HUMAX HDCI-2000 thread

[Llew]

No mistake, they changed them midday yesterday (bottom row). They were the ones I was referring to.

Just change them in your existing Pred.

Hi Llew, Before I read your reply I reloaded Pred and re-entered them as per the present info and it worked straight away. I am positive there was a mistake though, although I only have this hard copy print as proof! I did them yesterday morning, so could have been corrected immediately after. Anyway it's all working now so alls well that ends well etc :-) Cheers. Barry. Ps. Sorry about direct site ref. Didn't know.

[Llew]

OK Barry, I stand corrected if that's the case, as I wasn't aware of any earlier version , just downloaded the later one.

JKF seem on the ball with k*ys, that's where I usually end up at.

Happy viewing, Llew

I have bouhgt TF7700 last week and found it better than Humax HDCI-2000. Even SD channels are better now. Setup took hardly 10 minutes and its fantastic.

I dont like the look of the receiver and the remote's tiny keys otherwise it is brilliant.

[barrykap]

Hi good2talk.

Is the TF good at searching for new channels? I cannot recall if it has blind search or not, but if not, can you easily add a TP and search on it? The Humax at present will not save any user-defined entries incl new satellites. Does the TF have good user-define options?

Thanks

Cheers.

[good2talk]

There is no "Blind Search" but it gets all the channels when Auto Scanned including those missing in HDCI-2000. If you read my other threads you will find I had difficulties with Humax. TF7700 got all channels with minimum efforts. Adding new transponder is very easy; please look the image I have attached herewith.

[barrykap]

Thanks Good2talk.

Looks very easy. Presume they are in fact 'saved' OK,? As Humax indicates it DOES save what you enter but in actual fact doesn't!

I'll persevere til the next firmware update (if they issue one!) and see if it is improved before getting a TF.

Cheers.

Barry.

just got digitalb sports package using with conax cam. Premium 1-5 are just showing 'This channel is scrambled or not available'
The CI shows the card activated, spoke to the supplier who said it was a known problem with the HDCI2000 and Humax has sorted this out.
i can't see any reference to this problem on the humax site, does anyone know about this??

currently using firmware HDXSCI 1.00.07

[gandalfthegrey]

Hi B_o_B
Have you uploaded a recent channel list? if not it's probably a good idea to do so as the Humax has a tendancy to "hide" a lot of channels....also sometimes it takes a while for the chosen channel to actually appear on the screen..sometimes as much as 20>30 seconds in my case anyway.
cheers

i did a rescan for these channels earlier and found them o.k., i left it on one of the channels all day and it still shows the same, the promo channels are showing fine and even the movie channels are showing fine. it's just these HD sports channels i'm having the problem with.

[Box_o_Balls]

Just got off the phone to Humax tech support...

if you have a Humax HDCI you cannot currently watch Premium 1-5 channels from Digitalb, there is a problem with the datastream from Digitalb. Humax are working on the problem and hope to have a software fix within the next two weeks. They have already sent me their latest software but according to the engineers it's a bit hit and miss at the moment and can actually force you to reset your receiver back to default. Make sure you have all your prestored channel lists saved to a pc first so you can easily restore.
i will post further news here unless someone beats me to it

[framas]

Box, can you try this:

Thanks

[Box_o_Balls]

i just got a beta release from Humax and it works.

looks like your file is the same beta release but it has been renamed on the 'pl' site for some reason.

your version is probably o.k. but i sent it to Humax enginneers to see what differences (if any) there are because they say the file was renamed and that usually means more changes have been made?

will get an answer in a couple of days. at least it's working now saved me a few bucks on a new box.

have installed your version? does it work also?

[framas]

Box, can you send me your beta version?

[johnsattuk]

Hi Box

Would very much like a copy also, if you feel able to oblige

[framas]

I've a scan problem and need help to add more than one sat.

My configuration:
- Dish 1 (1.20m) - LNB One (Diseq A) - Astra 19.2E (96% quality)
- Dish 1 (1.20m) - LNB Two (Diseq B) - Hotbird 13E (82% quality)
- Dish 1 (1.20m) - LNB Three (Diseq D) - Eutelsat W2 16E (62% quality)
- Dish 2 (40cm) - Only one LNB (Diseq C) - Hispasat 30W ((87% quality)

I do the following:
- reset to default settings
- add astra to diseqA
- add hotbird to diseqB
- add hispasat to diseqC
- add eutelsat W2 to diseqD
- scan

Now, the system only find hispasat channels.

Another error is: I've signal in sirius sat, but if I do a scan in this sat I only see the same hispasat channels. Very strange.

Mybe my system have a wrong channel list. What I made wrong?

Where I find an updated channel list?

Thanks

[Llew]

Which channel list are you using now? Check the Diseqc allocation in the list to make sure you have the correct Diseqcs matching your satellites.

Llew

[framas]

I match manually the satellites and the problem is the same.

Llew, can you send me your fdf file?

Thanks

[Llew]

This is one I modified from a Bigman fixed dish list. Four LNBs, one for a motorised dish -

[framas]

Thanks, but I experiense the same problem.

[Llew]

Maybe your Diseqc switch is not working and defaulting to diseqc A (Astra) and you are finding Astra channels using the same TP frequencies as those on Hispasat.

This would explain why you get a quality signal on Sirius, which also has similar frequencies on some TP's to Astra, even though you don't have Sirius on your Diseqc switch.

Llew

[framas]

Llew, last wednesday I bougth a new diseqc 2.0 (teka 290402) but the problem is the same.

Mybe my problem is the HDCI 2000 tuner. What you think?

Many many thanks

[Llew]

Well framas, it does seem like your Humax is either not sending the switching signals to the switch, or your switch isn't receiving them. How far away is your Diseqc switch from your Humax?

Llew

[framas]

Approximately 130 ft (40m)

[Llew]

On any channels you can receive, can your receiver switch the LNB between high and low transponders? (any channel over 11.7GHz). Just to confirm that you're sending the basic 22kHz signal to the LNB.
