Have you tried the factory reset on the box?

Re: Humax Free sat locks up and resets

Funny that, Ive had a very similar problem. My Humax HDR will completely freeze up at random intervals and the only way to reset is to use the power switch on the rear of the box. I considered getting another HDMI cable as the one I am using is a cheapo from E Buyer, but these cables have had very good reviews.
