Humax 9200 - not switched off?

I always switch my Humax 9200 (using latest firmware) back to stand-by at
night. The following day, when I come to switch it on, even though the clock
appears on the display, it comes on extremely quickly - i.e. without the
usual run up - as if it is actually on. The only other times I have known
this happen are if you switch it on less than 15 minutes before a scheduled
recording - which is not the case now.

Is this the 'thinks it's recording' problem. Any suggestions please?

Just a thought, but have you just installed the latest update? This
writes the electronic programme guide to the hard drive disc before
closing down for the purpose of starting up more quickly. Could this
be what you are seeing?

I think I had this with the latest update. I reset the settings through
the menu and it solved the problem for me. I don't think I'd done a
settings reset after the last update, which may have been the issue.

The fact that the EPG is written to disk does not affect the startup
time, that is, the time between pushing the On/Off button and being able
to watch a broadcast channel or a recording. The EPG is loaded from disk
after that and updated from the over-the-air epg information.

I very occasionally see what Victor Delta describes with my 9200.

The box will normally wake up in the middle of the night to check for a
software update and then go back into standby. This is at 03:00 by
default.

Thanks, but yes - version 23.

I've had this occasionally, but not so much since the .23 update. If you
haven't since the latest software update, do a "Default Setting" (loses the
schedule and one or two other setting but not recorded programmes). The
immediate remedy is to power down at the back and on again.

Thanks. I did, as always, do a full default reset when I installed the
update last June, but perhaps another one is now needed.

It shouldn't really need a default reset in this case. Have you switched off
the automatic software update? This can cause the machine to be on in the
morning. (Note that Default Setting switches automatic software update back
on.)

Thanks. Good thinking, I'll turn it off.
