Problem: Recordings keep failing. Sometimes when I record a programme, I get an error message and I lose the recording.

Solution 1:
Recordings fail for a number of reasons. If you schedule the recording and it records - but records the wrong thing - the box might be tuned to two different regions. Reset the channels and manually tune them if you suspect this to be the case. If the unit is on a series record but has missed the programme, check the programme guide to see if future episodes are being recorded. It may have identified the programme as a different series for some reason, so set a series link on any future episodes that are not being recorded.
Other failed recordings can show a problem with the unit. One or two failed recordings do not necessarily mean that your unit has a fault - it could be due to a power cut or your box could have (unluckily!) frozen or crashed prior to the start of the programme.
However, if there are numerous failed recordings and it continues to occur even though you can watch TV OK, it sounds like a problem with the hard disk and this will need to be either repaired or replaced. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.
Problem: No loop-through amplification means I have to keep pvr powered up to watch television. Have been told there is a way of connecting to antenna to enable watching t.v. without power to p.v.r. Is this true . How is it done ?.

Solution 1:
I think that it is the fact that the unit DOES have loop through amplification that this problem arises, as when the unit is powered off, the internal loop through amp or buffer circuit is also powered off. My fix is to use an aerial splitter at the wall aerial outlet socket. Feed the TV directly from one of the splitter outputs and the PVR from the other, thereby avoiding the use of loop through. I am happy to provide more info if you wish.

- Update on solution 3: It turns out that this situation is not as terminal as I originally thought. It looks like something as simple as cutting power to the box (NOT just putting it into standby) is enough to make it lose contact with the disk - though this is clearly not fatal.
The disk can be reconnected by triggering a SCHEDULED recording (pressing the record button does not work). As soon as the scheduled recording starts, you'll find that the Media button is working again.

Solution 3:
I've just had the same problem on mine. As far as I can make out, this is a symptom of the hard drive becoming inaccessible. This diagnosis is supported by: a) Go to Menu>Music and look at the HDD icon at top right - it says HDD unavailable b) Go to Menu>Settings>System - Data Storage is greyed out.
This does not necessarily mean that the drive itself has failed (it could be something on the main circuit board) - you might be able to recover recorded programs by connecting the drive to a PC.
Unfortunately, this is pretty terminal, unless you're prepared to open up the unit and try replacing the drive. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.
Problem: The unit has just frozen up. It keeps freezing and then shutting itself down.

It can be extremely frustrating when this happens. Most of the time, there isn't much you can do other than turn it off and then on again, at the mains if the power button isn't responding.
However, there are a few things you can check to help prevent it in the future. Number one is check how hot it is. Freezing can happen when the unit isn't properly ventilated or is in a hot place. Make sure all the vents are uncovered and there is nothing on top of it. You might also want to check for system updates. Finally, you might consider turning the unit off and then on again regularly to reboot it. Freezing often occurs when it has been running for a long time, so once a week or so you could try to reboot it by switching it off and on. If you don't want to do this yourself, you might consider buying a timer switch to do this for you at a time you know you won't be using the machine, e.g. 4AM. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.

Solution 1:
Use the MEDIA button to find the programme you are recording use the stop button (square) to stop the recording. Then using the OPT+ button you can delete it. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.

Problem: The volume keeps going on the Humax box & only way to keep the volume on is to hold the button down. Tried turn it on & off on the machine & plugs but nothing works. Problem started yesterday with the tv changing channels for no reason but seems to have stopped that today but the volume kept popping up when nothing had been pressed.
Problem: Got a Human Hdrt2000, my partner turned the box on and there is no sound or picture just a blank screen. Cannot bring any menus up - nothing. Tried unplugging it to reset several times still nothing. It is linked to a Sony TV.
Problem: my humax 2000t internet connection works well with Ethernet cable. When I tried with dongle the following happened: I followed the procedure through setup; put in network name and password ; ok, pressed apply message says connecting, but finally says no connection. I inserted the dongle in the front port but it did not work. but it does work using rear port.
Problem: Remote control not working on PVR I have checked batteries they're fine. Flashes red light to box okay purchased in March 2016 Humax will only work when operated from box
Problem: The unit is frozen on the travel channel and no buttons on the remote work. Previously only the media button stopped working so I turned off the Humax for ten minutes and all worked again. But now this new frozen problems. This time turning off and on again doesn't solve it. Any help appreciated.
