Unplugging the TV.
« on: October 09, 2018, 21:05 »
If I unplug the tele, and the recorder thingy, will I lose all the set-up, or when I replug it will it be the same.

This was one of Darling OH's tasks, and I am not sure.  thanks,  Mrs Bouquet

Settings and recordings should be fine .
The tv guide may not be updated if the recorder is off overnight.

thanks, I'll err on safety and turn it off, as long as I don't have to reset everything, I don't mind losing some recordings.  Mrs Bouquet

Agree settings and recordings already made should be fine along with channels.

Future recording schedules will probably be lost.

If your recorder is not one that sets the time from the signal you may have to reset the clock each time you switch it back on - if it automatically reads the time standard signal and sets itself you will be fine.

Some machines update themselves overnight - checking for any changes to their embedded firmware and/or new channel searches.  If you have a trawl through the various menus you may find a setting you can change so that for instance it does the update search  whenever you switch the power on.

Oh Hamstergbert, You have lost me there.   I just press the Humax on, go to 'guide' which shows the channels, programme titles, time etc, and press.  I hope I won't lose 'Killing Eve' and a couple of other things I have become engrossed in.  :ohmy:  Mrs Bouquet

I have decided to leave the TV switched ON -  reading what you have all told me, basically, if its all switched 'off' it won't work.   ::)  Thanks guys and gals,  Mrs B

It would be fine to unplug or switch off the power supply to the TV every night - it's the Humax box that does all the thinking/updating/remembering of recording schedules etc.

I've got far more 'gadgets' than sockets so those related to the TV are all plugged into a a 4-way extension socket with individual switches. Makes it easy to cut the standby power to just one appliance (especially if you label the plugs/adaptors with what they're connected to!)
