While it was not working I could not pause TV suggesting the box could not access the disk.
Thanks for explaining; I agree there must be an issue with accessing the hard drive. There has been recent discussion concerning several different Humax models having problems accessing the hard drive and one suggestion is that contamination on the SATA connectors is to blame. Next time this happens you might want to open the box and have a careful look at both ends of the SATA cable.
Hi I have the 3000t pvr
I have had to change my EP guide to basic due to the IE EPG no longer working. Wish I had read earlier it no longer exists as I paid $120 for someone to try and fix to no avail.
Anyway I now use the basic and I’m finding that my tv series I record doesn’t record all the episodes. An example I last night there was a 4 part series back to back but only 2 episodes recorded. I have it set in to record 10 minutes prior and 20 minutes after ( padding) show ends so I get all the show in. This also happened on another series I recorded.
Any help would be appreciated. I am based in Australia.
Quote:What fixed it was deleting some recordings to free us space on the disk.My diagnosis was wrong because I now keep getting No Recordings when I bring the Humax out of standby – creating more space on the disk did not fix it.
I will take the disk out and look at the connections.
To be continued …
… and the continuation says …
I took out the SATA disk and checked the contacts – all seemed fine. I plugged and unplugged it several times just to be sure the contacts was clean. When I powered on the box I still got No recordings.
I then set it back to the Factory settings and the recordings were there.
As an aside – attempting to record a programme from the EPG when I had the NO recordings error did not bring back the recordings. The programme was not recorded.
Also, at one point I had the yellow pie-chart showing how much disk was in use but it was still saying No recordings, which was somewhat contradictory. How did it know how much disk was used unless it could see the recordings?
An update. I deleted loads of recordings and the problem has completely disappeared.

An update. I deleted loads of recordings and the problem has completely disappeared.
I’m pretty sure it is a problem when the disk fills up. It started when the disk got to about 50 hours of HD recording space left and gradually got worse as the space reduced.
It’s a 4000T.
My disk has finally failed completely.
The sequence, over a few months, was that I got the No Recordings message but waiting a short while brought them back. The waiting period grew longer and longer. The Test Disk ran overnight without completing.
Deleting recorded programmes down from 90% utilised to 60% utilised seemed to fix it but, after a few weeks the No Recordings message came back.
It then failed completely. I couldn’t see any recordings from my PC. Test Disk ran for hours without completing.
In desperation, I tried to Format the disk but format did not work.
I took out the 2TB disk and plugged it into my Windows 10 PC and the PC did not recognise it at all. I could not format the disk on the PC.
I had an old 500GB Seagate Pipeline disk lying around (as one does) and put it in the FVP-4000T. It did not recognise any of the recordings I think were on the disk. I formatted the disk and all was now OK.
So, the No Recordings message is a sign that the disk is failing.
