Several times recently I have pressed pause but all I get is an error message. Doesn't matter how long I wait I still get the same error.

In 5&1/2 years with the 1000S I've never seen that, nor has it ever been reported here as I recall. I would guess at a hard disk problem. Try as a first step a hard disk cleanup (which will not erase any data). 2nd a factory reset (recording schedule is lost), 3rd a hard disk format (everything is lost). Lastly, looks like a disk replacement.

Lastly, looks like a disk replacement.It was reported a few times when the box was relatively new. It's generally down to file corruption of the time shift buffer file (perhaps as a result of a power cut). The same condition was found on the Foxsat-HDR for which the custom firmware offered a simple fix. Afaik only a disk format will fix a affected G2 box if the file is corrupt.
As you say try a reset (never found the disk clean up to do anything).

Thanks both. I'm running a disk clean now, hadn't noticed the option before!
Has anyone tried removing the disk and mounting it on a PC to fix things?
[Edit] Disk clean hasn't fixed it. Got too many recordings I want to keep so destructive methods are out of the question. Will have to live without the Pause function!

Photograph the schedule first using a digital camera.
The recording partition is apparently encrypted so you can't access it on a PC which itself needs to be booted into Linux.

Thanks for the tips!
I recall from replacing the HD in an older model that there were several partitions. I was wondering if the time-shift buffer was in its own partition. Maybe if that could be wiped it would be re-created?
PS I use DiskInternals Linux Reader to access such disks under Windoze.

D'oh! Yes, of course. Ages since I had to do anything like that. I have some Linux VMs lying around, maybe I used one of those.

Factory Reset hasn't worked either.
Is there anyone from Humax UK here? I submitted a support request (2017-12-13 15:10:14) but heard nothing back despite their promise to, "respond to you (sic) email inquiry with in 24-48 hours."
