For several months a group of Dutch satellite hobbyists ("Humax 2000 team") had been developing a patch for the Humax IRCI-5400 receivers, which would convert the Irdeto embedded CAM into an AllCAM capable of decoding the German Premiere-World Betacrypt channels (including BBC-Prime, by the way).
This was ready a few weeks ago but the developers decided they wanted to sell it (ostensibly to recover their costs). A few Dutch and German satellite dealers have since been selling the upgrade (applied by them) for about Euro 75.
Other hobbyists in the Netherlands have now extracted the patch from an updated receiver and made it available for free download.
Here are various different firmware versions with the patch already applied:

Please note that the patch only works with original German & Austrian "C-card" MOSCs, or with Voyager in "Betacrypt" mode.
If you want to use it with a wafer, then it must be an Amtel (funcard) type and you will need to load a special version of the wafer firmware too.
Here's a link to that:

Standard Humax information (English) on how to load the firmware:

You may/will also encounter checksum errors in the hdf file.
If so. use this special fixer (run for instructions)
