@Paul_D post #8 – You state “Barry very kindly sent me a link to the latest software to update it to version 3.00.98 dated 11th January 2021”.
My HDR-1100S does not find this software version and Humax’s support page shows the latest software as UKSFAA 3.00.94 dated 7th Feb 2018 which is what is installed on my box.
Seems like Humax is not updating their support page so can you (or anyone) post the link to the latest software please?

InactiveMy Humax is now on version 3.00.98 but does anyone know what the update fixes? Is there a list somewhere?

Hi Barry,
I’ve been reading with interest about the latest Software update.
I don’t use YouTube on my Humax, is there any other reason to have the upgrade (bragging rights maybe).
Regards,
Paul

InactiveI’ve had the same problem since sometime last year. Initially, On Demand came and went but at the begining of this year, it went and didn’t come back.
I did see some comments last year that FreeSat and Humax were in some sort of dispute over On Demand services – no idea if this was correct or not.
I’ve been exchanging emails with FreeSat customer support on this problem for some time with no result.
However, this morning I noticed there had been a software release for the Humax HDR-1100S. Downloaded and installed – On Demand now works.
No idea whether Humax has fixed a software bug or writing the new software cleared a local problem. However, On Demand is now working

Not true.

Inactive@UKLarry666 – This unreliable On-Demand issue is something that we have to live with. Your case sounds worse than mine in so far as my Humax On-Demand works 85% of the time. It seems to depend on the individual boxes and I don’t think there is a fix.

Well, over the last year or so, I have queried both Humax and Freesat customer support as to whether there was some sort of dispute regarding On Demand services.
Neither denied it …
And irrespective of what the software updates were intended to achieve, my On Demand has become active again …

InactiveHDR-1100S Fresat. Don’t use on demand very often. Yesterday, no matter how many times I tried, it would not connect with “wait a minute then try again caption” displaying every time. Couldn’t find any obvious way to fix so powered down as a final resort (had checked for software update but none found or offered)
When simply powering back up, screen showed software update in process and said not to switch off machine until finished. Complied and when trying again found On Demand was working!
Had done nothing else at all. Happy but very confused as to how whatever the original problem was, effectively fixed itself.
Checked software version and it showed now running 3.00.98!!
Interested to know how on earth this came about.

I’ve no idea nor, it seems, does Freesat

However, since my previous post of 24th June, On Demand has continued to work.
I’ve now probably jinxed it by saying so …
