Channels in the 800s should not be there, do a Default Setting and then check for 800s. If you've got any then it is not always correct to simply delete them, you need to stop them from being received in the first place by doing a Manual Search, instructions below. Note that relay transmitters may only have three multiplexes

The reason for doing a Manual Search is to target the six (five after DSO) multiplexes coming only from your preferred transmitter. The UHF channel numbers for your six/five multiplexes (digital channels) from your preferred transmitter can be obtained from the digitaluk web-site, enter your post code and also tick the "I am in the aerial installation trade" box. Your UHF channel numbers are in the grey columns in the Coverage prediction section. The compass bearing for the available transmitters at your address are also shown so you can check to see which transmitter your aerial is actually pointing at. You should only use the transmitter that your aerial is pointing at.

First you need to delete all existing channels.
Menu > Edit Channels > Edit Channel Lists > Password (0000) and delete all TV channels, note there is a Select All button. Go to Group, select Radio and delete all the radio channels. Press Exit on the remote control and when invited save all the changes.

You will now get a message saying No channels are available……, press OK. You should now be taken to the Installation menu, choose Manual Search. Select the first UHF channel number obtained from the digitaluk web-site for Channel (actually the order doesn’t matter) and press Search. When the search completes, Save. Select the next UHF channel number for Channel and press Search.....Save. Repeat this for all six/five UHF channel numbers and to finish press the Exit button. You will now find all your Freeview channels on their correct numbers with none in the 800 range. Good luck.

Humax have released a software update OTA this morning. Let's hope it has fixed it.

[Peter Henderson]

I've had with my Humax 9300T locking as well. I haven't noticed if it's just the BBC channels that are doing this, however, I've wondered if it's anything to do with the buffering ? What I'm getting at is that if you leave the PVR switched on you can rewind to the point where you tuned to the programme. Does this use up memory ? If the PVR is sitting switched on does this use memory ? Just a thought.

Anyway, I've received an over the air software update and I now have an additional problem. Everytime I switch on from standby it asks me to do a retune, despite the fact that I've already done one. Any ideas how to stop this or will it disappear itself eventually ?

Try doing a factory reset. That cured my problem with channels in the 800s. You wont lose any programmes you've recorded if you do this.

The buffer uses hard disk space not memory. As for the re-tune pop-up have a read of other threads on the forum, especially the one entitled 'New software for 9150t & 9300t'.

Has it balls fixed anything! Waited a month for this fix for nothing. My remote stopped responding last night for about 10 seconds and I came home tonight to find out my box had crashed, yet again and I had nothing to watch as it havdn't managed to record a single thing cos it had locked up. Absolutely no change whatsoever. It's going back this weekend and I'm not accepting an exchange like I did last time. It's gonna be a full refund. And this time I'll be buying something that's not made by HUMAX.

The only fix I can see is the one which involved being conned into buying one of these thing in the first place.

Did you do the requested factory reset after the update?

I'm beginning to feel encouraged. Since doing the OTA update on the 26th, I've had no lockups at all. Previously they were a daily occurrence.

[The Wizard]

Just done the factory reset. Probably should have waited til tomorrow seeing as i'll have to do it again. Got the nagging popup and still don't know if it's gonna stop crashing or not but the EPG is still struggling to load so I'm really not holding out hope. And yes, I did manually tune to the right MUX's.

Does anyone know if the popup will go away after tomorrow or is this something else we're gonna have to live with?

But did you delete all channels first as per my manual search instructions elsewhere? I have no trouble with my 9200 apart from an occasional sluggishness since 30 September re-tune. My friend with a 9300, set up with my help, also has no trouble apart from one lock-up since she bought it at the beginning of the year and this also occured since 30 September.

Receved the update yesterday.

Now I can't seem to get rid of the pop up asking me to retune, even though I've done this and restored factory settings. Very annoying.

It is being discussed in this thread, post #104 onwards.

BTW, I notice you said that a Default Setiings will cure the 800 channels problem. If you already have 800s, and are receiving from more than one transmitter, a Defaults will not cure it unless incredibly lucky, and the circumstances causing duplicate reception, e.g. tropo effect, were not present at the time.

Normally, a DELETE ALL & Manual Tune, is the recommended cure for 800s.

Thank's for the info Les.

The 800's problem occured during the big retune at the end of September. When I did the retune the BBC channels, and some of the ones that moved, ended up in the 800s for some odd reason. Previous to this I also had some of the newer services stuck in the 800s, Virgin 1 +1 and create and craft for example. A factory reset, then a rescan cured all this.

I'm planning to diplex my Cambret Hill and Divis Aerials, so it'll be interesting to see where all the regional variations end up.

Ah, the 30 Sep National Retune. Yes if you just did the Auto Tune, because the muxes were moving around, it would have ADDED to your existing setup, not replaced. The Default Settings would have then deleted all your channels, and started again. So you were not originally getting your duplicates from other transmitters.

Are you planning to feed both signal into 1 box, with all regional variants present?

Don't do this, you will have all sorts of EPG & Accurate Recording problems. They will not be apparent all the time, depending on what channel you leave the box on, and which channels you are recording, but you will have unexplained AR problems/failures.

Rgds.
