Series Recording Fails
Background
It has been quite widely reported that under certain circumstances series recordings have failed when the Humax has been left un-attended for extended periods, This is due to the unit not periodically updating the EPG, The problem has been noticed more often for Padding Users due to ‘Rules 4 & 5’
Here are a set of rules that apply to EPG update :-
- The Humax does not update the EPG when it wakes at 4:30am to look for OTAs
- The Humax does not update the EPG in Standby
- The Humax does not update the EPG while it is recording
- The Humax does not update the EPG prior to recording in Padding Mode
- The Humax will update the EPG prior to recording in Accurate Recording mode
- The Humax will update the EPG during a >15Min Auto On / Off or schedulled reminder
- The Humax will update the EPG while in viewing mode
Work Around
Apply Item 6 above, This can be achieved by setting a daily Auto On / Off timer, e.g. Menu >> Settings >> Preferencies >> Time and entering an On time at a quite perion say 5:00am and an Off time 15 Minutes later
