Using a null modem cable, I think it's a question of keep trying and being patient! Although I am running out of that, I have some time available on Friday possibly so may give it another go then, thanks guys for the help.

Yup, it's the same cable I used to upload the Laurals channel list to the Humax a couple of months ago. I made the mistake of using a gender changer the first time i tried to update the software and learnt the hard way! This is what's annoying me, it's exactly the same setup that I have used...

Same result I'm afraid, I don't understand this, I've noticed a couple of people have successfully updated v16 from either hotbird or astra, after trying many times over the last month I have been unsuccessful so I thought I'd be safe doing it by connecting to my PC....how wrong I was! As I...

At long last I've found the time to dismantle so I can do the software upgrade and add ITV HD to my channel list.........now I can't get the PC and STB to talk. This is driving me bonkers!!! Last time I connected them up was to upload a channel list from Laurals and worked perfectly, nothings...

Cheers,I'll have a look at that, that would save me a lot of faffing, just gotta find the time to disconnect everything now!

Many thanks Llew for your help, just got to find the time to dismantle it all now!

Thanks LLew, I have a channel list that has the ITV HD entry in it so it looks like I can kill 2 birds with one stone whilst I have it all apart! Do you know of any way of updating your channel list without mucking up your favourites list? Cheers

I didn't fancy dismantling half my setup so I could get my box near the PC! On one of the previous posts it said you can do the update using Astra 1, I tried a manual update inputting all the info from the Humax site and still no luck???? Oh well looks like I'm gonna have to spend an afternoon...

Hi, I tried last night to do an auto update and got a "no new update" message?? Can anybody help or have any suggestions, I tried a number of times and even tried selecting manual update and selecting Astra 1 in the sat menu all with the same results.

I forgot to mention that I have had the humax for over a year and have had no problems, sure there may be a few quirks with it especially with the menus but overall I'm very pleased with it and it's performance. I think saying you're wasting your money on this receiver is a bit OTT. My advice is...

I'm sorry but I don't agree that the picture quality is crap via hdmi, although there have have been plenty of posts stating this. I have a 42" Panasonic plasma and picture quality through hdmi has been stunning viewing BBC HD, Discovery HD, Prem**** HD, Luxe TV HD and the HD Astra feeds.

I had a similar problem, turned out to be that I left my cam in, apparently the cam slots must be free to perform a software update, hope this helps.

Llew Try pressing the opt+ button to select audio language and then selecting a language that isn't broadcasting any sound, ok this and the english soundtrack will come through after a couple of seconds, if it doesn't try going up a channel and then going back, this one had me foxed for a while...
