Freesat box
 

My Freesat Humax HDR 1100. S, 500GB Recorder has been going crazy tonight, I timed in a programme for 7 30 and one for 8 30". They never recorded, When I opened up the folders which had series in them from previous nights They had disappeared , Now there is nothing timed in, yet it still says I have used up 57% of the disk, What on earth is the matter? Is my box just passed its best. Please advise

A factory reset can usually fix problems like this. I don't have quite the same Humax box as you, but on mine you press the button with the Freesat symbol on it (it has a pink ring around it on my remote). Then you choose settings from the menu. One of the six options below that will allow you to reset the box.

If you havent done so already, remove the mains plug & leave it off for an hour or so, then plug back in.

I have had a similar situation with a VM V+ box, & a long reset fixed it.

Thanks, I seem to have things back again, I unplugged the the TV and it was fine when I put it back on, Hope it stays that way. My recorded programmes are still there, This Cable Forum is really a great site

Problem seemed to be ok when I reset the box, but i think there must be spokes somewhere because sometimes at midday I find the box and TV does not connect at first go, I have to switch it off and on at the wall before the tv starts,

Did you reset the box, or did you just switch it off for a while? If you haven't yet performed a full factory reset, now may be the time to try it.
