InactiveIs this the most useless POS device ever made?
Had mine for a month after years of using an 1100s at my old place. That was night and day better than this piece of turd.
For a start it’s so bloody slow. I could just about put up with that, but now it keeps missing my programs. It’s missed every recording set for 2 weeks now – even though it shows in the guide that it will be recorded.
I’m getting so angry I need it gone for my own mental health. What are my chances of a refund 7 weeks down the line? Not fit for purpose in my opinion.
Do Humax still make a decent Freeview box. I don’t need 4 channels or anything. I just want it to record the odd series. I barely watch TV to be honest

I agree that the FVP is slow but in my experience it does a reasonable (but not perfect) job of recording things. Are you confident that the box is tuned to a single transmitter?

That in itself is odd because all of the radio stations start at 700.

True but you have to look for them separately.

InactiveIt probably depends on which EPG section you have selected.
