Humax Freeview playback Digital TV Recorder PVR-9150T 160GB Twin Tuner PVR

Product Information

If you use the Freeview+ 8-day option on the TUTV PVRs then this is the same as that used by the Humax so will have the same characteristics. However, the TUTV PVRs do take much longer to populate the EPG than they should, up to 7 hours or more in my experience.`But then that is just one of many issues with the TUTV software. As you say if you use the 14-day EPG option on the TUTV PVRs then this should not apply, you either get all or nothing. The hard drive is a relatively modest 160GB, equating to around 100 hours of standard-def TV. Go easy on the season linking because this PVR will fill up fast.

There are three varieties of what people call the skipping problem. Doing a "Humax" format will help with one of them.Save You can save the selected recording part as a different file. Select the starting point using the t/u button and press the RECORD button. Select the ending point using the t/u button and press the RECORD button. Select Save and press the OK button to save the selected part. Select Reset and press the OK button to reset the edit. Warning: This function will overwrite the original recording. The obvious one is movement of the aerial in the wind if it is on the roof. If it is in a loft then have you moved stuff around in the loft or put more stuff up there?

Now my 9150T is working like a goodun can I just remove the 160gig hard drive and replace it with a 500gig sarta drive and just format it, at the moment the hard drive is empty it would be a great time to make it better Does anyone have any similar experiences or thoughts on this before I start taking it apart looking for batteries? I live in N.Wales which is undergoing transmission problems, but this has been occuring for days now.Resolving these issues has been a priority for our technical team who have been working diligently on a fix, but unfortunately, due to the complex nature of the issues, it has taken much longer than we had hoped to develop new software to sort out the PVR issues. BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER UNPLUG EACH AND EVERY CABLE FROM THE HUMAX AND WAIT A MINIUTE OR SO BEFORE REMOVAL. Thanks for replying. I found a thread on DS about the 9300 which has the same problem but there was an interesting post which claimed that it was noted that the cooling fan was not operating and after replacing the fan it fixed the problem:

The twin tuners mean that you can record different programmes at the same time and overlapping programmes don’t present a problem – it just works. A popular boast of Sky users, you can also opt to series programmes as well as record broken programmes, i.e., those that have the news in the middle. Icons identify programmes on which these, and other, options are available and when setting a recording you are given the choice to series link if you can.

Both boxes frequently crash even when not in use, resulting in programmes not being recorded, as i am unaware this has happened. If I had a suitable older slower 500GB drive in my pc then I'd be upgrading the pc, making it a fair bit faster and using the pc drive for the pvr, just a thought for the more technically minded.
