Can anyone clarify how to reload the Firmware onto an HB-1000s Freesat box?
I’ve extracted and copied the file (“hb1000s_upgrade.hdf”) onto three different Fat32 USB sticks, but none are recognised by the re-installation process.
The Humax web-site says “Press and hold the Channel DOWN button/arrow on your set top box and at the same time switch it back on at the mains.”
But the set top box has no channel buttons. Holding the Channel DOWN button on the Remote Control has no effect.
I want to reinstall earlier firmware temporarily because of a number of strange issues, including the remote control “not working” until the HDD is removed.
I’m aware that is a known issue, but it’s not the only one I’ve observed, so want to go back to basics to rule out corruption of the code.
(The box already runs V3.00.31 from March 16, so can’t force an upgrade that way).
Thanks
Problem solved!!
The installation instructions should say…
“Press and hold the STANDBY button on your set top box and at the same time switch it back on at the mains.”
For some reason this repeatedly failed when installing from a 16GB USB stick, but worked when same file was loaded via an older 2GB version.
“Ours not to reason why” – but hopefully this info will be of use to someone
