This is the nearest thread I can find to the problem I have. Since buying my 1000s 5 months ago i have been using an old Humax remote control (RM-F04) as are many other users in order to allow control of my TV from the same remote. This morning the PVR stopped responding to the remote so I dug out the original unused remote. I have the same problem with this too. The only buttons that work are:- Power, Mute, Vol+, Vol-, Text and the four coloured buttons. I can only change channels using the buttons on the front of the PVR. This must be a problem within the PVR as both remotes including the new unused one do not work. I have tried pressing 2580 to reset the cache but no response to this either.

NO RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION AFTER 10 WEEKS?

What a great help this forum is.

Pathetic!

You posted in a year old thread in the wrong section of the forum and are the surprised about the lack of response?

Thanks Martin and Biggles.

With an attitude like that you won’t get much sympathy, however in an effort to help have you could try the default file which will reset your unit to factory condition:

Bottom file on this page – http://beta.humaxonline.co.uk/freesat-hd

I posted in the most relevant place I thought and if not, a friendly pointer in the right direction might have been useful.

Is there a more relevant thread I should have used? If so please point me there now.

I searched for a problem that was similar to mine and posted my comment in the most relevant.

Can someone explain what possible relevance the fact that it’s an old thread has? surely it comes to the top again and might then get fixed.

My latest comment of complaint certainly wasn’t relevant to the subject but somehow managed to elicit four responses in 24 hours. Kind of reinforces my point don’t you think?

I run my own forum and actively encourage members to post in an existing discussion first, otherwise you end up with hundreds of discussions about the same subject which makes it impossible for anyone to find an answer to their problem.

For anyone to defend ignoring someones problem for ten weeks defies belief.

The only explanation is that there is no known fix so where does that leave me?

The unit is in the loft at the moment so I will try the only sensible reply I’ve had (default) when I get a moment. (Thank you Barry)

I will report the results in the correct thread when someone lets me know which one that is.

Finally I apologise for my blunt comment, it was made in a moment of extreme frustration following the failure of my only backup (a Freesat STB)

This site is divided into a number of sections depending on the platform (e.g. freesat e.g. Freeview) and hardware (e.g. FOXSAT HDR e.g. HD-FOX T2).

Have a look at the homepage http://myhumax.org/forum/

Page down slightly and see the various sections listed under ‘Forums’

Within in that there listed Freesat bulleted section for the HDR 1000/1010S.

I suspect the reason that this method of dividing up this site was not pointed out was that pointing out that you had posted in the wrong place may have been thought to be adequate, rather than any intent to wind you up.

A thread within http://myhumax.org/forum/forum/hdr-1000s, but only if there is an existing match .

Not proliferating multiple threads on the same topics is admirable, but so is recognising when a new topic is being raised and starting a new thread.

I personally use Google site search to search within the various sub-forums of this site.

In this particular example there was a suggestion/question on the old thread, but your new question made no reference to it.

At the top of the home page is a ‘latest’ list. Each item states which hardware the thread is concerned with. When you posted your reply in the HD_FOX T2 section of this forum, this read ‘HD-FOX- T2’. Those not interested or not having experience of the HD-FOX T2 would not have read your new question. Those who did read your question would also have needed to have knowledge of the 1000S, and have something positive to say about your question.

It is only when you added a comment other than the 1000S that you started to open the door to more people who felt they could reply.

Barry in post #7 has suggested a possible fix.

What is your situation with that?
