Excellent, this problem starred this morning for me, and this solution seems to have solved it completely! I was on my way to buy a new box tomorrow as Humax “representatives” told me it was shafted!

Welcome to the Forum

Glad to hear we have helped.

In fairness to the ‘representative’ once the reports started coming in, it took a little while to determine what was amiss. As I stated earlier, am amazed at the amount of owners who have not updated software for one reason or another.

Humax Towers have also pulled the stops out to get the OTA schedule re-arranged for 24hour turn around on their software.

Welcome to the Forum

I am afraid that is the bottom line at the moment.

I have been tinkering throughout the afternoon trying to find a work around, but no joy.

As you have realised software for 9150 is not currently on air but back on tomorrow after 10am.

My 9300T started freezing today. I’ve updated to latest software (fortunately on air half an hour ago) and unit is now back to normal.

Welcome to our Forum

Reason yours did not update as per your edit, it is on 24/7. Unit needs to be in standby overnight to pick up OTA when broadcast.

I have had 9150/9200/9300 latest software versions on throughout the afternoon without issue.

Welcome to the Forum

Check software version via Menu, System, Status – Software version.

I suspect you will find an older version then the currently released 1.00.26.

Over the Air broadcast starts tomorrow at approx 10am. for the 9150.

See page 2 of this thread post #12 for a pdf explaining the OTA update procedures.

Yes wait until after 10am the 9150 version should then be on air.

It won’t find anything now as 9300 version is currently being broadcast.

You know where to find us if you have difficulties tomorrow

Hi guys,

Myself and my mother are both having the same problem with 9150Ts.

Barry et al, thanks for all the help in this thread, it’s much appreciated!

Welcome to our Forum

Thank you for the kind words, we try our best to give up to date accurate info and advice.

I have my 9150T switched on 24/7 and have automatic updates enabled, set to kick off every day at 04:00, the unit also does a quick update of some sort or other (no idea what) rather more often than that, seemingly at random, any time of the day (maybe twice per week? We’ve never kept a note as it only takes a second).

So it came as something of a surprise to find that it’s got software version 1.00.14 dated way back when, sometime in the late Cretaceous Period

Well, tomorrow morning after 10:00 it is. With any luck all should be well by the time we get home after work.

Thanks for the reassuring information Barry, I was dreading having to buy a new PVR.

Welcome to the Forum mwsomerton:-)

The unit has to be in standby to auto update.

When you get home from work tomorrow you will have to initiate a manual update unless you change the update time to something after 10 am, and leave the unit in standby whilst you are at work.
