Calling any Humax PVR 9x00T users

[RogerS]

Is your EPG (aka programme guide) running very slow? Lots of gaps in it that take ages to fill - if ever. Only programme data for a few days ahead when previously you had at least 7 days?

Unfortunately there is an inherent design flaw in this series as Humax have not allowed enough room for the EPG with all the muxes/channels that are around. You can try and mitigate any problems by carrying out a manual tune to ensure that you are only picking up the correct MUXes from the right transmitter but that only stops things getting any worse. There is still this inherent design flaw.

There are two solutions. One - buy a different PVR. Two - go down the channel lists and decide which mux you can do without. I manually tuned to just three muxes and by the time I'd finished off the third one, the EPG had already populated. I added one more mux and gaps started to re-appear. Such a shame that the commercial boys haven't put all those crappy shopping channels on the one mux as that would have made life easy.

Note that you have to remove the whole MUX. Deleting channels in your PVR will not make any difference.

Roger, I have also been having trouble with my Humax hdr fox T2.
Programing is slow using the controller these days, it has not helped with all the channel changes going on and having to retune. Twice recently.

Or is it only the West Country having these retuning problems?

Countrywide I think?
We had one publicised change in September but another one took place last week automatically without prior notice?
The only thing it messes up is the recording schedule which you have to redo but I took photos of ours on my phone which made the task much simpler.
Haven't noticed any problems with our HDR FOX T2?

Same here. I got home to find all scheduled recordings gone. I think I've found most of the programmes I use to record.
