Calling any Humax PVR 9x00T users

Is your EPG (aka programme guide) running very slow? Lots of gaps in it that take ages to fill - if ever. Only programme data for a few days ahead when previously you had at least 7 days?

Unfortunately there is an inherent design flaw in this series as Humax have not allowed enough room for the EPG with all the muxes/channels that are around. You can try and mitigate any problems by carrying out a manual tune to ensure that you are only picking up the correct MUXes from the right transmitter but that only stops things getting any worse. There is still this inherent design flaw.

There are two solutions. One - buy a different PVR. Two - go down the channel lists and decide which mux you can do without. I manually tuned to just three muxes and by the time I'd finished off the third one, the EPG had already populated. I added one more mux and gaps started to re-appear. Such a shame that the commercial boys haven't put all those crappy shopping channels on the one mux as that would have made life easy.

Note that you have to remove the whole MUX. Deleting channels in your PVR will not make any difference.

It annoys the hell out of me in work! We stream a number of channels internally and we need 4 encoders just to have all the BBC channels because they are spread across MUX's!

Must be intentional as a revenue stream...!

We have a PVR 9200T in the spare room but gets very little use.
Our main one is a HDR FOX T2 - no problems with that?

As far as I know the Fox is OK.
