Yep, this is the ‘New Normal’ for all kinds of electronic devices, and has been for about the last 40 years or more. But obviously it has ‘passed you by’ 😆
Well this time the power cycle did more than box reboot. It applied an unannounced firmware update (June 2020).

A firmware update to the box or a software update to the particular catch up apps you are using?

It looks to me as though my FVP has a pending update to the software for the box itself but because I have a lot of recordings set tonight I can’t let it install yet.
Any news Martin?
My 4000t finds nothing even after a default reset.
My 5000 finds nothing either.

Sorry false alarm; mine didn’t find anything this morning after a search for an update and again after power cycling. It is possible that it is a phased roll out of a new version to avoid the Humax servers being overloaded so worth continuing to check. Also My5 is still not responding after the power cycle.
Edit: There is also a report from a user over on hummy.tv of the new software version so I am hoping it is only a matter of time before we all get it.

Could you tell us what the version number of the new software is please?
I am told by a user over on hummy.tv that the new software is Software Version UKTFAE 1.03.52. Not available for download from the Humax web site yet.

Yes that was me. I read somewhere that some humax boxes (sat boxes maybe) had recoved from player woes. I believed that to be a software update. I have not seen such an update announced on my box, but I did a power cycle anyway and it sneaked in. I found players worked again. When I went to System Information I saw that I had Software Version UKTFAE 1.03.52 dated 12 JUN 2020.
So no more jokes about “try switching it off then on again”. Just do it. Switch box power off, count to 10, switch power on and see if you get the bonus prize like I did. It is so good to have fully working Humax box again after so many months faulty.

For me things have improved quite a lot recently. ITV Hub now works OK although slower than iPlayer and All Four is now working but slower again than ITV Hub. In both cases the players were very, very slow to load the first time; I wonder if they are doing a silent software update when the player is first used after a software update for that player becomes available.
@Martin Liddle,
I have tracked down it was your post above that actually inpired me to do a power cycle, as you mentioned improvements to players. So had assumed you had received a software update or Humax had fixed something their end.
Maybe true that Humax are rolling the box software update out in stages. Keep checking.
I have somehow managed to get an unannounced software update on my 5000T. For me that seems to fix catch-up player problems, including My5.

I tried that rocksteady but did not work for me I’m afraid, still on 1.03.51
I have given up on Humax and plugged my old firestick back in to get My5.

There could be a 6000T in the wings that will solve all our issues and a rollback of an updated software bundle like they did for the 4000T a few months after the 5000T was released.
Historically Humax seem to make the any new box worse than its predecessor.
