David Parker: As far as sources to purchase is concerned Argos is currently advertising a Humax HD-Fox T2 box for £89.97, (item No 532-2415) and although when dealing with digital equipment nothing can really ever be guaranteed to be perfect for 100% of the time, but from the engineering point of view Humax devices are basically quality boxes, so you couldn't really go far wrong with that.
Of course, much as I hate recommending devices to anyone as its tempting Murphy's law!

David Parker,Rotherham.Thanks for responding.There is the Bush DVB680 Freeview HD set top box under £60 at Argos yet if you're quick enough (come this Monday 26th) its currently priced at £33 at this moment in time while im texting in reply.
Actually im not from Barnsley myself but im currently residing (occasionally) with family (brother and my in-laws) who presently live in Barnsley themselves hence the Barnsley locaton (i currently reside in Halifax,close to the Yorkshire/Lancashire border),but as i dont regularly stay in Barnsley very much i do not know of any reputable TV retailers in the Barnsley/South Yorkshire area where HD set top boxes come inexpensively within the £100 range you specified in your reply to my earlier text.
But there is the Bush DVB680 which i mentioned earlier above as a suggestion within the price range you stated apart from that the only other suggestions are above the £100 price range,the likes of Humax,Samsung,Sony,Goodmans,etc.
I do hope you obtain that refund from the Technika box and avoid them in future,and purchase a reputable alternative instead.
I hope this text is of valuable assistance to you,and hopefully when you buy a much better alternative you get much happier viewing than your present one that is giving you so much grief at this moment in time.

David Parker: Humax is a quality brand, and which unlike most others is "not" a brand name that has been tagged onto a standard chassis that is also known under a host of other names, with this being the reason why some odd fault being reported might coincidentally (but not!) appear on more than one brand name, the Turkish manufactured Vestel chassis being known by at least 15+ different brand names including Philips, Hitachi, Digihome etc to name but a few.
Regarding the updates, the reason for them being frequently mentioned is simply because they are a company with excellent back up facilities, and many of these notifications are either for different models in their comprehensive range of Freesat & Freeview devices, or are simply repeats of updates that have been previously made, this just in case someone has missed them by having their box switched off completely rather than being left in standby. (which should always be done!)
Below is a link to their website where you can see their entire ranges of equipment, plus there is also a Humax users site where virtually any query a person might have can be answered by dedicated enthusiasts of Humax equipment. (myself having three of their devices, a Freesat HDR and two older 9200T Freeview PVR's)
Humax devices are always that little bit more expensive, but up to a point you get what you pay for, my only criticism of Humax being that they aren't quite so user friendly as far as their menu systems are concerned but which I can put up with for sake of having a box that dedicated spares can be obtained for, something which you cannot do for practically ever other brand, but its your choice as the special offer mentioned by Mark is quite appetising if you want to keep costs down.

David Parker been a reading your previous postings, as regards your freeview set top box. Fully agree with are all the advice you have been given. As regards the name of Humax, I appreciate you may not have heard of it before, but it is a known brand not made for Argos. It is sold in lots of outlets. Simply Google the name and you will see the results. Along with a few makes they make boxes for freeview and satellite. Good luck in getting your money back and are getting a new set top box I have had my Humax since freeview HD started, Emley moor.

jb38: You say that boxes should always be left in standby and not turned off at the mains.
I have one in my bedroom and switch it off at the mains at night, primarily due to the "Update" it does at 2am and 5am, necessitating the fan to run.
There are two other PVRs in the household and they (both Pioneers) perform these updates.
Can you shed light on what they're doing during the Update?
Do all Freeview receivers do these updates at standard times of day? And if so, this must surely show up on the electricity distribution grid as all devices spring into life at the same time.
So why not have the Updates carried out at random times, as well as allow time periods to be set during which they are never carried out? Do the 2am, 5am etc Updates coincide with when some information is transmitted (which is not transmitted at other times)?

I must agree with you, and all of the others who have told me about this box.Being able to record two programs at time on a 500gig hard drive sounds very impressive.Cannot work it out how it does it but i am only a simple guy.
Gone are the days when i used to mend Decca 30's Phillips g8's g11 Bush t20's Iam no good with this moden stuff
