David Parker: Humax is a quality brand, and which unlike most others is "not" a brand name that has been tagged onto a standard chassis that is also known under a host of other names, with this being the reason why some odd fault being reported might coincidentally (but not!) appear on more than one brand name, the Turkish manufactured Vestel chassis being known by at least 15+ different brand names including Philips, Hitachi, Digihome etc to name but a few.
Regarding the updates, the reason for them being frequently mentioned is simply because they are a company with excellent back up facilities, and many of these notifications are either for different models in their comprehensive range of Freesat & Freeview devices, or are simply repeats of updates that have been previously made, this just in case someone has missed them by having their box switched off completely rather than being left in standby. (which should always be done!)
Below is a link to their website where you can see their entire ranges of equipment, plus there is also a Humax users site where virtually any query a person might have can be answered by dedicated enthusiasts of Humax equipment. (myself having three of their devices, a Freesat HDR and two older 9200T Freeview PVR's)
Humax devices are always that little bit more expensive, but up to a point you get what you pay for, my only criticism of Humax being that they aren't quite so user friendly as far as their menu systems are concerned but which I can put up with for sake of having a box that dedicated spares can be obtained for, something which you cannot do for practically ever other brand, but its your choice as the special offer mentioned by Mark is quite appetising if you want to keep costs down.

David Parker been a reading your previous postings, as regards your freeview set top box. Fully agree with are all the advice you have been given. As regards the name of Humax, I appreciate you may not have heard of it before, but it is a known brand not made for Argos. It is sold in lots of outlets. Simply Google the name and you will see the results. Along with a few makes they make boxes for freeview and satellite. Good luck in getting your money back and are getting a new set top box I have had my Humax since freeview HD started, Emley moor.

jb38: You say that boxes should always be left in standby and not turned off at the mains.
I have one in my bedroom and switch it off at the mains at night, primarily due to the "Update" it does at 2am and 5am, necessitating the fan to run.
There are two other PVRs in the household and they (both Pioneers) perform these updates.
Can you shed light on what they're doing during the Update?
Do all Freeview receivers do these updates at standard times of day? And if so, this must surely show up on the electricity distribution grid as all devices spring into life at the same time.
So why not have the Updates carried out at random times, as well as allow time periods to be set during which they are never carried out? Do the 2am, 5am etc Updates coincide with when some information is transmitted (which is not transmitted at other times)?

I must agree with you, and all of the others who have told me about this box.Being able to record two programs at time on a 500gig hard drive sounds very impressive.Cannot work it out how it does it but i am only a simple guy.
Gone are the days when i used to mend Decca 30's Phillips g8's g11 Bush t20's Iam no good with this moden stuff

David Parker,
Sadly few people are 'any good' with this modern stuff as it is all surface mount tech. Gone are the days of simply changing an EL34 when the audio went tits up. The old stuff was inefficient as far as power was concerned, i.e. "switch off the heating I'm putting the telly on, it'll be warm enough", but at least you had something you could get your pliers and soldering iron into.

I agree with you Ron at least when you change a valve ie el34 you could see the thing one of my worst jobs was changing a tda2600 ic in a Phillips g11 all those pins.Looking at a motherbord for a computer the wrighting is so small I have had to get a pair of glassers x3.5 magnification.looking inside one of these flat screen is a nightmare I need jodral bank telescope to see anything.They must be very clever the guys who build the things.

Dave Lindsay: Well I certainly appreciate what you mean about the cooling fan noise levels being annoying, and especially so when a box is sited in a bedroom, but equipment searching for updates in the early hours of the morning is basically programmed for that to happen at these times from within the box itself, and simply because the chances of an update being successfully downloaded within the time slot allocated by the broadcaster always stands a better chance if done in the early hours of the morning over that any other time, as in the early hours of the morning most peoples boxes will be sitting in standby ready to spring into action on PSB1 at the predetermined time, no matter how unearthly it might be!!
Although unaware re the brand model of box that you keep switched off overnight, but on Humax 9200's you can alter the time it searches for updates from its default setting of 4.00am, or even switch them off altogether whereas on many other devices you are unable to alter anything, one rather annoying aspect of leaving the updates activated being that once the box has been triggered to start searching it will run for an allocated period of time whether or not any downloads are there to take place, or are maybe just repeats or previous ones, in other words an annoyance for no real purpose.
Of course this procedure also applied to the regular night time updates that were used by analogue VCR's equipped with PDC, these always taking place around 3am, although in the case of PDC these were always essential in the immediate sense to enable the auto-start / stop programme timers to operate correctly.
Regarding the National grid, yes I suppose it might well show as a slight surge on the control room's demand status indicators, but considering there is generally a surplus of power in the early hours of the morning its neither here nor there.
