Oh well, I tried.
Did everthing up to item 6 "6. Press and hold the STANDBY button on the front of the product. The product will now start up and the download process should start, please keep the STANDBY button held in for 30 seconds and then release. The following screen should appear on the TV set while the download takes place" And that's where it fell down. Before 30 seconds has elapsed, the machine starts up and displys a channel then, turns off. The only problem that I can attribute this to, is that the smallest USB drive I have is 2Gb and I've tried two. Anyone else having problems? |

Mine updated OK from a 2GB USB stick. Maybe it's down to individual sticks or manufacturers.

Thought I'd cracked it. I tried a 16Mb Compact Flash card in a USB reader but that's no good either. Do you know if this the only way to upgrade or, will it upgrade over the air or, over Ethernet?

Not many, thankfully. But haven't you heard of Sod's Law?
It would be annoying I agree and I would like to see it fixed too. Maybe it will come. For the time being, for me, I'll be over the moon at being able to delete progs when a recording is taking place. WAHOOO |

Is it a formating thing? has it got to be Fat32
![]() Remember to rename the files (both - 1 at a time, I did loader first) as per the instructions, it won't work with the original filenames (which are there for version identification), and it must be in the root of the drive, not in a folder. Rgds. Les. |

Can't update
Well, I've tried the following:
Pen Drives DaneElec 2Gb Crucial 2Gb Kingston 2Gb formated to FAT32 Compact Flash Sandisk 16Mb (via a USB interface) None of these work. So, I rang Humax and, after what seemed a lifetime, was answered by a most uninterested iok. I got the impression that he was just a kid as his use of words seemed to mirror txt spk! I told him about my trials and was greeted with, "16Mb is too small, it's at least 700Mb". Funny, when the downloaded file is only 6.67Mb? He offered no solution and didn't seem to know about or, understand anthing regarding the recomendation of a sub 2Gb USB drive. Finally I asked about the OTA update. Again, the Milky Bar Kid didn't seem to understand. I gave up! I'll wait for that OTA update but, the only thing that I'm worried about now is, "is my rear USB slot OK?" |

I agree with Les. Mine wouldn't work until I re-named the files, i.e. delete the version numbers, then Bingo||

Why use the rear slot, can't you use the front slot? Rgds. Les. |

It's easy to get caught up in the excitement, and just whack it in without reading all the instructions. Rgds. Les. |

Yep, that's exactly what I'm getting and, despite God knows how many attempts and variations to the process, that I've made, the only certain thing is that the stair carpet is wearing out!!

Don't want to be cruel PizzaJohn... but before I upgraded mine I printed out the instructions which clearly state FRONT usb port, and that was more than 2.5 hours ago... I believe the expression is "bang to rights"......
![]() Patrick Take a peek at this " http://www.humaxdigital.com/global/s...ategory_seq=61 " then order a retrial
