Hi Barry..

I have downloaded HDXSC110008 too. Will upload to HD2000 later.
If its not as good as 1.07, I will go back to 1.07.
Hope it brighten up the HDMI Picture on the LCD.
The scarts picture is spot on, but the HDMI picture is to Dark.

Thanks Nautivado. Must have been my browser problems. Now I have the file I am a bit apprehensive about installing it now :-) Maybe will wait until I hear if others have successfully upgraded it first. So if any bravehearts have done so, did you find any problems?

Try your registration at www.humaxdigital.com and wait a few weeks or less for an official firmware.

I think Bigfoot´s right but ...

Hi All, Barry, Nauti..

Loaded 1.08 into HD2000.
First impressions are its an improvment over 1.07.
HDMI not as dark in 1.08.
The HDMI (AV4) picture is a lot sharper even when receiving
a 576i transmission also the INFOs writing is a lot sharper over
that of the RGB Scart connection.
On the 1.07 picture sharpness on the HDMI & RGB scart
were the same.
Diablo Cam compatible with 1.08 (Prem and D+ spot ON).

Just loaded 1.08 onto my HD2000, which I mainly use for HD stuff.
Initial impressions are that the contrast is up and the picture generally is improved. :)
I use YUV from all my inputs through a matrix switch, and 1.07 HDMI did not seem as good as the YUV and also had a flutter on the image.

Using 1.08 the picture quality seems the same on YUV and HDMI, I do however still have a small flutter, though I think it is less. The flutter may well be due to earthing problems or the 5mtr HDMI cable to my PJ, I have'nt investigated since I don't use it.

And here was me, hoping against hope the upgrade was to improve the user-defined savings, menu options and more accurate motor-control. Not sure I will install it then, if it is just improvements to picture as to mind mind, the picture quality was excellent before (I use HDMI).

Hi den123.

Download the WDN40OAK+ uploading software from the HUMAX site, connect a null modem cable to your STB from your PC's COM port, select the 1.08 hdf file and start the uploader with your STB switched off at the mains.

Switch your STB back on and it will begin the download.

Probably the going rate for that combo, no harm in trying for a bid.

Will be fine for the Humax, as for opening that or any other provider, as usual depends on the current situation regarding key availability.

I was also looking at getting a Cam that would maybe unlock more HD channels, but I have no experience of Cams and keys etc. Could someone tell me which Cam is best for the HDCI-2000 and what I would need to do to be able to update it? Probably questions asked many times, but maybe the situation and availability of Cams has changed since then. Thanks.

As with the answer to zoomer, a Dragon/TRex is suitable, or you could use a Diablo CAM. In both cases, a Duolabs CAS3 programmer will meet your needs for programming these CAMS. Information on programming them comes with the Duolab, or have a look in the Cards, Programmers and Cams section of this forum for tips.

Thanks Llew. What puzzles me though is what sort of encryption is handled by the various different Cams mentioned. eg; Can they all handle Viaccess2, Irdeto2, Conax etc? Or are some specialising to one type or a few types? Sorry if these are questions in the Cam section but I wouldn't really want to wade through them all. I am really only interested in Cams that would be able to pull in HD channels, not the s_x ones that seem to be prevailant when people use Cams.

The two popular multicams (Dragon/TRex and Diablo) will open P*remiere HD, but you would need a valid subscription card for other providers when using these CAMS.

There are several FTA HD channels available on the various satellites, check

_http://en.kingofsat.net/hdtv.php

for those presently transmitting.

Thanks again Llew. I already have all or most of the FTA HD channels tuned in. I think the total at the moment is about 15. But about 80% of these are pure demo content. Only the Proseiben and Sat1 German channels carry normal programmes and these tend to be SD content transmitted in HD. As I mentioned I am not into Cams, but would like to ask; If I got a T-Rex or Diablo, how could I get a legal viewing card for a good quality HD service provider? (maybe German or French) I have not seen any advertised in Wotsat except for the hard s_x channels. Do I need to contact them direct? Would they sell me one in this country? Cheers. Barry.

I don't think they'll sell direct to the UK unless you are a foreign national with an address in that country.

Some UK card suppliers do offer these cards at an exhorbitant price though.

Give it a try, you never know what might come up there Barry. Be careful though, plenty of sharks out there ready to trouser your hard-earned cash 'O'

Against my better sense I installed the latest firmware 1.08 the other day. While it still does not allow saving of TP's and sats etc it now seems to have caused loss of HD channels! Unless the ones I am trying are off air. I can get the Astra Demo HD-01 OK on Astra 19E but the three German channels are now missing. I get good signal/quality strength but just a blank picture. This are Proseiben, sat1 and Anixe. Similaly The Demo HD channel on Hispasat is now unobtainable. Not tried the rest yet. Is this something others have found after upgrading to 1.08? If so I will revert back to Version 1.07 Regards, Barry
