OK then, so maybe if I could ask you this please. I accept it isn’t Humax and as such, you might not know.
During all the time we had the Panasonic TV (9 yrs I think), if it did do updates or searched for new channels, I didn’t know about it. I recall manually searching every few years.
But this Samsung TV, works differently. It searches dare I say it every 8 weeks? and we know about it because we find the notice saying “searching for new channels and updates” and it sticks on that.
I do know that several ‘freesat devices’ do not follow freesat rules which do include automatic channel updates. Does your TV state that it is a “freesat TV”?
Every 8 weeks would loose channels frequently.
Freesat monitor 2nd generation devices much more closely then G1.
If you have the latest firmware, it’s possible some corruption has crept in the firmware stored in Non Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM).
Try making a note of or photograph your recording schedule (you will need to re-enter it) and carry out a reset to factory defaults.
Not been posting, but have been monitoring. The result is this. It is my impression that series will record indefinitely. The fact that the menu showing eight days of programmes, only highlights seven, is something we have to accept. Each day we look at guide and each day, it has moved on one.
Now to the interesting bit. Last night we switched on, to discover the pain in the backside, the notice announcing it was searching for new channels and updates.
We left it for 30 mins, nothing happened. Turned tv and power off, waited, on again and notice still there.
Decided to repeat but turn Humax power off too. Waited 15 seconds, turned everything on, notice gone also.
Looked at guide, no programmes had lost their highlighted state meaning they were still set to record.

A series record will record until the last recording is more than 13 weeks old, it will then be deleted.

Oh,interesting that, how do you know?. Not that we will ever be away that long. We did go for a month over Christmas and it failed to record anything after 29th Dec. I was told it was due to Samsung (our tv) doing an update, but have no proof.

Because that’s the agreed time that has to elapse before the broadcaster can recycle the CRID codes for a different series.
Basically the largest gap that can be accommodated in a series recording is 12 weeks.
Well well well, you live and learn. Oddly enough Graham, I was aimlessly browsing and spotted several threads all in the same veign, ref Humax stopping recording so in a way, whilst it’s a pain, glad it’s not just ours.
