My Humax HDR-1010S has Died!
It will not fully boot and just keeps looping back to 'starting'.
The hard drive keeps cycling and grinding away.
Took the cover off, nothing obvious on the circuit boards.
Is it likely to be hard drive failure or other fault?
I had it replaced some years ago by John...
Newbie posts are all moderated, which I can see as sensible only if you have a big spambot problem.
You are also unable to update your profile. Must be a right pain monitoring your forum 24hours
to that extent.
Thank You Briagw
I did not see your reply immediately as we were posting around the same time.
I did join the other forum but appear to currently be in the same position as our new members in the other thread. Low post counts restrict my download of the file. Its a shame its not available to...
Thank you for your replies, I suspected as much.
I personally have had no problems with this box.
I take it that this will be a similar situation for any replacement for the Passion, and is common to all manufacturers.
Its a shame that there is not a basic firmware for all models?
I see there have been no Passion (not +) updates since October 2010
Does that mean that Forec will not be releasing any more?
Is there anywhere else that updated software can be downloaded?
I have the original Fortec Star Passion.
When you switch on at the receiver, there is a delay before it starts to show channels.
First you get the
Fortec Star HD screen
Then a clock screen with the following message.
Updating Data...
this process may take up to 2 minutes

Thanks Danit
I deleted TP's from some eastern most satellites, and now get a full scan.
I had to delete the TP's individually.
Is there a way to delete them faster
or to delete satellites which I will never pick up?
Somehow my reply of yesterday did not go?
I did delete all the channels, and it stated no channels found.
I then set factory defaults, then it showed channels even before 28e scanned.
Is there any way to do a full reset?
I have the original Passion.
It wont complete a search.
I deleted all the channels then it would do a full search.
Once that search was completed, I tried a search again.
It stops at 22% on 11307/H/27500 (Astra 28)
Anyone have an answer for this?
I saw this advertised, and thought I would post for those who were looking for an entry level system. I started with the equivilent Silvercrest SL65 system.
Surprised that there was no mention of its pending sale this weekend, posted this for comments.
Despite the weight, even I would never...
Any comments on this Tevion system?

Not used the Passion for quite a while due to dish problems.
Now bought a new dish, and set the motor up again.
I notice that the first Astra transponder on the list (10714 H 2200) gives no signal? No wonder I could not find 28e?
Anyway the firmware/loader is up to date from Fortec site.
I...
Then If I switch to 1.2, Set the motor to 0.4e (or is it 0.8w) as I am 1.2w.
Turn the motor on the pole and elevate dish to peak Thor.
All other satelites should be picked up on the arc?
