This is the same question that I am asking three years later because the answer that came back doesn’t work. I have tried everything and I can only watch the episode that the bloody machine decides I should watch. This question only applies to multiple episodes which are recorded on the same day.

I rather think that these tech blokes haven’t a clue about actual users and they certainly don’t bother with product testing. It’s a sad state of affairs that I have had this box (my fourth in eight years) three days and already I have to come here and Humax is considered the best of its kind – ha! Help please, turning grey trying to figure this out.

I’m not sure what the problem is as the answer on how to watch a series in order is in the thread.

You select the programme, press left < to the episode list then use the CH rocker switch to scroll to the top of the list (or up on the wheel to the episode you want) then OK to select, right > out of the list and OK to play recording. If you are watching in one sitting the series will then play one after the other in the order they were broadcast if you either wait until the end of each episode, or FF/Skip to the end on the commercial channels to skip the ads.

Alternatively you can use the search function to find the programme you want and see the episodes recorded listed in chronological order under the Recording Tab. You need to type in the programme’s name or key words only once, it will then remain in your search list to scroll to the next time you press the search key.

I quite agree that this is a ludicrous “feature”. I almost never want to watch things in anything other than the order they were broadcast.

I know you can scroll to the top to view the earliest episode, but for heavens sake why should that be necessary? It should default to highlighting the oldest episode, not the newest.

Probably nothing to do with Humax. Like Freesat, Humax and the Digital TV Consortium (DTVC) that own Freeview have contracted the software out to a 3rd party. It would cost money to now have the s/w changed. DTVC probably don’t care and Humax are in terminal decline.
