Maybe, you guys all knew that, but it surprised me.


Probably the same mistake that I made. The Humax control has
two buttons at the top to select whether to control a TV
or the PVR.

If you're trying to control the PVR, maybe you accidentally
pressed the TV button!

Indeed, removing the batteries will cause a reset and
resolve the problem


The PVR remote will usually remember which model of TV it's configured
for when you change the batteries, so it must have non-volatile memory
which could prevent it being reset. The original One For All had to have
the batteries removed for a long time before it lost all its codes. The
reprogramming would fail after a time, or maybe after it had been
reprogrammed too many times.
