Have I missed something here? On switching on my Humax tonight I was offered a software update to v1.01.16. (I thought it was OTA but there is nothing listed on the DTG website).
Can anyone tell me what changes/improvements this makes please?

The release note on the Humax Digital site state:
“Reboot issue when changing the broadcast CH from IP CH is fixed”
This means that you can now switch from one of the IP channels in the 25-299 range to an aerial sourced channel without it crashing.
The software is also available for download from http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/products/product_releases.php?gid=442&pid=6
Thanks.
This update appears to have broken my HDR2000T. It now only responds to the remote very intermittently, I’m having to keep hitting the buttons repeatedly to get anywhere.
It’s definitely not the remote, because it does the same thing on my Harmony, and I’ve swapped the batteries.
Is there a link to the previous version so that I can factory reset and update to the previous via USB?

Have you tried a factory reset anyway ?
Well this is embarrassing…
Factory reset didn’t downgrade the firmware and didn’t fix the problem either. But then I spotted that the Roomba was off its perch, and the IR navigation beacon was active. Covered the beacon and the problem cleared up instantly, so it was just a simple case of our IR crosstalk. Doh!
Typical that this happens for the very first time just after a system update!
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Ive had the same problems as you, but don’t know what a Roomba is either on or off its perch or an IR navigation beacon. I still have the problems, any ideas?
It’s a robot vacuum cleaner, it uses infrared signals from a base station to find where it is. When the base station is on and sending out infrared signals the humax gets confused and can’t make out the signal from the remote, because there’s so much noise.
Check to see if you’ve got any electronics nearby that could be using infrared signals: turns things off and cover things up to confirm.
Failing that, one of my previous pvrs was very fussy about having the remote pointed directly at it, at a very straight angle, before it would work reliably.
I’ve just checked your other posts. When I was having problems the buttons on the front were working perfectly, so I don’t think it’s the same issue.
Software Details & Release Notes
– Application version : UKTFAC 1.01.16
Release Notes:
-. Reboot issue when changing the broadcast CH from IP CH is fixed
This issue has never happened to me except now that I have updated! My box just rebooted after doing exactly what the release notes claim to fix.
Hi
Is the software update for the 500GB HDR2000T the same as for the 1TB version?
From http://www.humaxdigital.com, the 500GB hdf file is downloadable (http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/products/product_releases.php?gid=442&pid=6), but the 1TB hdf file is not accessible (http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/products/product_releases.php?gid=479&pid=6)
I have the 1TB version so reluctant to use the download from the 500GB page.
I’ve just bought this PVR and when connected to the internet, it updated to Application version : UKTFAC 1.01.16 (12/08/2015) but it did not update the Loader version from 1.02 to 1.04). Is the Loader Version important/beneficial? i.e. should I even bother doing a manual update from USB using the hdf file?
Thanks
Welcome to our Forum
Software is the same for all variants.
As for loader, if your unit is performing as expected then no need.
Thanks Barry, but I don’t know what “as expected” means yet! What is the “Loader”? Thnx

What is the “Loader”?
The Loader is the first piece of software that runs when the box boots up. Its main job is to load the main operating system but it also handles software updates via USB stick. Once the box has started the loader has finished its job.
Thanks Martin. So if the box starts, then the loader’s done it’s job and it’s no longer important. No need to worry about upgrading to 2.04 then. (?) Thanks
