Looking on the Humax Beta site there apears to be new software added but looking at the version number it looks like its an earlier version!

__http://beta.humaxonline.co.uk/freesat-hd

Shows version 1.00.12

Where update of 14th Jan last year (below)shows version 1.00.13

Any ideas?
 
Only two.

They've made a mistake and uploaded an earlier version.
They've made a mistake and uploaded a later version but numbered it wrongly.
 
Thats what I thought, or maybe its done so you can easily wipe it over with the stable release with a over the air download if there is a problem.

I haven´t got the nerve to load it.
 
Me neither! :-rofl2
 
Well thought I would take the plunge. It is software and loader combined. After loading new software got Humax Screen showing Factory Loader U7.50 (U7.53 is the latest), then I got the message there are no channels, but every time I tried to tune I got a green screen (via HDMI).

So I would advise not downloading this software.

I have managed to write the previous software back to the box, but whatever I try I am stuck with the Factory Loader U7.50. Bugger I have f**ked up!

Any ideas how to reload loader 7.53?
 
Well now we know what the right answer is!:-rofl2

It's well hidden on the Humax site but both S/W 1.00.13 and loader U7.53 are here-

No I tried to re write the loader U7.53 last night. It says successful (very quickly) but when you boot up again (after mains switch off) it still is Factory Loader 7.50.
Bugger!

Don´t download this Beta Software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
 
PaulR, do you have an old copy of Loader 7.53, just in case the one one the website is now 7.50 incorrectly labelled as 7.53? (can´t see any other reason why a new software version wouldn´t write over an old one).

Cheers
 
I downloaded this on the 16th December so it's a month old.

You could also try going back to the false beta version and update the loader U7.53 before the latest application S/W.

Also, try switching off at the mains and doing a cold reboot.

Pual, as I posted above tried cold reboot. Also this "other software" on the Humax Beta site is software and loader combined in one download. Tried your software and still on 7.50. So if it updated your machine ok to 7.53 then there must be something strange about the Factory Loader. Will email Humax and see if they can shed any light.
 
My experience is that they're very poor on answering emails and I had to phone them when I wanted to make contact. Make sure you tell them about the beta S/W site and see if they have any control over it.

Good luck.
 
Well I have given them the whole sorry saga. I hope they do read their emails, as it helps them as if that software was released there would be alot of unhappy people with green screens via HDMI who didn´t have green screens before. So I have a working Foxsat via scart but not HDMI. That will teach me to be impatient. Its only been a year since the last update!

No, its not an angry email. Its Beta software and I took a gamble (won´t do that again), just hope they can give a solution. Will give them a few days then contact Mr North.

Thanks CH.
 
Which must prove they've read your email. Have they been back in touch with you yet - if only to acknowledge receipt?
