Mine is the same with random reboots,
Some times with a dim blue light then all is fine
The wifi is still dropping too as in my above post
Lets hope the new software fixes these problems,
Ps: when the 4000T works properly it’s great,
Mine rebooted this morning as I was watching BBC 1 HD. This was the first time for about ten days,but have had numerous over the last couple of months. I’m just hoping that the software update due shortly sorts this problem as I really want to keep this box. If not surely Humax should offer a full cash refund.
I’m grateful to those of you who have posted the above comments. You may have well have saved me the cost of a ‘FVP4000T Playbox’ which I was considering buying at the same time as a ‘Humax H3 espresso.’
Anyone who is suffering from reboots and is not a member of our Beta group and would like to partake.
PM me for details, and access to our hidden area.
Good news about the upcoming update from Humax.
My own experience is that since turning off the network server a week ago, the box has worked without issue.
Since we returned from holiday 2 weeks ago my Humax did not perform a single random reboot ….. until yesterday evening whilst watching a recorded programme.
And it’s just done it again.
I’ve changed all the settings to the recommended ones.
The reboot only seems to happen when we are watching a previously recorded programme. I’m not aware of it happening when it’s actually recording something or when we are just watching live TV through it.
I haven’t done a factory reset as I don’t want to loose the current schedule as the Mrs has so many programs set so I’ll wait for the next update. If that deletes the current schedule then I’ll have to live with it, of course.

Its not worth resetting the receiver because it makes no difference. I have done this a few times. Last week, while recording, the picture froze and the receiver rebooted. Yesterday the receiver just went off while recording and rebooted. I got a message saying that there was power failure. I have had suspicions of a faulty WiFi board, but can’t prove it. Sometimes when I’ve had sudden reboots I’ve found that the WiFi doesn’t work. I have to turn off the power to the receiver to get the WiFi module to work again. A faulty WiFi module could be shorting out the power supply causing a reboot.

The network server has never been switched on on mine,and I have suffered numerous lockups.

Humax stock answer is to reset the receiver whatever the problem reported to them. Never cured the lockups on my box.
Mine also does this since the last software update it feels as though we are going backwards, is it really fit for purpose?
Also it feel as though since this update the systems response time has slowed down e.g. opening recording list or an individual recording?
Come on Humax this just isn’t good enough.
AND again!! twice in one hour, both times just watching BBC1 HD, nothing being recorded or played back. Everything in the settings switched OFF. Really hope the upcoming update works ‘cos I’m sick of this. Love the box, hate the software.
If they can’t fix it after all this time, then maybe
There might be a fault with the hardware.
Hi,
I’m new on here just found you while trying to sort out the same fault with my box.
I got mine last christmas from john lewis and it has starting rebooting itself the last few weeks.Mine seems to run hot also,is this normal?
Mine’s behaved itself for the past week, until last night. I switched it off at 10.55pm. It started recording 2 programmes at 11pm. At 11.05pm it rebooted & ceased recording.
I wouldn’t mind so much if it was smart enough to resume recording after rebooting, a couple of minutes of lost recording is better than losing nearly all of the programmes. Running out of patience with the FVP4000T …
Mine rebooted again at about 21:05 last night. I have all the network stuff switched off to try and stop this.
It’s definitely not a hardware fault or caused by overheating as I’ve had mine for a year and the only times it has ever spontaneously rebooted is during the last 6 weeks or so with this current firmware.
