HUMAX FREESAT BOX qUIERY

Each time we switch on the box it reboots, why doesnt it stay on overnight? Can we alter the setting? I promise i will get the hang of this monster....:(

It will stay on, if you don't switch it off.;)

we dont switch it off ,it goes into just showing clock mode then when we select channel it boots up, the sagem we had previously didnt boot up each morning just stayed on

I think it is a power saving device. But it really only takes a few seconds to boot up, I got used to it pretty quickly and don't even think about it now.

It might be worth looking in the settings. There is probably an option for it. But saying that Humax isn't all that good with options, my Humax Freeview recorder box doesn't have an option to stop that silly red button symbol on the BBC that will ruin my TV if left on. Grrrr @ Humax

There's an energy saving mode that means when you put it in standby the clock doesn't show. All your recordings etc will still take place, so question is, why on earth do you want to leave it switched on overnight? It's meant to 'boot' (not reboot) every time you switch it on, all PVRs do that.

thanks all for replies i always thought it had to be left on to accept software upgrades etc so thanks for teaching an idiot that it doesnt need to be on to do that , many of us are not techy on here thats why we/I ask what may seem stupid questions.....:rotfl:
