I didn't know people could SMS this forum now. Handy.
Let me guess; was the problem that box froze on bootup showing four dashes on the display? If so that is a known problem that can be fixed rather more easily using Humaxcheck.
let me jsut say i know naff all about humax's this is the 1st time ive seen one and this is how i fix'd it just thought i would put it here just in case it will help others
Yes and congratulations on fixing it but there is a better way which means that existing programs don't get lost; see Hummy.org.uk FAQ
