rdoody - do you want to list all your bugs? I only have one that's intermittent and easily-worked around. I'm sure the guys at HUMAX have plenty of testing and QA in place. However much testing and QA you do that is never going to guarantee that the software has no bugs.
I for one am very happy with the release.

I rather think Humax will be tied up in solving an issue that really does affect a Humax box. Namely the inexplicable and apparently random failure to record of the new BBC-HD channels on the Freeview-HD pvrs.

While I welcome the update and look forward to the remote-record app, I have to say that on the whole the current batch of Humax PVRs seem to me a bunch of under-achievers.
Two DTR-T1000s died on me within 18 months. The HDR-2000T I bought after the failure of the second YouView is faulty and requires frequent resets, plus no loophrough in standby. The HB-1000S works the best of the lot, but the UI is gloomy and shadowy and not very pleasant to use. Even getting into the EPG is unnecessarily longwinded, for what reason is mysterious to me.
I wish Humax would give the freetime boxes a new UI, and get YouView and the HDR-2000T up to scratch.
Disappointing.

They can't, the UI is Freesat/Freeviews domain. Basically they build the box, Freesat or Alan Sugars lot design the UI.

If another maker were to build one the UI would be the same apart from the Humax entry in the menus.

And they're similarly co-dependent with YouView over the DTR1000. As far as I'm concerned, this is part of the problem.grahamlthompson - 52 seconds ago »

My box is now booting up quicker. It was taking 90 seconds before (despite people saying here I was making it up) and now it's about 35.

The normal boot time was about 35 seconds on the previous firmware. If you look there are several posts confirming this. Perhaps they were thinking that as was normal you had the 35 second or so boot time.

90secs!!! When did you last change the batteries?
Well I have never checked my boot up time before, but timed it just now and it was 10secs Do I get a prize for that Graham? A goldfish will do because ours died last week
