I got home from the office a few days ago to be informed by my eldest daughter<\/p>\n

\u201cDad, the telly is broke\u201d<\/p>\n

The Humax PVR-9150T we have replaced an Argos re-badged box which we had no end of problems with<\/p>\n

Apart from the fact it\u2019s a bit loud and you can\u2019t turn the subtitles on and off after you\u2019ve paused live TV I\u2019ve been pretty happy with it. Even if we do have 100GB worth of CBeebies<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The problem was that the box would start up, a message would flash on screen (something about loading or scanning, but too fast for me to read) and the picture would finally appear. After a few minutes the box would restart and go through the whole thing again<\/p>\n

With the last PVR we had any problems were generally resolved by returning it to factory defaults though it was massive pain as we\u2019d lose all our recordings<\/p>\n

The fix turned out to be pretty simple<\/p>\n

I unplugged the aerial and switched the box on. It come on this time but didn\u2019t restart and the message I saw earlier was no-where to be found<\/p>\n

On a hunch I went into the channel list and deleted ALL the channels and restarted the box again<\/p>\n

It started up again quite happily and once I rescanned for channels it\u2019s been fine ever since<\/p>\n

I can only speculate that there was a problem with the data the box had for one of the channels<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
