I have just joined the forum because of problems I have just started experiencing with my Humax 9150T. This week for some unknown reason the automatic recording schedule entries have all disappeared. Have re-entered all entries 3 x times now.
Within 1-2 days the schedule is totally blank again!!!
Have any other users experienced this problem?
This unit is 5 years old now and the last software update shows as 2011. There doesn’t appear to be any later software update for this unit.
I am having the exact same problem, its just started last week, I contacted Humax and was told to do a reset, which will wipe out all my preplanned recording schedules, just what I DO NOT need! I have even tried unplugging at night, but as soon as I power up again, the schedules are wiped! so very annoying, can anyone help?
What a coincidence Minty17 to have exactly the same issue and ours only started at the beginning of this week too!!
We haven’t done anything different at all because as you know once the unit is set up, that’s it!
I made a couple of changes yesterday to see if it helped but again all gone this morning. So today, I did a “Default to Factory Settings” which meant creating the recording schedule(s) again. Incidentally, some of them to test, not all at this stage.
Will update this post tomorrow with results
Well today the Recording schedule is still intact!
This was intact for 2 days last week so just going to monitor.
The other things that I did do in last 2 days was to:
Disable Automatic Software Update – as none appear to be happening. Also, Power Standby is set to On. Cant remember how this was set before but these are the only changes made since schedule removal issue started.
Perhaps the “Default Reset” was all that was needed. Bit like the old CTRL-ALT-DEL
Well the saga continues and today……….. the recording schedule is blank again!!!
We know when it has failed because the timer light on the front display is not lit
The other curious thing linked to this is that we control the volume from the TV leaving the Humax on full volume. Well the volume bars on the Humax have also decreased about half way and we have to turn this up to full volume. This was never a problem before. Something very odd has happened during the last 2 weeks that we cant explain. I have taken some screen shots of settings today as it’s getting confusing over what I am changing each time. Something seems to be resetting itself that’s for sure!!!
Can anyone else add to this mystery?

The default setting for the volume is half way. In addition to the actions to do after a default setting you will also need to add ‘adjust the volume’.
Thanks for your comment Luke but the volume issue was there before I reset to Default. However, the volume issue also only started last week at the same time as the recording schedule kept disappearing. I never mentioned it at the time as I didn’t want to add too much to the recording schedule loss issue which is much more disturbing than the volume issue.
My friend has a 9300 and is not suffering the problem you are seeing. What you are seeing suggests your machine is doing a Default Setting all on its own but I have no idea why. What about the screen ratio Menu > Preferences > A/V Control > Screen Ratio, is that reverting to its default of 4:3? Also the software Regular Auto Update, is that being enabled (the default) after you have disabled it? As Luke says, the default for volume is 50%.

With a default setting it also wipes out the tuning.
There have been a lot of threads on ‘overnight’ semi resets occuring with varying frequency. The first reports were all for the 9300T but this year was the first I remember seeing for the for the 9150T. The last new thread I saw was only last month but I can’t remember where.
Some 9300T examples which a quickly grabbed. Hopefully not too quick and they are the same issue, but there are loads to choose from if you can find them.

Edit: A couple of 9150T threads with similar sounding issues:
Thanks guys for your comments and advice.
Earlier this evening I turned the unit off for 10 mins and then put back on. Recording schedule and volume all present and correct.
I’ll update here tomorrow when I check the unit in the morning.

And replaces it with new tuning that in the short term will probably be exactly the same as that that has been wiped. Unless the OP had made drastic changes to the channel line up he probably wouldn’t notice if a retune had taken place.

When this happened to me when I had a 9300T I thought the manual tuning was still in place.
Possible if someone who is currently having this occur regularly could delete some channels they don’t want and check next time it resets whether or not they have returned that would help establish confidence in what is being reset.
Well guys, checked this morning and everything is intact. All ok.
This did work the following day last week so I’m not holding my breath as yet. If it is still working ok for next 2-3 days then I might feel more confident.
Watch this space.
There are reports of failing power supply capacitors with these models. I normally take these reports with a pinch of salt as they often involve people trying to sell a repair. I accept though that it is possible and a disruptive power supply could cause all sorts of unexplained happenings. If anyone with the problem is willing to take the lid off their machine it might be worth checking. The power supply will be the board with the mains lead going into it, there will be hefty looking components on the board compared to the main board. The suspect capacitors are fairly large, cylindrical, probably mounted vertically and have a plastic sheath usually black/brown/blue. The tops of these capacitors should be flat, any sign of bulging indicates failure.
NOTE: This must be done with the machine physically disconnected from the mains.

Just reading a post on Digital Spy where the OP states that his machine starts up on channel 1 after the problem has occured regardless of what channel he was last watching, this suggests a retune is being performed.
