Understanding that an OTA update cost money, but why not make it available online for download? That would at least keep cost to a bare minimum?

But ok, if there is no benefit what so ever, it is to an extent pointless in sending out an update.
think you missed the point, appears Humax are being pro-active in this matter

having recently bought a Humax how I determine what s/w it has as I do not know how long the supplier may have had it in stock?
I tried to see if it would download new s/w but was told no new s/w available
Hi charlo press menu select system (bottom icon) and press ok, select diagnostics press ok.

maybe it is too late tonight, but I don't understand your point. How is Humax pro-active by not making a newer version of the firmware available to all users, either by OTA or by internet download?

thanks GaseousClay
I`ve found it and it is 1.00.01 s/w, 28 Oct 2008 so it must be only certain ppl allowed to update.

It appears that going by your version that humax are currently not transmitting the 1.00.02 update and are possibly sending out updates for the non PVR box at the moment. If I were you I would try and force an update once a week and see if you can catch one when they do decide to transmit the PVR s/w

Do you have dual feeds coming into the HDR?

Bob_cat,

Why don't they put the updated files on a software link on the web site, this will allow those with hopefully some technical savvy to bring thier release up to the most current, and highlight any bugs found in this version.

Would it not also be prudent to maybe have a beta firmware site (invite only) that when your devlopers have a version ready for mass testing could be released to beta testers. This would help to catch any of those unforseen issues that only real world testing seems to pick out. Or do you already have a such a testing program.

yes I have dual feeds

I have also tried to set series link for working lunch but it missed wednesday`s prog which was at a later time than the rest of the week.
is this how it is meant to be? - if so, it is next to useless and I may as well set manually for each day separately.

I also set it for countdown and it missed the 5.25pm show and it shows the next timer is set for 4.55am which is not the same episode but a repeat of Monday`s prog. and I usually switch the box off at night and on again at midday.

My box successfully recorded working lunch today. I would recommend you download .02 firmware from the Humax website and upgrade manually.

The update was removed from the Humax website weeks ago.
