Can anyone confirm of they have had a software or firmware update recently? I was expecting something around 16/1 but nothing happened, tried searching for one etc. Any news?

Nothing yet Laz but you can keep track here http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/suppo...port_intro.asp

Out of interest, Lazarou, why were you expecting one on 16/1? It hasn't been announced anywhere has it?

We have not yet announced any dates for updates. Only ambitions, when we have something interesting and firm we will make an announcement.

nooooo, don't keep us waiting!!!

I have had my HDR since the start of January with loader U7.51 and the latest is U7.52. My daughter's HDR was purchased during December as an Xmas present and when it was first turned on it found new software which updated hers to U7.52. Was this a one off OTA update that was sent on 22nd December for a few days?

Shirley, you're mistaken! The U7.51/U7.52 is the loader firmware. The actual and latest (operating) software is v1.00.02. See: http://foxsat-hdr.wikispaces.com/fil...ystem_diag.jpg

I am positive that Humax have never sent loader firmware OTA so how you got U7.52 on your box is not via OTA. Maybe they installed this loader at the factory!

Thanks for the update Bob_Cat. We're all eager but will be patient.

This is a forum, patient people generally don't bother with them

I saw something on both this and the Hummy forum talking about that date for an OTA update.

Fair comment Sweedish. We're not patient. We want a date & we want it NOW!!!!!!

E-mailed HUMAX and got this:

"Dear Sir,

At the moment we are not broadcasting the Update for the HDR, but we should be putting it OTA soon but we haven’t got an exact date.


Kind Regards
Humax Support!"

Actually, that sounds to me, like it should be available on the webset (as the freeviews one were released initially) but not available FTA as yet.

I sent an e-mail asking about the broken download on there site. But now the software has been taken off the site.

For those of you who've not seen this, check out the awesome features at the heart of this beauty.

Link doesnt work fella.

A search for bcm403 reveals...

...that was bcm7403 of course!

The DivX support I'm very interested in! WOuld be great to be able to play DivX's from the USB socket or even better over the network. Can't see this ever happening though as there's nothing in it for Freesat.

Product brief is here:

Uploader 7.52 is available for download on the Humax Support site.

Its partnered with the 1.00.02 firmware.

I saw a post saying they contacted Humax and an update is due within 13 days now.

I have no idea how reliable that info is.

Sorry about my poor link guys, but thanks mwardy for the correct link.
I'm still finding my feet posting so please bear with me.

Thanks

Loader 7.52 link here:

I'm presuming this isn't a typo.

The links gone again LOL.

Loader 7.52 has been on the site for a while and fixed the issue with single lnb stup's not updating the firmware. it only matters if you have one feed. If you have 2 then 7.51 will be fine.

Roumours of the next update seem somewhat exagerated for the moment sadly. We will just have to continue to bide our time

Unless of course, Bob_Cat knows differently
