Is this update actually coming or has everyone forgotten about it?

You can upgrade it yourself, I put a 1tb Samsung eco drive in mine, works a treat and LOADSASPACE! Doesn’t take more than 1tb apparently.

As pleased as i am to see these software updates, I would love Humax to upgrade this current model to a larger HDD, i.e. 500 GB, as one cannot archive content form the HDD ( as far as i’m aware). HD programmes would soon fill the alloted the 320 GB space!

Apparently so! Users can also download it from Humax’s support site as of this point in time too: http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/support/downloadcenter_model.aspx?category_seq=65

Thanks for the reply.

BGJr, according to respected member Barry at hummy.org.uk the new version number is HPRSFCI 1.00.11 and will be available for the general public to download over the air manually from the receiver, from 4pm 10th November (those who know about it). For everyone else, the machine should automatically download and intall the new version unattended at 3am 11th November. The DTG and Humax websites will update accordingly with official information like the OTA timetable, release notes and a downloadable version, in due course.

Does anyone know what version of the firmware will contain iPlayer support? Humax’s website has version 1.00.03 available currently, but doesn’t give a release date for that version. I also notice that the broadcast for this version is ending today on the DTG OTA firmware downloads service, with (currently) no mention of the new firmware.

We’ve only had our FoxSat HDR a month or so. Mainly so we could watch ITV1 for things STV aren’t showing. Midsommer Murders etc.

One thing I really miss from our PVR 9200 is the ability to go back and record something you’ve timeshifted/paused. The original 9200 didn’t let you do this, but it was fixed in an update. It’s a pity they couldn’t add this feature to this update too.

We spoke to Humax support on Friday and were told us the same about the over the air update this month. Although they did warn the DTG may schedule the update at the end of the month.

With members of the public getting the new software to trial BBC iplayer from tomorrow, Humax should make it available for download on their website and well before the over the air update. Otherwise the software will go on file sharing websites and you won’t know if it will contain a virus or malicious code…

The above list (firmware) itself looks great. Well done Humax.

We are on the public iplayer trials and are told to expect software by Tuesday the 10th November. Exciting Nice to know about all these other changes.
