With this box, had I not been given the equipment free by Youview at the end of the trial but paid the initial price, it would waiting to be sent out as a warranty replacement by now and the money back in my account. So far I've had nothing apart from the same stock reply from my comments about the boilerplate response. Phoned up, they eventually agreed to send a claim form, took my email address and told me what I needed to attach. So I decided to get it replaced under the warranty. I came to the conclusion that it might be a dodgy hard drive sector that also caused the crash - in the absence of Humax owning up to getting a cheap batch of drives like they persist with the power supply capacitors in the Foxsat HDs, their initial recovery program points to the wrong reset routine or anyone finds another answer. Looking back I remembered a series of recordings with a couple of seconds garbage in the middle on "time shifts" when the useage meter was around the same mark. My box suffered the dreaded box crash and goodbye recordings glich just before the last update. Anyway the internet connection warnings flashing up upteen times, empty EPG at times, interupted catch ups and total failures to connect to on demand over the last week probably mean that bit is going west too. This morning it yet again displayed a blue screen on startup and frankly I cannot be bothered doing the rounds of checking HDMI lead etc if Humax finally deign to replace it. My Youview box's sole purpose at the moment is as a tiny orange lighting feature. Humax equipment and service have a reputation, just not the one that these antics are earning. While we are on the YouView spec, anyone seen a USB wi-fi dongle for this box or a secret wifi circuit inside one? Or come to that the "Foxsat HD mk 2" from the same press launch as the Fox T2 and shared the silver circle case design? Are Demand 5 and 4OD available yet on the free time boxes or is the screen shot in the TV ad still optimistic? Youview deals archive#How long after that press launch did the USB recording get added to the T2? No sign of the similar archive ability so people can back up on the Youview box even though its required by the base spec, which could stop people who do want to retain recordings getting quite so annoyed with the reset glitch. It's yet another case of announcing features or claiming compliance with the industry specification before finishing the unit. The feigned innocence to Foxsat HD owners whose boxes stay on the "circling snakes" display 24 months and one day after purchase when the capacitors go who are told as its out of warranty, they have to pay the fixed repair fee (more than you can pick up a new box for). Youview deals manuals#The first HD Fox T2 manuals telling you which problems you may have that are down to your satellite dish connection. I'm starting to wonder if this is Humax confusing their customers and wiping their hands of problems again. Was my box faulty then as I did not loose anything doing those? Youview deals manual#I also remember doing two manual retunes at the last stages of DSO. Partly true but hardly what people suffering this glitch like to be accused of when they are well aware they claim elsewhere to be working on it.Īs for the suggestion wiped hard drives are standard if the box is reset funny there was a "Reset and retain" option in the concealed engineer menu which was moved to be an available option in the standard menu recently. " No doubt they'll claim their version is more common usage amounting to the same thing. That English verb nicely puts the blame back on you rather than use the passive "if the box is.
