Hi All,
have trawled through the PVR-9200T specific queries and not been able to find any reference to my current problem.
Every night I put our nearly 8 year old Humax on standby, so the fan is not whirring away all night, and bring it out of standby in the morning. This morning, however, it refused to play nicely. It ran out of extended warranty in 2012 so I can't see Humax being of any assistance.
Symptoms are: -
Press standby button, display comes alive, goes through the "BUOV" stage (I think that's right, the display isn't very clear) then goes to the 4 hyphens, at which point it displays "[Please wait]" on the TV screen, and then freezes at that stage.
All connections have been checked and double-checked.
I have tried the "Power off, Aerial out, Power on" route, to use the TV as just a monitor, but it still goes no further than "[Please wait]".
Is there any other trick I can try, or must I consider my old faithful to be totally defunct?
If so I would obviously go for an HD replacement, but should I opt for 320GB, 500GB or 1000GB? We rarely have as much as 2 pages of recorded programs, as most of our recording is work-around program clashes, and the longest program would be of the order of 2 hours. I don't know what the capacity of the PVR-9200T is. Any enlightenment available on this score?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
