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.

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 AR 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 by
