Re the problem of getting accessing recording. I got on to the Humax helpline and the ham said to give it time to download but often I turn on the machine just to watch TV and then it has plenty of time to download. He also said to go through
settings
system
data storage
and reformat.
But that is what I had to do with my old one so I am now proper fed up.
I asked what to do if the reformatting does not work and he said the box would need replacing. Can Currys argue with that?
