    Other half has just bought Humax Freetime 500GB box. He has plugged in and got it working. However when the TV programmes are displayed the time is 2 hours behind what it should be. Where does he change the time?
    Cheers

    Hi welcome to the forum. A tad puzzled (you are in the UK ?), if you press pause while watching a live broadcast what time does the on screen digital clock top left say ? It should be the current correct BST time.

    Has he by any chance set up the box as a Free To Air box by using manual tune. If so need to switch the box back to Freesat mode.

    No he wouldn't know how to - technophobe. He just plugged it in - it works fine but the time is wrong. It comes up with the usual Freetime logo.

    Baffled - If he watches say 108 (BBC1-HD) and presses pause, what time does the on screen clock say.

    Where are you reading the time from ? What version of software does settings General Info report the box has ?
    If you turn off power saving in sby and put the box in sby what time is displayed on the front panel ?

    See a post on this before - a standby cycle cured it.
    Presume the time zone (GMT/BST) is set at boot time before it gets the EPG time.

    Thanks guys. Due to thunderstorms last night he switched everything off and voila it has rectified itself today. He's a very happy bunny. I'm sure there may well be more questions to follow.
    Cheers
