    Yes but why would it record at all, in that case?
    I don't suppose the remote is suffering from a button demise?

    How full is your HDD? If it's full and you haven't enabled auto-delete
    of the oldest recording I guess it wouldn't record on timer.

    Just to add insult to injury, my Panasonic recorded from EPG without
    problem on Sunday and last night. So it's not Freeview - at least you
    can eliminate that.

    The wake-up 15 minutes early is when it checks the EPG to see if the
    programme is still at the time you originally set.

    So I wonder if it isn't seeing the EPG?

    I have seen some channels that are part time in that they only broadcast
    for part of the day, where in the quiet time I get a "No Signal" warning
    on the screen when I turn the PVR[1] on (for example BBC THREE sometimes
    does it). If the Foxsat is left tuned to such a channel, it wouldn't be
    able to confirm the start time and wouldn't then record. It will only
    change to the appropriate channel when the recording starts.

    Set a programme from the EPG and go into standby. When it checks, 15
    minutes before the start time, do an immediate check of the programme
    guide to see if it is in place. If that is your problem, remember to
    change to BBC1 after setting the recording.

    [1] I have a Manhattan Plaza rather than a Foxsat, but the principle is
    the same.

     Humax are saying there's a general fault and they're going to fix it.
    All my Freesat Humax boxes have the same problem.

    Problems recording with Humax Freesat Boxes – Recordings missed,
    Recordings Failed
    As of 14/02/2022 Humax Freesat boxes have an issue regarding timed
    recordings. Recordings missed, Recordings Failed, Unable to make
    recordings because box is saying already recording etc. This is because
    Freesat made some changes to there Program guide EPG system transmission
    data. Humax is aware of this and will be working to fix it ASAP. This is
    not a problem with the Humax boxes but a data transmission change by
    Freesat. The problem is affecting Foxsat, HDR-1000S, HDR- 1010S,
    HDR-1100S Freesat boxes. Our advice is not to start resetting or
    adjusting parameters in the box. You would have thought that Freesat
    would have consulted Humax before making changes to the data transmissions!

    It's waking up 15 min. before, the EPG shows the proggy still there, it does
    a zero 'recording'.
    I'll set up the padding a bit, but that also means being present for some changes as the padding will introduce a pseudo-'clash'.

    How does the Humax decide what it has already recoded to prevent repeats?

    Could it be that the broadcaster has provided the wrong CRID information
    and your box thinks it doesn't need to be recorded because it already
    has a copy.

    If based on a text description could the text description of the
    programmes be blank. A blank description matches a previous blank
    description so it must be a repeat.

    If a transponder is missing any programme transmitted on it will result
    in a zero length recording.

    min. before time then does nothing.
    I've checked through the Menu - all OK and also done a full mains off - >>>> unplug (just to be sure) reboot a couple of times.
    Manual recording and playbak are OK but rather negates the reason for having
    a PVR!

    Any ideas, please, before I go through the faf of a factory reset?

    The wake-up 15 minutes early is when it checks the EPG to see if the
    programme is still at the time you originally set.

    So I wonder if it isn't seeing the EPG?

    I have seen some channels that are part time in that they only broadcast >>> for part of the day, where in the quiet time I get a "No Signal" warning >>> on the screen when I turn the PVR[1] on (for example BBC THREE sometimes >>> does it). If the Foxsat is left tuned to such a channel, it wouldn't be
    able to confirm the start time and wouldn't then record. It will only
    change to the appropriate channel when the recording starts.

    Set a programme from the EPG and go into standby. When it checks, 15
    minutes before the start time, do an immediate check of the programme
    guide to see if it is in place. If that is your problem, remember to
    change to BBC1 after setting the recording.

    [1] I have a Manhattan Plaza rather than a Foxsat, but the principle is
    the same.

    It's waking up 15 min. before, the EPG shows the proggy still there, it does >> a zero 'recording'.
    I'll set up the padding a bit, but that also means being present for some
    changes as the padding will introduce a pseudo-'clash'.

    How does the Humax decide what it has already recoded to prevent repeats?

    Don't know.

    Could it be that the broadcaster has provided the wrong CRID information
    and your box thinks it doesn't need to be recorded because it already
    has a copy.

    If based on a text description could the text description of the
    programmes be blank. A blank description matches a previous blank
    description so it must be a repeat.

    Five is good at no description and that's OK.
    The 'lower' 5s and ITV channels are a damned nuisance: set a film and get a clash because there's a repeat a few days earlier or later, so the
    description has no effect. Must be identical PRID.

    If a transponder is missing any programme transmitted on it will result
    in a zero length recording.

    It happens for other reasons, such as a Briefing that appears at short
    notice and a programme on BBC 1 goes to BBC 2.

    Set the Start to 1 min. and it's OK.
    Left the End on Auto and the recording stops at that time.
    BBC News at Six is usually 32 min. Tonight it stopped at 30 min so missed
    the weather forecast. Fortunately the early start on Look East had
    tomorrow's weather on it.

    Would one not have thought that Freesat would have tested any changes with
    mass owned equipment befor the changed something like this? After all the makers could have implimented an update perhaps.
    In the US I bet those at Freesat would be looking at an expensive legal
    case by now.

    As of 14/02/2022 Humax Freesat boxes have an issue regarding timed
    recordings. Recordings missed, Recordings Failed, Unable to make
    recordings because box is saying already recording etc. This is because
    Freesat made some changes to there Program guide EPG system transmission >>> data.

    Even searching for some of the exact text you've obviously found
    somewhere, google turns up a blank.

    If only humax had their own website for information like this ...

    Mine is working; at least the one I've checked is. It had lost all its
    timings for future recordings though, but I've put them back and it's OK.

     Humax are saying there's a general fault and they're going to fix it.
    All my Freesat Humax boxes have the same problem.

    Which explains why I have a couple of duff recordings on my Foxsat in
    the last few days.

    I was not bothered as they were probably series I have never bothered to remove.

    That's good - gets rid of possible clashes (I've 2 recs set for 18:30 and 1
    for 19:00, then similar at 21:00). Often have to be here for such changes anyway, as the Hummy is good at recording a bit of continuity and dropping
    the next rec. set. I'd still like to know what Freesat did.
    Thanks for all the help.

    Me too, because I haven't got a Humax, and my Manhattan Plaza Freesat
    box didn't have any problems with series record not working.

    So why was it not a *general* Freesat PVR problem?
