Carlprowse - will post as soon as I am sure. This time of year there's not a lot of shows I record - not a sport fan, and the rest is mostly crap - so it might take a while to prove that it's fixed the problem.

If you do reformat there's one thing to check - all my scheduled series recordings had to be refreshed as they were also cleared.

Humax support suggested to try reformatting the HDD, which I have done. I will advise if the problem re-occurs.

.... hope the freeze was a one-off!!!

No, it happened again today. Same situation - just looking at files on the internal HDD and it froze. If no-one else has any problems with the latest firmware, it looks like I might have got a dud unit.

I recently ticked the box to receive emails for failed recordings, and received two notifications. Both times the recordings seemed to be perfectly OK.

I am wondering if the ICETV email system assumes a recording failure if the Humax doesn't send a "recording complete" signal, or whether the Humax needs to send "recording failed" signal before the system sends the email.

For various reasons my wifi connection is not working at all times, and there may be no connection at the actual time of the recording. If the first option is the case I'll have to untick the box.

Thanks for any comments.

No, I was doing nothing out of the ordinary. I was just about to open a recorded file on the HDD for viewing and had tried to select it with no response. The machine kept working, but there was no response to any input. I had to do a power reset. I do have DLNA set up, but wasn't using it. I have only had this machine for a few weeks, so I have no history yet - hope the freeze was a one-off!!!

I have loaded v1.08 and also had a freeze a couple of days ago - I was looking at a file on the HDD and the whole thing stopped responding completely. Only way to reset was to switch off on the back. I have the wifi dongle on the front directly in line-of-sight of the router 8 metres away, and have no problems with the connection at any time, so I can't see that being the cause. I will be keeping a close eye on this.
