Applies to: The supplied dual TV/STB remote described in the HUMAX HB-1100S guide, also identified there for HDR-1100S. Match the receiver and button layout. A generic HUMAX replacement, Freeview remote or another numbered remote may use different programming; do not assume one brand-wide button sequence.
Match your symptom
| What you see | What to do next |
|---|---|
| Receiver will not respond | If the receiver seems unresponsive, press STB and try a receiver command such as Home. TV mode sends television commands instead. Check fresh batteries, their polarity and a clear infrared path aimed at the receiver. If the receiver’s own power button works, preserve that observation; it separates some remote problems from a box that will not power up. |
| Receiver works, TV volume fails | If receiver controls work but TV volume or power does not, first test the television’s original remote. That is a TV-control programming question, not a satellite signal fault. Use the three-digit TV brand-code table in this exact manual. A four-digit code from another HUMAX generation is not a substitute. Record the TV brand and which functions fail before changing the existing setup. |
Work through these checks
Select receiver mode first
If the receiver seems unresponsive, press STB and try a receiver command such as Home. TV mode sends television commands instead. Check fresh batteries, their polarity and a clear infrared path aimed at the receiver. If the receiver’s own power button works, preserve that observation; it separates some remote problems from a box that will not power up.
What the result means: The supplied dual TV/STB remote described in the HUMAX HB-1100S guide, also identified there for HDR-1100S. Match the receiver and button layout. A generic HUMAX replacement, Freeview remote or another numbered remote may use different programming; do not assume one brand-wide button sequence.
Program only the matching television controls
If receiver controls work but TV volume or power does not, first test the television’s original remote. That is a TV-control programming question, not a satellite signal fault. Use the three-digit TV brand-code table in this exact manual. A four-digit code from another HUMAX generation is not a substitute. Record the TV brand and which functions fail before changing the existing setup.
What the result means: For this matching remote, select TV, then hold TV for three seconds until it stays lit. Enter one listed three-digit code for your TV brand; the key flashes as digits are entered. If the television responds to the power command, press OK to save. If not, use another code listed for that brand rather than inventing one. The manual says the setup exits after one minute without a code.
Verify both modes and compatibility
Test TV power, volume and the functions you actually need, then press STB and confirm the receiver still responds. One working TV key does not prove every key is supported. The guide advises trying listed alternatives for the best function match; do not repeatedly reset the receiver to improve TV-code compatibility. A replacement purchase should name the receiver and needed TV features, not only “HUMAX compatible.”
What the result means: Stop if batteries leak, the remote becomes hot, or the receiver has damaged power wiring. Do not open powered equipment or factory-reset the receiver for a TV-volume problem. Keep wanted recordings and existing channel settings intact. Contact HUMAX support or the supplier about an unresponsive matching remote, recording the modes, battery result and working front-panel controls.
When to stop and get help

Common questions
Can I use a four-digit HUMAX code?
If receiver controls work but TV volume or power does not, first test the television’s original remote. That is a TV-control programming question, not a satellite signal fault. Use the three-digit TV brand-code table in this exact manual. A four-digit code from another HUMAX generation is not a substitute.
