Evening All,
Is it possible to stop the ‘please rescan’ banner appearing at power-on? I don’t need to keep up with every tiny channel change and, more importantly, it’s a pita to re-enter all the recording schedules when one of the kids unwittingly hits ‘ok’.
I have had a look within the menus but I can’t find the setting I need…
Any assistance much appreciated

There is no such setting. The only work around is to install the user community enhanced firmware which (amongst other things) allows the recording schedule to be backed up before the scan and restored afterwards.
Good Lord! That is a show stopper for me ever getting one of those then.
Never seen the rescan banner on the HDR T2 with channel changes….are you going thru digital switch over? – If not can you state your transmitter, and I’ll ask Humax Towers if they are aware of anything untoward.
We’re on the Sudbury transmitter – and we went thru digital switch over back in the summer.
I was under the impression (but very happy to be wrong) that the ‘smarter’ tuners in the house (specifically the HDR FOX T2 and the Panasonic Viera TV) have been wanting to rescan based on relatively obscure changes – say the addition of another shopping channel, or even changes to the radio station line-up; stuff that we won’t care about on a day-to-day basis.
Meanwhile the ‘dumb’ tuners don’t know or care, so they don’t prompt us to rescan – we have to notice that something’s missing or moved.
The Panasonic TV has the menu option to disable the rescan prompt. I’d hoped the HDR would have a similar option.
Anyway, would appreciate any light you can cast on this issue Barry – many thanks.

The Panasonic TV has the menu option to disable the rescan prompt. I’d hoped the HDR would have a similar option.
The only way I know to help with this problem is to install the user community enhanced software for the HDR which will allow you to back up the schedule before the rescan and restores it after the rescan. There are people investigating how to turn it off but nothing useful so far.
Quick update: Thanks for all your thoughts on this, but the rescan prompt has gone away now. I don’t know if the prompt has a pre-set ‘nag duration’ – which gives up after a while – or whether we were being prompted because of the switch-over of a neighbouring transmitter (Tacolneston).
All good for now then – and thanks again.
