There is no way the software problem can have broken the remote. Yes you can test it with a camera. I assume you have checked the batteries?
yes changed them about ten times yesterday lol
looks like the remote has died at the same time what are the odds of that?
I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent advice yesterday about updating my 9150T. Like many others I hadn't updated my software for a year because I leave it on all the time.
I always assumed I would miss any scheduled recording if the device was on standby, so today I did a little experiment. I set up a recording for the afternoon, put it on standby and went out. When I came back the PVR had faithfully recorded the programme without any problem. I should have guessed it would be cleverer than me!!
Anyone else with the update/standby issue can be reassured by this I think. Once again, thanks for your help and these excellent forums.

Low power sby retains the minimum requirements for the box to wake up to record it's schedule (less than 1W). Same for all Humax pvrs satellite or terrestrial.
It's an eec requirement for all boxes sold since 2009.
Sky boxes do not comply incidentally but that's a whole new story 
Hi Barry,
You are a star - just managed to fix mum's PVR9105T with the help of your posts.
It kept locking up for no reason.
It had an old software version from 2009.
checked for ota update signal as mentioned - it found one available but kept getting 'error E-HW' and locking up. Had to keep switching off at the back and try again!
Did the reset option 4 thing, but still errored out when trying to auto update.
Next tried the manual update method ota search and it worked!
You have saved my mum the price of a new pvr - top man!
Merry Christmas
Baz

many thanks for all your help. Now back up and working.
Great - if only they would give it the functionality of the original Tivo !! Mine still works alongside the Humax and is better for some things.
Still, at least it is all back up and running, thanks to you
The new Tivos aren't bad either, though you do need a VM cable to get one.
Just to repost a few links for those who can't or won't read through a long thread.
DTG OTA download schedule
Humax digital download page for files and instructions on updating.
Humax UK Facebook page for news on updates etc.
you can also follow @humaxdigital on twitter
Thank you for your advice on this Barry , followed your instructions this morning and it worked a treat
thanks for the help
i am now up and running again but i have another problem now when i try to play a recorded program it says that this channel is not available or scrambled and there is a purple icon that says exit , after a few seconds this disappears
you cannot fast forward the message remains on the screen
any thoughts ?
Thanks for the answer to the freezing pvr-9150t box updated software today and seems to be working fine cheers

Hi again Barry
Thanks for your quick reply,i have just been told by another engineer the download is happening from 10 AM tommorrow,is this correct?, i presume all that has to be done is to put the box into stby and wait a while.
regards
David
Brilliant! Thanks to everyone for the information, my freeview box is working again after carrying out a software update. I knew something was dodgy as my parents have the same box and their's went faulty. Just need to tell them to return the new one they bought today.
