I see that the DTG schedule fo OTA updates has the updates for both the Humax HD and the HDR ending tomorrow (2nd Dec). Does this mean another update about to hit the airwaves?

The updated schedule was posted at 12:35 today, so very short notice, which must mean something.

Just checked and its showing new firmware of 1.00.12 (HDR) and 1.00.24 (HD) being broadcast from tomorrow

Edit: I mean today - it's late I'm off to bed

There is.

It looks like its only to hide the slapper channels. Nothing else.

I personally hope it reverts the screen format control back to how it was prior to the November release.

That should never have been altered, it worked.

It is only the Adult Genre Parental Control.

Rgds.


Les.

I'm wish Humax read the feedback on these forums.

Comment from Bob_Cat

I must have missed that comment from Bob.

I saw others had performed a factory reset, with no positive result for this problem.

Hence I have not, plus I have lots of recordings scheduled (well the family have) and don't fancy setting them all again, in case I miss one.

I did phone Humax customer support about it, they were little or no help at all, said they would send me the old firmware by email, which as you may guess never arrived.

version 1.00.12 availble OTA now

Bob was posting on the Join Freesat site.

firmware upgrade was working fine for me. could indeed only find the adult setting as a new feature.

Doesn't seem to work for me...

I get "no new software found"- just checked and I am still on 0.11

your not the first to say this, though on one thread there appears to have on person who could and another who couldn't. Have a couple of attempts at it, see how you fair.

I did it this morning and it found it and updated it OK

Did you select Manual or Automatic update? It didn't work for me with Manual, but Automatic works.

It should get updated overnight if you do nothing. Or just use the Automatic update selection.

To use the Manual option you have to enter the Satellite, transponder etc. according to the instruction manual

You wait for 11 months and then two updates come along at once!

I think the update is to allow us to disable the adult channels, not enable them, as Bob_Cat seems to think!

I think that is down to how you interpret my phrase "support", the support in this case facilitates their launch by providing an option to hide the channels. Had I used the phrase "enable" it might have been more ambiguous but "support" is sufficient in this context. "Support" is a logistical phrase which does not imply the function of turning them on but only merely to act as a legal/legislative/moral aid to their launch.

Without the option to hide these channels there would have been a great deal of concern from consumers, but equally if we had put out and update that disabled them by default there would have been concerns from the broadcasters.

Sometimes Bob you just can't win.

Ooops. I see what you did there !!!

The Jesuits would be proud.
