BTW Is there a circuit diag available or have peeps been reverse engineering?
All reverse engineering.
There is mention of testing the unit working with disk disconnected, didnt know that was possible, do you have to remove both the pwr & the signal multiplug connectors to do this safely?
My recollection is that a single plug is used for both power and signal.
Also now noticed the fan doesnt run atall which may have been the reason for the unit starting to fail due to overheating or may be a result of the fault.
With the standard firmware the fan only runs when the temperature is too high so not a fault.
If I do manage to get another FOX is it possible to simply swap the old nearly full disk into another unit or is there id authentication etc preventing this?
There is encryption that is specific to an individual box. Ask about that over at hummy.tv.

forgot to ask how do i know a coax cable for tv cable is good shielded one or how to find one on line?
You are looking for a double screened copper cored cable such as WF100.

No They are quite far apart as radio is upstairs and huumax is downstairs so cables never touch each other. i have used my radios for about a year now with out problems until recently also my radio coax is well shielded and I believe tv coax is as well but hard to tell as its a pre made cable
OK, this outside of my knowledge; you could try posting the problem over at https://hummy.tv if you don’t get answers here.

When I use my amateur radio the signal on Humax box drops down and down until it says 0% on signal and quality but as soon as i stop using the radio the signal and quality goes back up
OK that is pretty conclusive. Is the aerial cable for the radio close to the aerial feed for the Humax? Are both cables well screened?

Top off, PSU caps all look good. Any ideas? CPU not firing up properly cos trying to read faulty front panel?
It could be a known fault with a capacitor on the circuit board see https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/start-up-fails-when-hdd-connected.10164/page-7 which is part way through a thread on finding the problem and how to fix it (NB needs soldering skills).

TV picture goes off or it Pixelates. Humax model is HDR-2000T
If you use the menus on the Humax what is the reported signal strength and quality when the picture is poor?

in our house we have 2 tv’s one connected to a Humax DVR box and one connected to the freeview built in the tv the only tv that’s affected is the one connected to the Humax DVR Box
Please could you tell us which model of Humax PVR you have and what are the symptoms you are seeing?

I have three TV’s and the 4000T all fed from the same aerial. the three TV’s tune in identical channels but the 4000T has several annoying differences.
Any explanation???
Have you tried retuning the FVP-4000T with the Smart tune option off 9note that you will lose your schedule of future recordings)? If that doesn’t help then give us two or three examples of differences.

This Humax Aura is constantly blinking and screen going black.
It used to to it when watching different content on Youtube, but I accepted that it was part of this machines thing, but its doing it more and more now.
Even the home screen.
Any ideas, apart from throw it out of the window?
What resolution settings are you using and what make and model of TV do you have please?

So… You’ve suggested report it to Humax support.
How is that done and what is the link please?
Support contact details: Tel: 0344 318 8800 or email uksupport@humax-digital.co.uk

Hi Martin, it’s all a bit strange last night I managed to be able to watch all of Programmes. I wanted BBC One, Quest,ch4…this morning non of those. just going through the channels now first one works is That’s Tv. Sky arts,now Quest is back on-QVC,Really… So as I said, I am getting a signal from the box to the TV do you think I have pressed something in settings?
No I don’t think it is anything you have done; as others have suggested it is probably due to the unusual atmospheric conditions. You might try talking to an aerial installer to see if a different aerial would help. Have you tried talking to the neighbours to see if they all have the same problem when viewing TV via an aerial?

Hi A1944- yes there’s improvements, but not all channels are available. So a signal is getting through but obviously not ideal….
Could you give us some examples of channels that you can’t receive please?

The HD recording was because the SD signal into the 1800T is a bit weak as it is at the end of the chain, while the HD signal is adequate for some reason…
What is the the signal strength as reported by the Humax?
I’m reasonably certain it’s the service name change which broke the demultiplex/decoding on this machine as it doesn’t autoscan and track service changes, unlike most of the newer stuff in the house.
I think all the HD Humax models needed a retune to get BBC1 HD.
If it was used as Humax intended with an internet connection it might be different.
Whether or not there was an internet connection, it would still have needed a retune.
