For a couple of weeks now our Humax 8000T which has been turned off by
pressing the switch on the left hand front - the light on the front is
showing red not green and the display shows the clock (the machine does
still have mains power) - has been turning itself on overnight so in the
morning the light on the front is now showing green and the display shows
channel 1 as if we'd switched it on!

Presumably it is picking up some overnight signal to switch on and update
something? Anyone know what and why this behaviour has only started
happening recently?

Thanks for any insights.

There's a feature in the settings menu for enabling Power On at a preset
time (and another for Power Off).

I had the same problem on my Humax 8000T. It started a few weeks ago
powering on at midnight. I checked the Power on/off settings and they were
disabled. I tried putting in on/off times which worked but then disabling
this feature did not stop the 8000T powering on at midnight every eve.

Only way I resolved the problem was to perform a full reset and then all was
OK (Note this puts all settings back to the factory default settings.
Procedure as follows:-

Select Menu
Select Installation and enter pin (default is 0000)
Select option 4 - Default Setting
Select Yes
