InactiveHi, for the second time I’ve switched on my Humax HDR-Fox T2 and got the message “no channels found press ok to tune”. Anyone got a fix for this please. Thanks in advance

ModeratorIf this has happened twice in the Month, then almost cetainly to do with the retune events. The T2 will automatically retune if you do not cancel the pop up when bringing out of standby.

I didn’t get a pop up Barry, just the message no channels found. Last time it happened was back in July

InactiveThis has happened to me the last twice a retune was required.
Annoyingly I still have a pop up appearing despite carrying out a retune.

The retune did get all the channels back though.

The only annoying thing is it loses all the schedules too so I miss progs I wanted to record

InactiveAfraid that alway happens after carrying out a retune.

I’m not sure why this is happening now as never used to happen with a retune.
Hopefully your programmes will be repeated?

I could use some of those catch up things on the computer but it seems like too much hassle lol

InactiveWell I lost the live episode of Emmerdale due to it automatically carrying out a retune even though I had done it earlier!
I did go on to the computer (it is a hassle!) to see whether I could catch up with it on STV Player to find it wasn’t working and in the process I found out who was killed!!!
Not a happy bunny tonight.

InactiveI went away for a couple of days leaving mi HDR Fox T2 in standby, loaded up with a list of programmes to record. When I got home, and came to view the recorded programmes, I was greeted with the message “no channels found press ok to tune?” With no choice I pressed OK.
I have had this twice now since the September channel change. It is really annoying that the recording shedule is lost when you retune.
In addition after I retuned the HD services which use to be on 50, 51, 52, and 53 now appear on 101, 102, 103 and 104
Anyone have any thoughts . . .

InactiveThere was a Freeview retune event on Wednesday, this changed the numbers of the HD channels. Your box will have carried out an auto-retune, causing your scheduled timers to be cleared.

InactiveThe problem is that following Wednesday’s re-tune (which I assume was planned work), it left me with a useless device which was emptied of both it’s service list and recording schedule. With this incident and previous recent problems, I am begining to lack confidence in the device.

InactiveHumax have designed the box to this, however is has got worse with newer firmware releases because from 1.02.27 onwards the box will automatically re-tune after the ‘Now / Later’ message is displayed if you don’t select LATER within 3Mins. All recording schedules and Favourite lists will be cleared. So an un-attended unit (when switch out of standby) will auto-retune, the ony way of stopping this happening is to install 1.02.20 or install Custom Firmware

InactiveYou can use the modified firmware to stop auto re-tune events and even software OTA upgrades. Also with this firmware you can backup and restore your scheduled records. I have started using it and there are many other benifits too.

That’s exactly what I get. Just checked my channels for 50,51 etc. They are now on, 1020, 1021 and 1022 all so annoying
