New Firmware Foxsat-HDR expected soon?
Hi, the latest firmware is now almost 3 months old (10-Nov)! Is there any news with regards to releasing a new firmware update for the foxsat-HDR?
There have been so many small/big bugs reported, as well as many improvement requests. I think I can speak for most that we are eagerly awaiting news on an update and some of the annoyances being resolved for this great piece of kit. Cheers, Wouter |

No news, so probably not.
Are there any bugs that are so serious (with no work around) that you can't live with..? As for feature requests... you'll be lucky... |

yes, the main annoyances that should be easily fixable:
[LIST][*]able to delete recordings while watching another one, or while recording other shows.[*]able to delete recordings in the back-ground[*]while checking the EPG, keep the existing channel play (i.e. use the second tuner for the EPG when not in use). Therefore only use the first tuner for the EPG when second is used or not available[*]only create folders for 2 or more recordings. option not to use folders in the first place[*]schedule: move the scheduled recordings to the bottom, when the next episode is no longer available (instead of at the top of the screen, so you are forced to remove it, or scroll down pages before able to check what will be recorded today)[/LIST] These are my main annoyances that can be easily fixed with a firmware.

I'm actually not too sure if they are listening I think they are too busy working on the iPlayer, rather than fulfilling people's requests: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...d.php?t=897932Quote:

Oh, well you will have to live with them for a while. Your annoyances are not going to stop the box from working, are they?
Not had one for a while though but thats probably because i avoid pressing too many buttons on the remote while recording 2 programs, which seems to be the main cause. |

I suspect the lock ups while recording two programmes at once might be your (and the two others with the same problem) box, rather than all HDRs (i.e. it is not a fault/bug in the firmware)...
My box, certainly, does not exhibit this problem and it has done a lot of simultaneous recordings with watching another channel or playback at the same time. If your box carries on like this, then you should consider returning it or swapping it out at your retailer... |

I record Eggheads (for my wife) and In the Night Garden (for my grandson) simultaneously every evening at 6:00 and we have no problem watching other channels or viewing recordings at the same time.

Maybe.

For the most part i have no problems either but occasionally when recording 2 programmes and pressing lots of buttons on the remote it locks up.
"dont press lots of buttons" i here people say !!! If you can make your box lockup during simultaneous recordings repeated with a combination of button presses, and someone else can repeat this on a different box, then maybe it is a bug that you can report to Humax for fixing... (and then read post #2 )
