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 :-

1. The Humax does not update the EPG when it wakes at 4:30am to look for OTAs
2. The Humax does not update the EPG in Standby
3. The Humax does not update the EPG while it is recording
4. The Humax does not update the EPG prior to recording in Padding Mode
5. The Humax will update the EPG prior to recording in Accurate Recording mode
6. The Humax will update the EPG during a >15Min Auto On / Off or schedulled reminder
7. 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
