My Humax HDR 1000S will not pause or record. I replaced the hard drive and set to factory default but it still does not pause or record. Is there another component that could be defective?

Sounds like a well know problem that has been reported many times for the HDR-1000S which is reportedly due to a component on the mother board going out of spec. As nobody here has identified the component the only options are to scrap the box or send it off to a company called Digirepairs in Northern Ireland. See https://www.digirepairs.co.uk/product/repair-booking-humax-freesat-plus-freeview-plus-youview-plus-box-repairs-2/ be aware that there was a recent report that a box they had repaired did work for a year but the fault reappeared shortly afterwards.
