It seems to happen in certain circumstances. Several users have
apparently found those circumstances make the fault reproducible, and
avoiding them prevents the issue.

Are Humax even aware of the
problem?

Yes. See

I get this defect too. But I can reproduce. Can anyone help with the hints
to stop it happening

I also get a similar problem where it only records a fragment of the
scheduled program

Not complaining, I still think its a great box. Wishes would be:

1) PinP for the menu's
2) Schedule overlap
3) Ethernet or USB for web access(dreaming I guess)

It is not trivial, last night I missed a recording because a previous
programme had recorded for over 800 minutes and the disk was full.

I think (though I haven't done much research) that the only times it
has happened to me is if I have used timeshifting live TV while
recording. I tend to just leave it alone when recording now and
haven't had a problem since.
