Humax DRT400 TiVo 40-Hours Video Recorder Questions & Answers
Humax DRT400 Tivo won't burn content to DVDs
My solution is going to require entering the unit, so you may want a qualified service tech to perform the job, but i would check the connection between the burner and the board.
Humax digital recorder picture freeze every 10 minutes
Humax are having problems and are starting to send out software upgrades (night-time updates) - seems to be related to the new formats on the MUXs for the digital switch-over. Our 9150T hasn't been fixed yet but due any day (I hope)
Trying to set up tivo series 2 without remote
There are different codes depending on whether the Tivo was set to respond as a specific device (1 or 2) on the remote or by standard default (device 0). Also, typically each universal remote has its own code for each device, which is specific to the remote, not the device you wish to control. For the $20.00, it might not be a bad thing to simply buy a new universal remote that is capable of controlling a PVR (There are many good ones out there).
I can't figure out how
You can't. The unit doesn't have dual tuners, so your stuck with just recording one show at a time. Sorry.
Can I use HUMAX like a 24 hour surveillance recorder?
For the TIVO series 2: hit the TIVO button, then go to messages and settings, then to to video input, then go to change input, then pick which input your camera uses. It will ask you if you can see the picture. If you can click the answer and then hit the select button. Then hit the TIVO button again then hit watch live tv.
The Humex should work very similar.
Recorder just keeps recycling the boot-up process
It's most likely your hard drive. It has to be functional for the DVD portion to work. It can be replaced by a preconfigured kit or buy a new drive and do it yourself. You can also send it to places like CCS in Indiana that will thoroughly test out the unit and give you options.
No picture on Humax DRT400
Try taking the cover off and taking an air compressor and blowing it out real good. I have the exact same one and I had the exact same problem and after i blew it out it worked like new.
Humax 5000t does not find HD channels when scanning
If your Humax 5000t is not finding HD channels during scanning, there could be a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Check signal strength: HD channels may require a stronger signal compared to standard-definition channels. Make sure your antenna or cable connection is secure and properly aligned. You can also try repositioning the antenna or cable to improve the signal strength.
- Perform a full rescan: Sometimes, a full rescan can help resolve channel detection issues. Go to the settings or menu of your Humax 5000t and find the option to perform a full rescan or channel search. This process may take some time, so be patient and allow it to complete.
- Update the firmware: Outdated firmware can cause compatibility issues and affect channel scanning. Check if there is a firmware update available for your Humax 5000t. Refer to the manufacturer's website or user manual for instructions on how to update the firmware. Follow the recommended steps carefully to avoid any potential issues.
- Verify broadcast standards: Ensure that your Humax 5000t is compatible with the broadcast standards used in your region. Different countries and regions may use different broadcast standards for HD channels. Check the specifications of your Humax device and confirm that it supports the specific HD broadcast standard used in your area.
- Reset to factory settings: As a last resort, you can try resetting your Humax 5000t to factory settings. Keep in mind that this will erase all your saved settings and recordings, so make sure to back up any important data beforehand. Look for the reset option in the settings menu of your device and follow the on-screen instructions.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's advisable to contact Humax customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting guidance based on your model and help you resolve the problem with HD channel detection.

" I have tried all suggestions in your manual "
Not OUR manual, we are Fixya dot com, we are nothing to do with Humax, we are not who you think we are.
First, fully disconnect all devices from mains power for 15 minutes, router, television and the Humax Box. Plug in the router first, then the Humax and finally the television. It will take about 15 minutes for them all to come back online after the reset and all recognise each other. This is called a 'Power Cycle' and reloads all the software and connections. Then try again.
If that doesn't fix it, you can fully Factory Reset the Humax unit, or you can just go into Settings and put the router settings back in SSID and Password.
