About this deal

In that case I would suspect your aerial installation. It is possible some aspect of it has become damaged or faulty in some way. Superdrug adds new 'VIP Rewards' offers to its existing loyalty scheme – here's what you need to know OK, my Humax is still hopping and skipping so I thought I'd try a full format. I'm thinking of this adapter, is it OK? The PVR-9510T has two standard-definition Freeview tuners, allowing two different channels to be recorded simultaneously. Recordings are made via the electronic programme guide or directly from a live transmission. You can adjust the start and stop times, and record either single programmes or an entire series. The PVR's user interface has all the graphical charm of an NES platformer, which we quite like, in a retro way. The machine is pretty user-friendly so evenconfirmed technophobes will feel quite at home with its operating logic, after learning its foibles. Features

I wasn't aware that old humax's use ext3 - my 9200 certainly doesn't. But it doesn't matter - the box itself should offer the option to format the disk. 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. Thanks for the information. It was that one you linked to that I was looking at. Ideally I didn't want to spend too much, as the Humax is quite old anyway, but we prefer to it catch up TV.Also, do I simply remove, reformat and replace the drive, power up, reset to factory settings and go from there or do I somehow need to restore some software? E.g. where is the Loader stored? If on the disk, how do I restore it? Tesco Mobile is to start charging new and recently joining pay-monthly customers to use their mobiles in Europe from 2024.

The main frustrations for me are the incredibly slow EPG. It takes ages to populate. I had a TVonics PVR previously and that cached the EPG while turned off which the 9150 doesn't. Therefore the EPG on the TVonics was there straight away. Even my TV manages to remember the EPG when I turn it off and has it instantly visible when I need it. I did open up the 9150 to see and couldn't find a battery. I suspect scheduling is all in non volatile ram as mentioned above, which makes fixing this pretty much a no go. There are three varieties of what people call the skipping problem. Doing a "Humax" format will help with one of them. Luis: Thanks for the info about moving threads it is a pity they don’t put a flag to indicate its been moved. Installation is straightforward, but channels are slow to populate. Beneath the bonnet reside two standard-definition Freeview tuners, which enable two channels to be recorded simultaneously. You can schedule each from the programme guide in the time-honoured fashion, padding either the start and stop times to ensure you don't miss a beat. There's also an option to record single shows or entire series.If you're a regular Superdrug shopper, you can now earn more freebies and discounts under its Health & Beautycard loyalty scheme, as the retailer has launched new 'VIP Rewards' as part of it. What region are you in? If it's a post-DSO region such as Granada, then the specially arranged update (alternating with the 9300 update) is being broadcast on MuxB, which post-DSO regions no longer carry. If this is your situation you will have to wait until the update is able to be scheduled with DTG on their engineering channel on Mux1, which is carried in all regions. This might be some time, as it looks like there are no slots left for December. We will not accept to exchange or fix a product if the damage was caused directly or indirectly by you.

The other irritation is the layout of the remote. It has a sliding flap covering several minor controls. Amongst which is the one to call up the recorded programme list. Of course you are rarely going to need that and would much prefer the five button press method involved using the fully visible controls!

The installation process isquite straightforward but ratherslow. The PVR searches out available stations before allowing you to delete those that hold no interest -- and you'll probably find there's quite a few of those on Freeview. I've just seen a related thread where this was said (by someone who bought a new hard drive and installed it, as is, in the pvr): Auto-tuning works well and had no problem finding all the available channels and radio stations. The 8-day programme guide is core to the functioning of the PVR and is populated with information being broadcast, although it seems to go through this process each time it starts, so you don’t have instant access to the full EPG, which can be a pain and slow you down if you want to set-up a recording as you fly out of the door. 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:

I'm suspecting an internal battery may have gone as this seems to fit the behaviour, but I'm surprised upcoming programs would be stored in memory and not on the drive?

What a full format will do (that may be helpful) is to map out any marginal sectors; this is done by the disk controller firmware and so is a level below the file system and hence will persist when reformatted. One key aspect of any PVR is its operational noise. The good news is that this standard-def diva doesn't raise the roof. There's an onboard fan but it's whisper-quiet. I have the 9150T with original 160GB hard drive. Owned the device for a number of years now and it still suits my needs, however I am starting to run out of disk space and am interested in replacing the hard drive with a larger one.
