I have been eagerly awaiting the OTA update for the Foxsat HDR... However, I cannot work out if I have already received it.

Software version seems right - 1.00.15, but Loader is U.7.52 - Humax website suggests I should be on .53 Loader.

To update the loader, do I just put the file into SD root and follow normal proceedure?

Indeed,
The loader can only be updated from a USB flash memory stick.

Works best with low capacity ones e.g. 1Gb

BTW, .54 is also on there beta site

Yes....

File name should be “FOXSAT-HDR_upgrade.hdf” and copy this file to a root folder of the USB stick to upgrade.

753 makes fixes for dish control for non freesat mode.

*U7.54 has been released to support changes in the production process. If you are currently on U7.53 there is no requirement to upgrade the Loader version as there will not be any changes/improvements.
