If you do not have a BT TV subscription but your box is still connected to the internet then updates will still go ahead as you are used to. BT do still have some control over when updates take place on your 91-00438 but there is no differentiation between one using a BT TV subscription, one using BT as their ISP but no subscription, and one using a different ISP.

DTR T21*0 - Maintenance mode. « My Humax Forum DTR T21*0 - Maintenance mode. « My Humax Forum

So, is there an explanation? I'm guessing the tuner in the DTR-T2100 is either more or less sensitive than the DTR-T1000 and is being affected by not differentiating between East and West Midlands frequencies. Is a variable attenuator or a booster likely to make any difference? Is the aerial somehow at fault in both houses? These instructions to fix my BT box are an absolute godsend. The tell-tale sign of a beeping HDD was enough to convince me that this was worthwhile pursuing….and sure enough it worked. The only problem I had was trying to get the maintenance screen up once the HDD had been replaced – it took about 3-4 attempts before the box finally responded and after that it was plain sailing from then on in. Box is fully up and running now. So thanks for the instructions and saving another bit of kit from going to set top box heaven – as well as doing my bit for saving the planet. I find the BT G4 Yoview box that I also use for BT TV services to be a far better box than the older BT Youview T1000.Retail wise, a smaller option to the Humax DTR-T2000 but still available through normal retail channels with a normal guarantee is a DTR-T2110, but that does not have the Humax 2nd year guarantee as it is BT badged. I think you could a) clone the disk first, then b) extend the final partition to take up any extra space on your new drive, I’m thinking of those with 500Gb drives wanting to go to 1TB. If you can’t get into maintenance mode then perhaps the fault is with the main PCB/circuitry rather than the hard drive 🙁 I live nearby, and when I bring my own Humax DTR-T1000 to their house it receives the above channels no problem. I get the channels no problems at my own house a mile away.

BT YouView+ Humax DTR-T2100 review - Pocket-lint

BritBox is a subscription service focusing on British TV series and films supplied by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. BritBox will offer a wide range of popular TV shows across various categories including Drama, Comedy, Documentary & Lifestyle, Reality & Entertainment and Crime. If you navigate across the top menu, you will be able to search for the content or actor you are looking for. Reasons I opted for this unit was because it had WiFi so no need to connect via cable for the streaming services.The (non-retail) DTR-T2100 is practically identical to the (retail) DTR-T2110 but comes in a plan brown box and the label on the underside identyfing as the DTR-T2100 'model'. There is no other difference. If I recall correctly even the on-screen system information menu does not differentiate the two. Compared with older models, experience from this BT is not only sleeker and faster than before, it offers more channels and more catch-up content than before too. You should be fine with the BT box, I've had one for a few years now, bought as a refurb, and it's been pretty solid. It has little scope for tweaking settings, if you like to fiddle, but it does the job. These are designated by three blue dots under the channel name, such at BT Sport, which is free for BT Infinity and BT Broadband customers, and sits in the EPG ready for you to watch, along with ESPN. APV used to work albeit very sluggishly compared to Netflix, having seen the Software update link I note that the new version was rolled out from 10 Oct, shortly before my problem started. Could the new software release be the cause of my problem?

If the firmware has become corrupted and the copy of the current release of the firmware held on hard disk is also corrupted then it may have to rely on the copy of the base firmware that the box was manufactured with? What I do on mine is remove the aerial at strategic pints to hide the other transmitters, but that can be very difficult to do with some transmitters.

The recordings layout isn't as good as the Humax i think. The Humax gave you thumbnails of the shows all at once.
