Hi,

Our Foxsat HDR in a regular basis fails to record a program this has been going on for years but has more so in recent months. I have checked all I can, re-tuned ect but all I’ve done makes no difference. We live in the Medway area of kent. I have had Humax recorders for at least ten years and this problem has always been there. Is there any solution out there?

You aren’t giving us much to go on; please can you give some examples of failed recordings (channel, programme name, date and time, whether it was a one off recording or a series recording)?

Sorry we are getting nowhere with this, I follow your instructions as directed and All that happens is the freesat tune box opens and there is the postcode selection box ect and nothing else.

You must be pressing OK with Freesat Tune selected.

It's the row of coloured buttons above media and guide as shown in uploaded files push them in the numbered order shown.

Sorry my friend but I am doing all you advise the only difference with this reply is that shown in diagram the 4 coloured buttons are now shown with 567 as well so I assume after the 1-4 sequence 567 follows green, yellow, blue.

I have tried all but cannot access this hidden menu you speak about.

Do not look at the Because it will show a X indicating invalid push

Press 1 Red

Press 2 Green

Press 3 Yellow

Press 4 Blue

Press 5 Green again

Press 6 Yellow again

Press 7 Blue again

I've done all this as I said before.still nothing

Works every time for me.

Really need to check you have two working tuners.

If you can't get this to work I will have to devise a multiple manual recording test.
