All I see there is a command to join something.

They say: 'Software update on Humax UK Freesat+ with Freetime boxes!!!

A software update will take place on all Freesat+ with Freetime boxes
today, the 7th January. This is an automatic update but if you can't
wait, you can do this manually simply search for new software by
pressing Home, Settings, System settings, Software update and Search new
software.
The update will provide support for the Freesat iOS App which will be
available in the App Store later this month.
For more information on what the update means to you visit,
www.freesat.co.uk/about-freesat/whats-new '

No mention of Freeview, which has been where the problem lies for me - I
was able to record from BBC4 HD OK on Freesat.

Is the missing part of that: "... but not on Freeview'? The
earlier reference to "the Freeview HD recording problem" doesn't
identify what problem.

Why is it that vendors seem to think that we all have Facebook accounts
nowadays and that's pretty much the only vehicle that they use? I have
no interest in Facebook and generally steer clear of companies with such
a narrow viewpoint.

Because for them it is a very cheap service to use, and is (despite those who choose not to use it) very widely used by consumers.

Its rarely the case that they don't also put info on their own website for those who choose not to subscribe to services like facebook, but in the absence of facebook / twitter etc, what would you prefer them to use which is equally as good at disseminating information to a wide audience?

This thread started as a discussion of failures to record BBC3/4 HD on
Humax Freeview recorders, and mine failed on a BBC4 film. I was able to
record a programme from BBC4 on the 'Humax Freesat+ with Freetime' later
on (I also backed it up in SD on another machine to be on the safe
side). So I don't know whether there is actually an ongoing problem with
Freesat, but so far they haven't addressed (but have admitted to) the
Freeview one.

I do quote whatever is there on fb, realising that not everyone has or
wants an account.

I use a throwaway email address to join fb. No contacts in it, and
anyone I "friend" or who "friend"s me will have exposed theirs already.

The fb post today from Humax has been quoted above.

Humax do seem to reply more often and more quickly to fb comments.
