    Hi sorry if this has been mentioned before. I have two Humax recorders and they have worked well for a number of years, the occasional freeze which means I have to reboot. However the my main concern is that when I go on holiday both devices will record series for the first two weeks but invariably fails to record if we are away more than 14 days. There is no problem when we are home and using the television and humax boxes on a daily basis. Is there a reason for this to happen? This is not a new problem it has happened every year since we bought the humax boxes one is a 500gb model and the other is a 1000gb model (a couple of years newer)

    Thanks Phil

    Welcome to our forum

    Guessing you have padding set. Simply set the start time and end time to auto.

    Alternatively set a daily wake up timer to refresh the epg.

    On 0800 - Off 0815. Channel BBC1-HD, Volume 10

    When you use padding the box wakes up at the scheduled time instead of 15 mins before. During this period the box has the opportunity to refresh the epg.

    Without it the epg loses a day every 24hrs. So it's stops recording after 7 days.

    Post if you don't know how to do this on both boxes.

    Hi Graham sorry I just reposted your post! I have set a power on and power off to the time you recommended. The buffer was and remains on auto. Thanks for the information and when we come back from our next holiday hopefully the recordings will have worked.

    Thanks again. Phil

    Hi Graham Just a couple of things to check in the setup menu the buffer is in the recording menu? The wake up is in the Time menu? I do not have a choice for volume in my setup.
