My Satellite Setup
Panansonic 43" TV with Humax Foxsat HDR with Octo LNB on circular dish fitted about 2 years ago. I have no computers connected to the stllite system
My Location
South West Cheshire
I have a Humax Foxsat HDR Freesat recorder which has worked perfectly for some 8 years. Yesterday, a problem occurred. Some, but not all, channels display incorrect and out of date information when changing channels or pressing the ‘I’ button that is. It shows the wrong time and programme name, although the correct programme actually plays on screen. This means that a scheduled recording on an affected channel does not take place. The Guide shows the correct information.
 
Has the unit ever been powered off? a long shot but powering off at the wall and pressing the power button on the unit if there is one for 10-30 seconds to drain the power and then startup again may work.
 
Thank you for your reply.
Yes. I unplugged it today and switched it off on the rear ON/OFF toggle switch for about an hour. The problem was still there on restart. It took a while for the Guide to populate itself with programme details

Since posting earlier, many channels have now realigned themselves. BBC 3 and BBC 4 have not but may once they start at 7.00pm tonight

All is now resolved and back to normal. What the problem was, i have no idea but I suspect that it lay outside the Humax
