I have the Humax HB-1000S. Once a day it updates the TV Guide data on opening the TV Guide. During the update the TV Guide picture-in-picture feature stops working for several minutes and if you are using the pause/rewind live TV feature with a connected hard drive, this will stop working too.
Is this normal? I read somewhere that this is only meant to happen on first startup and not every day. I power the unit off every night and switch it back on in the morning. I haven't tried leaving the unit on stand-by but I will try that tonight.
If this behaviour is normal, isn't there a way for the TV Guide data to be updated in the background instead of when you open the TV Guide? Couldn't a software update solve this issue?
Thanks!
