InactiveActually, it turns out the list of devices with ‘Live Restart’ has grown considerably since I last looked. Humax HDR-1800T/2000T are both on there now, and so is NowTV. I checked the iPlayer on my NowTV box and it does indeed now have Live Restart.

InactiveI have never seen now tv on this player, just the BBC channels on iplayer.
The reason I am relying on watching live streams is because the wind last night did something to my tv ariel (its still on the roof) which is uncertain appart from the fact that no signals are detected by the Humax now. The annoying thing now is after scanning again it won’t let me onto the tv portal to go to iplayer. All it wants to keep doing is scanning for chanels. Why won’t it let me, iplayer comes from the internet connection, not the airiel.

I do remember the thread, and the fact that (as I thought) nothing I owned could get Live Restart. I suppose I didn’t check the NowTV box, probably because it wasn’t connected at the time. Somebody shoot me!

InactiveSo does anyone know why I can’t get onto the tv portal iplayer etc because the Humax is trying to make me re-tune my cannels. I cannot stop i overiding me.

InactiveI have been having this problem since my machine was replaced about a month ago (for a different problem). With the new machine, whenever I use ANY of the internet enabled channels, when I try to change channel the machine reboots to a blank screen and the only way to rectify this is to pull the power cord out (a pain in the ass because of my shelving unit set up). I have tried restoring factory settings a few times and formatting the hdd but it still has the problem.

ModeratorWelcome to our Forum

Do you have the latest software version uploaded to unit – version 1.01.16

InactiveThank you Barry.
Yes I do have the latest software, now 😳 As the unit was only weeks old from Humax and I HAD setup auto updating and checked via the machine several times with nothing showing up, I had assumed I was up to date. Hopefully at least this problem is now sorted.

InactiveI don’t use iPlayer a great deal on my 2000T but when I do it works flawlessly. Have you not got iPlayer and YouTube options on other devices?
I tend to use either the apps on my TV phone or Tablet for these portals as they tend to be easier to use and access. TBH I’m only surprised iPlayer doesn’t come as standard on a tin of beans these days.

InactiveWell this is absolutley becoming a reail pain in the backside. intermittent flipping out of anything out of the tv portal resulting in anything in record mode failing. The machine freezes and the only way of recovering is to power off and on again. So basicly if anything is being recorded it os not worth risking going to iplayer or youtube. Surely the machine was not designed like this ? I have had it just over a year so cannot take back to Currys. Why should it show this fault a year on ? Has anyone got a contact for Humax so I can put this to them ?
* Update: only just noticed the above suggestion by Montyseviltwin so have just tried that and now the Humax fliped off while watching tv in HD. Can the remote battery running down cause this ?

InactiveHi you could try another factory reset as the remote would not cause this problem I would not thought. if this don’t work you can call Humax support on 0344 318 8800 or you can e-mail them at uksupport@humax-digital.co.uk. hope this helps.
