No problem. Nothing is more frustrating than unreliable timers. However the Humax set up via menus further down is fine. I struck problems initially using their "record series option" - that does not work, I'm told by Humax because some series have episodes tagged with different codes and the Humax relies on seeing the one code so will not fire if not detected.
So I now set via EPG for a single recording, then go down via the yellow button to edit it.
The Humax seems very touchy about clashes so it might be necessary to edit start stop times to avoid that. e.g. 7.30 sometimes runs a minute over (curse the ABC for doing that) so the following program, if required, needs it start time moved on a couple of minutes. That avoids their ABC advertising propaganda also.
Apart from the no skip & poor FF gripe I'm pleased with this PVR. And, if you are prepared to mess around with installing your own HDD, you can convert the STB to a PVR for less than the equivalent terrestrial model costs - now for VAST, that is progress!!
