My 2000T has worked pretty reliably for the last 3 years.
However, earlier this week, I went to play a recorded programme and nothing happened for about 30 seconds and then it suddenly started playing normally.
This evening, it wouldn’t switch on from standby. So I disconnected the power and rebooted it. It came on for about 15 seconds, displaying the Humax splash screen on the TV, and then reverted to standby mode. I simply couldn’t get it to switch on at all (using both remote and front buttons). However, about 2-3 minutes later, the red light on the front changed to blue (all by itself) and, lo and behold, it was on and working again as normal.
Has anyone experienced the same or similar problem. Can anyone suggest any cause of this strange behaviour and, more importantly, any remedies please?
Many thanks.
Looks as if I’m on my own with this freezing problem.
However, can anyone please tell me, if I try restoring factory defaults (without selecting the format disk option), will I lose all my recording programmes (or just settings)?
Thanks Barry. Don’t suppose you have any other suggestions for what could be causing this problem or potential solutions?

I don’t know this model but on other Humax models, disconnecting the power will cause the next boot to boot, set the clock and then power down to avoid missed recordings.
A power down, depending on mode, can take a few minutes while settings are saved to NVR / Disk.
Hi
They do have a tendency to glitch and freeze functions every now and again like its overwhelmed with what you are asking it to do
All I can suggest is that you go through the cycle of powering off and rebooting it up.
Then you just keep your fingers crossed and be glad its working. If anyone has the two year guarantee than you can rely on that for a bit.
When it works it records and plays well. I had to diy lower a noise issue but I certainly dont feel I have a long lasting product and I think its the first thing on my tv shelf that will pack up before time. It wouldnt surprise me if it just failed to power on one day. Its been built to a price and something just isnt quite right in there
