The last release was about 12 years ago and it doesn’t appear to be available from official sources.
Links to personal archive copies do get posted up from time to time, for example
https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/humax-foxsat-hdr-2
I don’t have a MS sign in so can’t check if it is still there if not, let us know.
It’s not there any more – any other clues, please?
Hi egrarobar,
Hopefully link provided will help you.
Please let me know if this worked for you. John L

Might also need link to firmware. I think dropbox only linked to first part, which was the instructions.

The dropbox free access only lasts 30 days, so if anyone wants to copy file, it should hopefully be there.
My free Dropbox has been in use for years. If you register at https://www.dropbox.com/en_GB/basic then I think there is no 30 day limit but limit of 2GB of stored data.

Thank you Martin. I will take a look. John L
Thanks everyone for your help. I have copied the file and instructions to my own Dropbox folder. I trust this will work. Good teamwork!
Thanks very much again – it’s great to be able to ask and get a clear answer.
Not like most places nowadays… But forums are brilliant for this kind of thing.
And yes, Dropbox will not disappear in 30 days.

jdlfreetime’s will I suspect cease to function after 30 days as he probably took a trial version of one of the plans that has a cost attached. I agree that the basic plan should survive, although Dropbox will try and persuade you to move to a version that makes the money.
Hi egarobar,
I set up the temporary Dropbox account to help you to be able to access firmware. Hopefully you have received it ok. I don’t need dropbox myself, and not going to pay for subscription/enroll any further. Hopefully the forum admin can save file for other users permanently on this forum site, but if not, then users will have to search around for another user & request again once 30 days is up if firmware is needed.

Hi again,
I installed the custom firmware, no probs, very pleased.
Raydon’s instructions say fix-disk will call e2cfsk and so on – but I find it hangs up on the 3rd partition as follows:
Now checking partition /dev/hda3…yone advise me
e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
/dev/hda3: |====================== | 38.9%
It won’t proceed beyond 38.9%.
Can anyone advise me please? Would appreciate this very much.
Thanks in advance.
PS Why is it necessary to put the box into Maintenance Mode to run e2fsck?

I’ve found the answer to that.
And I’ve read the fix-disk script, and understand that. Don’t understand why e2fsck hangs up, though.
Any clues? ;}

Hi egarobar,
Sorry no idea. Anything technical like this needs to be addressed to Raydon himself, or read his notes. Should be a link somewhere to contact him. I doubt if any other user will be able help further. John L
What caused you to run fix-disk ?
If you suspect problems with a disk, a good starting point is to put it a computer that can read the SMART diagnostic and status data directly.
Yes, I was having a problem with the hard drive. But now – success – I ran the fix-disk process overnight by installing Termux on my phone, connecting via telnet with WiFi, and finishing it on waking up. The process took under 3 hours.
Hopefully this will get rid of the problem. At least I know how to access it now. Thanks to you all for your help.
