Hi

Sorry for late reply :/

 

A replacement Humax 9300t you can pick up off ebay for anything between £30 and £100 so I wouldn't bother getting yours fixed. Easy to setup. Mines been working great for around 15yrs now.

 

You need that aerial cable replacing though, give JAMES at Aerials Above a call:

He is exceptionally good.

This one looks exceptionally good condition, if a seller still has the original box in pristine condition, the set top box probably will be neat and tidy too.

Thanks

Does your box sometimes seize and need re-starting by switch off / on .. or take ages to react to remote control ?

Hi Hera

 

No not really, wonder if that could be a result of the slow ingress of liquid into the system? Cable damage letting water in is a pretty slow event usually. Could also be the result of a bad signal due to unfit cable.

 

If there's water in the box, please make sure you kill the power to the box at the socket before handling it.

Happened 6 months ago : stopped using that aerial : so it must be due to some fault , I would think , in the box : was used when I bought it.

Hmm I think mine was 2nd hand off Ebay but unused. I can't honestly remember. Overall the box runs slower than my TV (not smart) so only really fire up the Box for Netflix and OnDemand. Assume you do the same.
