a solution or have any suggestions

I believe there are two common causes for the problem: the easy one is that there is another remote in the room with a key stuck down eg under a book or a source of interference such as a fluorescent light; the difficult problem is that the infra red receiver in the Humax has become faulty and there have been a few reports of this which involved replacement under warranty. Let us know what happens.
