When there's a cry in the wilderness, a good Samaritan usually arrives to save the day. A Samaritan called "Jack" Yes the iCord does have USB slots front & rear, quite a fancy bit of kit really. Pendrive = Memory stick I presume? yes one was used for comparing/ doing the update. Cheers, happy...

Thank you Captain Jack for visiting me & sorting that problem out for me. You made everything seem so simple, such a talent. You're welcome here for "a cuppa" anytime:) Cheers

Thanks, you have PM

Hi Captain Jack, you certainly are only just up the road from me, so to speak. It would be great if you could get me sorted out some time. How can we get together at a time that suits you? I'm a fairly "free agent" time-wise. Cheers

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply, unfortunately I still remain clueless about what I am supposed to do with that information. I guess its time for me to admit defeat & that this satellite stuff is just too complicated for me. All I want to do is watch German Telly without having to take a course...

Hi I was sent this information from Humax but I am absolutely clueless as to what I should do with it. Just why do people expect others to be computer wise? If you visit _http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/support/downloadcenter_model.aspx?category_seq=49 it will give full instructions on how to...

Well I haven't had really enough time to browse that site but it does appear to cater more or less for the Freesat receivers rather than my Humax iCord. Yes the good old Topfield is plugged back in & ready to get the DTM Motor racing on Germany's ARD channel this afternoon. Trouble is that the...

Hi, yes I'm back sobbing again. After several days of intermittent problem free use it would appear that the problem has re-occurred. Today I checked things out in preparation to watching the DTM Motor racing on the German ARD channel. It switched on OK but after a short while I could not...

Thanks Channel Hopper, this sounds like a similar problem which started with the EPG download display as mine did. However my iCord appears to have gone a few steps too far as it does not respond to anything now. I can't even switch it on so an attempt to carry out the described corrective...

Hi Captain Jack, one of my thoughts was that the LNB may have been faulty, so the guy who installed it for me came to check it out & also check the dish alignment. He gave everything there the thumbs up for the princely fee of £30 Yes the Topfield is showing very good strength & quality & yes...

Hi there, It's an age since I posted on here; the main reason being for my move from southern Germany to the West Country in GB. Since I've had my Humax it has actually been very rarely used. In Germany it was set up to get programs from GB & it was actually bought in a panic because my GB...

Many thanks for your informative reply, you've been a great help. Cheers John

I have a Samsung & although it's 2nd hand it is fairly recent & has a scart connection so your suggestion will work in real time. Thanks I'd totally forgotten about that alternative. However I was hoping there might be a quick download method. I guess that you have experience of recording by the...

Thanks for the rapid responses, much appreciated. I'll give it a tray later but must admit to being unsure as the present card had to be paired to my Sky+HD Box by Sky & my old Card was paired to my non- +HD Box. Nevertheless I'll see what happens without Cards & the old Card. But I'm now...

Oh this is complicated & will take some explanation. Yes my new card is the same as the old one but. My card is one of two paid for by a friend in UK who has a Home +HD Box & a Holiday Home (mine) +HD Box He had his new +HD Box delivered & installed & his existing Card was upgraded & or working...
