In the above after restoring the power the box will wake up for a short period and go back to sby. Wait till this has happens. If when you insert the usb stick it’s led lights then the box wasn’t fully in sby. If this happens you will have to start again, as above.
Thank you for all your replies. I am most grateful for your information. I have recently switched TV not considered this point before my older tv just gave up blank screen arrrrgh1 I am sorry to say that my problem still exists. I have attempted to install the update and precisely followed the instructions. Power Off, Download onto flash drive (formatted FAT32) and inserted into front socket Humax. Power On Continually tap down button “V” on Humax this just scrolls through the tv channels. The tv screen just shows large icons Music, Videos and an Install on right hand side of screen, selecting this icon nothing happens and there is no download progress shown. I wonder could there be some incompatibility between the Humax and Samsung TV? impossible to answer I would guess. I have had some days or relief Humax working as it should. I am afraid I cannot connect Humax, Ground floor to router which is upstairs. The Humax System information App Version UKTFAC 1.01.20, Loader version UKTFAC 1.04, Update 08 Jan 2018, Micom version 12.4. I wonder in desperation if there is another device worth considering?

As previously already stated:
The use of the channel button has to be done extremely quickly after starting to power it up. As SSThing said “press and hold the power button and channel down at the same time” instead.

From switching the power back on how quickly do you get to that state?
I ask because that would mean that the software to run the HDR has loaded and you dont want that. What you want is the initial loader software to run.
There are a number of ways the software update could be failing for you.
Please see my earlier post where I have addressed a lot of them one at a time. It is a long post but each ‘reply’ concerns a different aspect where it could be going wrong. Just read it one reply at a time
Go to the Picture Set Up Menu of your TV and somewhere in there you will find HDMI Colour set up. On my PVR 9300 T I had no Sound when using the HDMI Input but no problems on the SCART Connection.
In the TV Menu Picture Set up set UHD Colour on the HDMI Ports to OFF and save the settings, now the Sound from your Humax should work OK.

Not here it isn’t.
Well. That’s weird then. It’s always bold in the forum list for me (and the only one that’s not actually a new post) regardless of it’s position. It can be six down the list and still be bold. It’s the only one that behaves like this.
W10, Chrome.

Not here either.
Could be a Chrome problem. Oh the fun of browser incompatibility.
OK, it doesn’t do it in FF, Edge or even IE.But why just this one thread? There must be something there for it to embolden. And you don’t automagically go to the first unread post, but that’s almost certainly because you have read them all several times.

At what point did the OP say he had a UHD TV ? If he had there are much more complex issues ( HDCP 2.0 ports on the TV and HDCP 1.4 on the box).
If the OP has in fact a UHD TV – Neet have come up with a solution that can bi-directional convert HDCP 1.4 to HDCP 2.0.
The OP appears to have ignored my advice re post #15 and #16.
This has worked for me on both the FVP and Freesat+ boxes, on numerous occasions.
If the LED access light on the usb drive lights on power up, the update will never work because the box is not 100% in sby (make sure the box is set to enable low power sby) . If it’s not completely shut down in > 0.5W power. It just boots to normal and ignores the xxxx.hdf file. Only if the box is completely shut down will it find the update file.

For the record, I see exactly the same behaviour as Trev with Windows 10 and Chrome.
Thanks for the advice to connect the HDR 2000T direct to my router by Ethernet to get the Software update.
Luckily I have an Ethernet cable to the TV directly (to give best possible connection for smart TV) so just swapped this over and downloaded. Solved the problem in minutes Sound restored.
