I did the factory reset and left it overnight. I haven’t restored any of my timed recordings yet either. This morning I turned the TV and PVR off as usual, pouted the remotes away and five minutes later the disc powered up for 2 minutes. It’s just done it again, 25 minutes later. No lights on.

As reppasac says. Do you have remote scheduling setup. If so the box will do that to check you haven’t made a change to the schedule. Did you find the infra red receiver. Once covered up check the remote has no control.
Incidentally a mobile phone camera can see infra red as a flash of light. Have a good look round for a source. Get someone to push a button on a remote while using the camera to see what happens.
I covered up the IR as suggested and the hard drive still spins up randomly. No recording schedule, no phones in the room, no lights, no other devices whatsoever! As I said, the PVR is 2 solid oak shelves below the TV.

Running out ideas. However the fact that the the box is two solid shelves below the the TV means nothing. Infra red bounces off light surfaces.
Looking more and more like a strong RF source. How close is the WiFi router?
If close. Get a say a 2M patch lead. Move the router 2M away. Connect it to a seperate socket using an extension cable if you need one.
Have you ever paired the app to your unit?
Your response to Graham “No recording schedule” leaves some doubt.
Morning guys. We have a new BT Smarthub2, 2 stone walls and about 6m away. There is a Wi-fi disc just outside the door but the powering up pre-dates all this.
I did download the Freesat app to my phone a few weeks ago but I never used it and so I deleted it.
I’m going to try turning off the TV at the socket but other than that it looks like I’m just going to have to live with it! Curiously, there is an identical unit (though not with Freetime written on it, just Freesat) and this one doesn’t appear to do it, in spite of a nearby Wi-fi disc and multiple devices.
Many thanks for all you time and suggestions, I do appreciate your efforts.
Did you pair the app before you deleted it? If so it would not matter is you deleted the app. The Humax and Freesat would still think it is paired.
If paired it would need to be unpaired via settings on the HDR otherwise it will boot approximately every 20 mins.
No, I didn’t pair it, I didn’t actually know you had to! I just thought it was a way of looking at the EPG do I deleted it the next day. I’ve checked the settings on the Humax and can see he code offered but that’s all.
