I have been using my HDR 1000S 500MB for some 6 weeks only to be informed by my Internet Service Provider (Plusnet) that I was about to blow my Internet Broadband Usage Allowance. I find that with the HDR box connected to the net, my internet usage increases by some 500MByte daily (ie 15 GBytes per month). In this time I have only used on-demand TV once. I contacted Humax, who had little idea of how to fix it, so replaced the box. The new box is no better and still consumes about 500MBytes daily.
Can anyone account for this excess usage and suggest how to stop it, without unplugging the box from the net?
