Hi Repassac, I'm also a software developer so I appreciate there are going to be problems which are found when the units are out in there thousands. However, we're talking basic and stupid bugs here.

I believe that Humax firmware update policy is as follows. Since all terrestrial television transmitters were digitised and subsequently transmitters were HD enabled. Humax 9200t - no software update. To wait for the transmitted update. Humax PR trying to stop the bad. To issuing BETA firmware to the lucky people. Mar 03, 2013 Humax PR-HD1000C - Ebay rampone. How to Perform Software Update - Duration. Humax HDR-Fox T2 - Custom Firmware.

The new software release is worse than the original for unattended timed recordings, a bug which was highlighted on this and other forums. They really need to get this tested properly before releasing a general update to everyone. It will get them and Humax a bad name. I was just pointing out this was an not an normal situation given the normal heavy use of a test platform. Then I wonder what I would decide to do as a Product Manager? BTW whqt happened to the new origional freesat new G partner?

So, the first update for the HDR-1000S is now available[.] Hopefully a full changelog will come out soon. Anyone else notice any changes? A couple of things I think have changed: (i) Pressing 'record' when you've found a programme via search now sets the selected programme to record - before it used to start recording the current channel. (ii) Repeatedly pressing 'Skip Forward' while watching a recording used to whizz one through the programme - now the box just seems to get generally confused. So one good thing, one bad thing, and the most important thing (unreliability of recordings) seemingly ignored. The problem of starting playback at the beginning of a recording after pressing skip forward twice fast happens regardless of where you are in the recording so it's not a problem of skipping past the end.

Just tried it on a 1.5 hour recording, 10minutes in, pressed skip forward twice fast and it was back at the beginning again Also pressing the reverse button (x2,x4,x8 etc) doesn't always reverse. Sometimes I have to fast forward in order for the reverse to work.

Have the improved network streaming at all with regard to number of files it finds? Original software seemingly found a random number of playable files each time. As I'm not currently prepared to put up with the 42MB/hour internet use the box requires my box isn't connected to the network. Might considere reconnecting now I've the option of unlimited from my ISP. On mine forward skip does nothing if less than 2 minutes from the end unless you keep trying multiple times. Could the OP's problem be down to thinking the skip has stopped working and trying again and again Just remembered wasn't there a problem with a few BBC recordings when timeshifting didn't work. The problem went away the following day.

Tried Rude Tube Christmas Cracker, Downton Abbey, Call The Midwife all work OK. Jumped forward about 10 times no problem. EDIT Just managed to reproduce this by pressing the skip button really quickly twice. Markdyer72 - My 2 mins start padding (End: Aurto) is working well for me. Is that without having the need to set power on/off, and also i am assuming it would still work recording concurrent programmes one that starts straight after 1 has finished and also if they are on the same time on different channels, same rules apply in that respect that as long as box is off. Think will turn off the power on/off settings and try the 2 min padding, just incase the box isnt switched on thru day and i require recording later on that evening.

Do u only get so long to edit ur own post. Also if u have padding at the start and auto for end, does that mean if the programmed over runs it will carry on recording till the end the programme. Do you have the daily BBC1-HD Breakfast programme scheduled? Projections Of Straight Lines.

If not could you set it for tommorow to see if padding with no overnight boot programmed allows this to be recorded.? Yep will set that for tomorro i had the princess diaries set to record at 9am this morning with 2 min padding and no auto boot and it recorded and just checked and got the whole lot. Will test out with bbc1 hd breakfast tomorro morning. Another niggle i have found is if ya skip forward the recording if ya do it a bit too fast it goes back to the beginning, and also sometimes when ya FF 32x it does it too. Will report back with mornin recordings, assuming thats the 6am one tomorro )saturday) morning.
