    Hi

    Hoping for some advice. I have just purchased a Foxsat HDR. When I got it it started up fine. I decided to start afresh so did a factory reset from the menu.

    The device is now stuck in the same loop. It enters boot then starts the wizard. I can get past past the post code check and starts to scam for channel but then ‘re boots and goes through the same! I hate to think I bought a dud any advice welcome!

    1. Try a cold restart (turn off power 10 mins) and restart.

    2. Power off for 10 mins and then open unit and disconnect hard-disk SATA and power connectors. If boots try and complete scan and then power down for another 10 min, reconnect Hard-disk and reboot. Format Hard-disk.

    No such luck. It still does the same loop with the HDD unplugged.

    It will go through the following settings.

    1. User Settings

    2. Freesat detection – signal on both LNB detected and no software found

    3. Postcode – locates and says England HD

    4. Search channels – nothing happens then reboots after about 10secs

    When it starts it says u7.51 is there an firmware update I can do from USB?

    Try flashing the latest custom firmware from here:

    https://www.avforums.com/threads/media-file-server-bundle-for-the-foxsat-hdr-release-4-part-6.2024876/

    It contains the stock Humax firmware and some extra’s.

    Reconnect the Hard-disk first.

    From memory to flash:

    1. Extract software to root on USB stick. Don’t change the name.

    2. Put unit in standby for a few mins. Inset stick. Hold down button on unit and press power.
