New software for 9150t and 9300t pvrs on Humax website today.

What about us long suffering 9200T owners who have had their machine for over 3 years. We are in desperate need of an update to fix the slow response problems. This should have been the priority, very poor customer service.

Has anyone with the 9150/9300 tried the update - does it show signs of working?
Just wondering if us desperate 9200 owners have something to look forward to !

Don't hold your breadth, wishful thinking maybe!. I would have thought they would have done the 9200T first, the fact there is nothing on their website yet is a bit concerning.

As I have said in response to one of your other posts, Humax appear to respond to commercial pressures. The 9150/9300 is a current model so it is commercially more important for Humax to resolve the problems with them first. I am sure that we both hope they will do something to help 9200 users ASAP.

Makes sense. I wonder if they’ll recall the stock at wholesalers? Some people may buy a unit already in the channel after the update has been transmitted OTA and end up with the old firmware. Not everyone has a PC and serial cable and many new PCs don’t even have a serial port. I suppose Humax will replace them under warranty with a box with updated firmware or advise them to be patient and wait for the next OTA update.

will this new software be available via OTA anytime soon??

I assume that it will be OTA as soon as Humax can secure a slot.

In the past updates have been transmitted a fair number of times to ensure that the majority of boxes get updated.

So, has anyone done the update? Thinks none of you has a pc with a RS232 port.
I've got my cable plugged into my desktop ready. All I need now is the 9200 update !!

Delighted it has appeared relatively quickly, and hoping it works as my 9150T has glitched 3 or 4 times in the last few weeks.

For the benefit of those where their PC and TV aren't in the same place, here's a link to an old posting explaining how I updated my 9150T connected ONLY to my PC and not to a TV (ie had to work out what 9150T was doing without seeing onscreen prompts) and an update that made it even easier to spot how it was going...

And here's the Humax 9150T site link for those who haven't worked out where it is:

I did the update this morning on my 9150t which had locked up 7 times in last week and no lockups so far only problem is the pop up that wants you to do a retune every time it comes out standby because of network changes.
We also have a 9200t which my wife uses for recording her soaps and had no lock ups or problems with that for months.

Am i the only 1 getting this popup after installing the new software if you are please post. when this goes OTA next month,i bet we see alot more posts about it if Humax dont fix it.

Assisted Retune Pop-up? What were the software engineers thinking putting this annoying and useless function onto a Humax recorder?

I have always loathed this function on Sagem boxes that use it.

It pops up every time you bring it out of standby regardless of the fact that there have been NO changes in the last 24 hours let alone the last 2 minuets and there is not even the option to disable it anywhare to be found!

EVERYONE that finds this new function annoying should be very vocal complaining to Humax to get it removed immediately!

Software for the 9150 OTA today :-

It won't be automatic, you'll have to go into Manual Update and select the UHF channel that your MUXB is on.

This is how Humax are getting over that there are no DTG slots left this month.

MuxB is on channel 67 Winter Hill - the one we are advised not to tune into............................

I don't think you have to tune your box into this mux (in the Manual Search for Channels), you just have to put that channel number in the Manual Update screen to find the update.

Les Barry says that post dso transmitter users may have to wait for the OTA or use the PC route

Thanks Graham, yes I've seen his edit to that post.

will tuning for this OTA manually on multiplex B be applicable to everyone?..I've just tried it for my 9300T from Sutton Coldfield and it found nothing..I'm a little bit of dunce to do the software update from a PC..probably bugger it all up knowing me..so I think I will wait for the OTA update!

It's only on MUXB for the 9150 at the moment, we are waiting to hear when the 9300 will be.

I also did the update last friday (20th) and so far no lock ups. previously I had had at least one each day.

However, I don't have the retune pop up and nor was I prompted to retune after loading the new software. Also my recording schedule and other system and AV settings were unchanged. It was almost as if the software had failed to load correctly but the system status correctly shows the software as 1.00.18 (12 Nov 2009).

I managed to update my 9300 on Friday thanks to Martin Liddle and his excellent little program.
WDN4OAK+.zip actually downloaded as "file" from Humax and when I renamed it and extracted it with Winzip the installation routine failed on Windows 7.
Although it seems to have cured the lock up problem, has anyone else noticed a sluggishness with their 9300 after the update?
Mine now seems slower to respond to all commands.
As for the cretin who thought of adding that bloody annoying popup - I'd like to shove a Hummy sideways up his a*se!

They won't change unless you perform the recommended Restore to Default Settings.

The action to fix the 9150/9300 lockups was most welcome and appears to have worked at least on my machine so far.

I also have a 9200 machine which can take anything up to 15 minutes to respond to the remote.

I appreciate the 9150/9300 problem was probably more serious especially as these are the latest models. However Humax are still selling the 9200, albeit Grade A and old stock/"Managers specials" from the Humaxdirect website. In view of them still selling them I believe they have a responsibility to correct the "remote response delay" bug and remain hopeful they will do so.
