Hi there

Have had problems accessing ABC iView and SBS On Demand via the Humax TV Portal in the past so have not used it much.

I see from other forum posts that others continue having been having trouble with ABC iView.

Last night I tried to watch a program from SBS On Demand via the TV portal but once it got through the initial advertisement it failed to load and the Humax locked up.

Is anything being done to address this issue?  For us the TV Portal is pretty much useless as is. :(

Received a new Humax via IceTV a few weeks ago to replace our existing Strong PVR (yes I know - I can hear the groans) and must say we are very happy with the ease of use and functionality.

However, one problem we are experiencing is breaking up of the signal resulting in pixelation and losing a few seconds of recorded programs at random times during the recording, which in some cases is so bad the recorded program is virtually unwatchable.  Although we do occassionaly get some signal break up when just watching TV, this is rare and minor.  It is much worse on recorded programs, particularly if two programs are being recorded at the same time.  Have checked signal strength and quality on all channels and all is good.  Can't be precise, but would estimate we have this problem on 50 -60% of our recordings to varying degrees.

Our previous Strong PVR had it's faults, but signal break up was not one of them at any time and we have never previously had a problem with signal quality - all the cabling and antenna is less than two years old. So it seems to me that the problem is with the Humax.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar problem or if there are any other suggestions.
