  • I have connected the TV and Humax box but I get no picture on my TV?
    > Please ensure that the Green LED is on the front of the Humax receiver, if it is not please press the Yellow Standby button on your Remote Control.
    > If no picture comes on automatically then please select the correct A/V channel on your TV.
  • I cannot control the volume on my TV?
    > You will first need to setup the Humax Remote control for this; please refer to the Manipulating your TV using Remote Control section of the manual. We cannot guarantee that all TVs will work, but if none of the codes in the Manual work correctly then please contact our Customer Service Helpline as more codes may be available.
  • I get a black border around some of the channels, how can I get a full picture?
    > You will need to change the Display Format to Centre Cut-out in the A/V Control menu. Alternatively change the settings to find the best for your TV set. Please refer to the Setting Preferences section of the manual.
  • Can you manually search for individual Multiplexes/Transponders?
    > Yes using Manual Search in the menu, if you require the Multiplex information please contact our Customer Service Helpline. The Manual search also offers you a Network search option.

  • Does the receiver start-up at the same channel when there is a Power cut?
    > Yes
  • Can you organise the channels the way you want to?

  • Can I use the Remote to control my TV? If so is my TV definitely supported
    > Yes you can control your TV using the Humax Remote. We cannot guarantee that all TVs will work, but if none of the codes in the Manual work correctly then please contact our Customer Service Helpline as more codes may be available.
  • How many channels can I store on the receiver?
    > All available Freeview channels, as well as any channels they send in the future.
  • Can I record a Digital channel and still watch a different analogue channel, or Vice-Versa?
    > Yes, this will depend on the connection method, normally meaning tuning your VCR. Please refer to the manual or contact our Customer Service Helpline for assistance.
  • Will Humax honour the warranty period if I cannot contact my dealer in the future?
    > Yes, but please keep proof of purchase to make things easier.
  • Can I connect this box to another room in the house or to another DTT receiver?
    > Yes you can. All Humax models have an RF Modulator. This will allow you to connect a second receiver so you can get the signal for Freeview in another location. It will also allow you to feed the signal to a second TV.
  • Can I get EPG (Programme Information)?
    > Yes, but only the information that is provided from the Broadcaster. Currently only Now/NEXT information is available but this will be extended in the future.
  • Can I program the receiver to switch to a channel at a particular time for recording purposes?
    > Yes, you can set 20 Schedules in the menu so that the receiver will switch to the channel, date, and time specified. Although to record you will also need to set your VCR. When more EPG information is available you can set Reservations by selecting the programme in the Guide.
  • Can you access Teletext or Subtitles?
    > There is no Teletext as the MHEG 5 interactive engine is not available on this model, but you can access the DVB subtitles using the Subtitle button on the remote.
  • Can I watch the Interactive channels from BBC sport or Fame Academy?
    > Although this box does not have the MHEG Engine you can still use the 301 and 302 channels to watch the programs broadcasted this way.
