I have posted here as I suspect the fault is at the IceTV server end rather than at my PVR

Is the iceTV munchkin who programs recordings on our Humax 7500T on leave for a week? He has not programmed any shows on our recorder before next Monday. We normally record series such as "The Coroner", "New Blood", "Scott & Bailey" etc. I looked at the scheduled recordings on the web site and he has not set any there either, so the problem does not appear to be at our end.

If he is on leave, I do hope he enjoys himself, as he deserves a good break given he usually does such  an excellent job.

We record The Voice at 7pm and Grand Designs at 7:40pm on a Sunday night. However, our Humax7500T does not accept Grand Designs, advising that "Episode failed to be scheduled".

There are no other shows scheduled for recording on Sunday  according to IceTV and the Humax.

This happens each Sunday. As Professor Julius Sumner Miller queried "Why is this so?"

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I upgraded to a new firmware version yesterday. The changes listed are as follows

HDR-7500T S/W(Oct. 2014 / Latest Software) - Ver. 1.08.25
New Features and Fixed Problems 
• Improved Series Recording capabilities
• Updated ABC iView App

We have since had one incident when replay of a prerecorded show froze. I had to turn the unit off and then on to unfreeze it.

Has anyone loaded the latest firmware version 1.08.22?

The changes are listed as follows:
• Improved W-Lan Stick Compatibility

I find 1.08.21 has been excellent, so I am reluctant to upgrade unless there is some significant benefit.

Firmware version 1.08.07 is available for download.

The Humax release notes advise as follows:

Version 1.08.07 provides following benefits
- Resolved Quickflix problem can not play contents of Quickflix App.
- Resolved IP-OTA Function Error can not update the new S/W automatically.

Has anyone updated?

Post Modified 7 August

We upgraded to 1.08.07 on Saturday 3 August.

We previously suffered from freezing on earlier 1.08 versions. Unfortunately, v1.08.07 does not fix this issue for us. It has frozen three times whilst navigating video folders in the media library. So, I have just downgraded to trusty old v1.07

Hopefully, this issue is limited to only a few users.

Has anyone updated to firmware version 1.08.05?

The release notes on the Humax Australia website list the changes as follows:

Version 1.08.05 provides following benefits
- Enable recorded content decrypt copy to usb
- Resolved Quickflix DRM Error

I wonder if anything else has changed?

After upgrading, our Humax has frozen three times. We were browsing the video menu of hard disk recordings each time. We could not move within or exit from the menu, however audio from the tuner was still playing. I believe it has frozen on a folder, rather than a file, each time

The only way we could unfreeze it was by using the switch on the rear to cycle power.

After the second time, I reset the PVR to factory defaults and reconfigured it. However, it has frozen again.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I am impressed with the Humax. It still has a few issues with padding at times, but they are covered in other threads. My problem is that some recordings are not being saved in the fappropriate older for the series.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Why is this so?
