I have been one of the many people afflicted with the infamous Humax padding problem, but last night my unit suffered a different problem.
At about 8pm I tried to power on the Humax, but it was unresponsive. I tried with both the remote control and the power button in the centre of the ring on the front panel - neither successfully woke the unit up (the circular led on the front was orange). I was reluctant to cycle the power to the system as it was supposed to be about half way through recording MKR, so I just left it.
This morning I cycled the power and checked the recorded media - it appears to have frozen about 18 minutes into MKR (there was an 18 minute MKR media file on the disk).
Needless to say, wifey was less than impressed - last night was her Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives night... She's now making noises about sending the thing back... I sure hope Humax fix these problems soon or that may be what I'll have to end up doing.

Anyone else seen this behaviour?
