My HDR 2000t will boot up from red led to blue led then goes back to red led standby ,it was working fine up untill yesterday.also ive noticed that the led goes black when going from red to blue .it never used to do that
Does it still work? If yes why worry; my HDR-2000T sometimes boots up in a strange way if it’s been unplugged.
These days if I unplug, when getting it going again I plug in and wait. The led goes blue then red. I the switch on with the remote and wait until I hear the disk spin up and the picture come on ghe screen. After that that it’s fine. Occasionally if I try to rush it the hard drive isn’t recognised and it won’t record or playback. I think the processor in some models is a bit slower than people may be used to and you have to “tune in” to the response.
no i cant used it as it boots then goes straight back to stand by
I have the 2000T and mine is the same, you just turn it back on with the remote and away you go, no problem.
This model when disconnected from the mains will always go to standby and so does my 4000T when they reboot.
If your tuning it on with remote from stanby and it keeps going back to standby then you may have a problem.

What you can do is remove the remote control from the room or take out the batteries and turn on from the box itself, just tap the power symbol on the left hand side of the box.
If the box comes on and stays on, this may indicate there is a button stuck down on the remote or batteries may be getting weak as they don’t last long.
The light on the remote may flicker dimly and carry flickering when you release the button on the remote.
If the remote continues to flicker when you release the button then there maybe a button stuck or sticking.
If it flicker dimly then change the batteries.
But try the above first.
If taking the box out of standby from the box don’t work then your box may have developed a software fault.
Also one other thing you could try is completely unplug the box and leave it over night and try it again the next day if none of the above work.
Is the box still under guarantee.
ill give that a try thanks,i know if i leave it over night it works fine for about 5 minutes !! then the fault reappears
If it don’t work it maybe ether a software or hard drive problem.
If your box is still under warranty then give Humax a bell or email them.
If your box is out of warrant and if your brave just take the cover off and disconnect the hard drive, and power it up, if it works then you know that drive is gone faulty.
But check in setting to check to see if your box as got the low power setting to off, as this could cause problems to.
thanks for that ,ill give it a go and report back
tried all that still the same ,ive just discovered though if i leave the humax about 10 minutes after it goes to stand by it works fine ,its like if i turn it on and off too many times close together it goes to standby!!
Glad you were able to get it to work.
Mine sometimes when you take it out of standby takes a while to access the library but that’s all.
Mine is about 5 years old and is in constant use and still a great little box.

Having owned one myself I don’t think you could ever describe the HDR 2000T as a ‘great little box’. It is without doubt one of Humaxs’ worst ever products, mainly due to it being built to a penny pinching price point.

There is nothing wrong with 2000T, its you just did not like model end of.
I not a lover on the 4000T apart from you can record 4 programmes at a time and the Freeview Play bit although a lot of TVs have it now.
The guide on the 4000T is basic and clunky, the recordings you cant put in to your own folders like can with 2000T.
And unlike the 2000T if record using padding / timer record the information on the recordings is always wrong and you cant change it.
With the 2000T the information is being updated all the time during the recording.
Example You want to record a film say GHOST BUSTERS so to make sure you have got it all, you add extra time ether way.
When its finished it may say news and weather if it was the programme before it not the film, so all you need to do is wind it forward to the start of the film press information and the right info and film is displayed until you press stop then it will revert back.
But this don’t happen with the 4000T your stuck with wrong information all the way through.
But with 2000T you can even change the recording name if want to keep the recording that is.
But I fear the days of the PVR is numbered as more TV have USB recording capability now, like my new Sony and it works quite well, good picture and sound.
I have a couple of TVs (Samsung and LG) with USB recording, and the facilities thereon are absolutely dire when compared with a ‘proper’ PVR.

I don’t like the HDR2000T because the bean counters at Humax penny pinched the spec from the drawing board to production – end of. I have no interest in padding, never have and never will have, I’m quite happy to rely on AR.
I have the HDR1000S and this has padding, but for me it’s a far better machine than my 2000T. For my money I much prefer the YouView PVR. I own one of these and whilst it may have no padding or DLNA capabilities it is a much better machine to use than the 2000T.
