All links to the HD-FOX T2 have gone as well, although the HDR-FOX T2 is still there. Even the beta site only shows a new upgrade for the HDR. I can't even register the HD-FOX T2 with the Humax TV Portal, as the registration code option disappeared. I guess that model has also been discontinued.
No more support from Humax.

Im pretty sure I've read it somewhere a long time ago.
Also the fact that the 9200T was never designed to do what it ended up being able to do when Freeview Playback came along.
And the only reason the 9200T ended up being able to store the EPG to the HHD was because it was being pushed to its limits and it couldn't cope with loading up a full weeks EPG data everytime you took it out of standby.
Saying that though, in 7 years I never really had any major problems with it.

More the 8000 era actually. I remember the reviews for the 8000 saying it was more or less an F2-FOX T with a hard disk bolted on.

This is great if we get the fixes.
Thanks Martin.

Bought mine in June 2008 so not quite 5 years old. I have not major problems either, just this annoying problem with missed recordings and schedules vanishing.
Hi All,
I asked Humax if they would consider releasing the software as open source and this is the reply I got.
At least it's not no (yet).

I have to agree. Mine has worked, but not flawlessly over the few years. There are now plenty of other alternatives around from established makers.

Have we got any more news on this yet?

I suspect that we would need to start by getting as many people as possible to request via email to cs@humaxonline.co.uk that the software is released as open source.

Might it be prudent to get some developers lined up before starting to campaign seriously?

I agree, but in order to do this we need to know what language it is written in and what hardware resources would be required.
