InactiveI have the Humax 1100s and wondered if there was a way of stopping the tv guide from coming on as soon as you turn the Humax box on.

I’m afraid not, but a quick press of the exit key will dismiss the home page.

ParticipantIf you have a logitech harmony remote and you programme a exit at the end of any activity that uses the freetime box it gets rid for you.

Not sure what Graham means here but my experience is that the box is not responsive to R/C commands until the mini-guide is fully populated with channel info. So if you’re simply programming an exit after power-on from s/by then it will not work.

InactiveSo there is no work around for this then? I was trying to program an exit after the power on, I even programed a channel change and that didn’t work either.

In the device setup options extend the time the box takes to respond to the boot command. On mine it sometimes takes a few seconds to remove the home screen on other occasions it disappears almost immediately before the epg populates.

Mine often disappears before the home screen epg is populated. Seems to depend on how long the boot takes.
On the odd time the exit is ignored. It works most times though.

ParticipantCold boot this morning. Home screen appeared for less than one second, no epg population and then disappeared. So box must respond to exit before programme info populated. HDR1000S power on delay set to 40 seconds. My Panasonic TV delay set to 5 seconds. Watch HDR1000S activity shown in attached image.

Now – If only Freesat would sort out the ridiculous ordering of episodes in a series folder

All it would take is a simple time date recorded sort, they could then simply ignore the inconsistant broadcaster episode number info.
Do they ever record more than a single episode ?
