Good to know my post about new batteries for the remote control was read and acted on.
Since I changed my batteries in the remote control I realise that the problems I have been having with the 5000 from New where mostly caused by the poor quality batteries supplied by Humax with the set.Just because the light comes on when pressing a button on the remote do not assume your batteries are OK.
My 5000 is now a really good bit of kit,slightly more difficult to set programme times than my old foxT2 box which had had its day.
I am now a happy Humax man again.
