Thank you Barry.

My problem was linked to a TV using a Video Sender, the main TV was not affected. I followed your instructions and I am happy to report all is ok.

Thanks once again.

As a new member, I scanned through the forum to see if my problem was being discussed. It was and I found this post which seemed to be the same as mine :

Hi Barry. I too seem to be having a similar problem, although not 100% the same. I get the black screen with audio and messages re no HDCP and AV blocked but this is on a TV upstairs via a video sender.

If I go downstairs to the main TV (Samsung)it seems to be working ok. Any advice would be most welcomed.

Your reply:

Strange this because it should only be affecting HDMI, however check your Private Messages in a moment.

I wonder if you could help me please.

I temporarilly solved the problem by powering down the Humax box and it has worked, but I think I read that this fix may not last.

Thanks.

Sorry. I have a Humax HDR. 100S. 500gb

Thanks

You will need to upgrade to the beta see this post for link to freesat help page on issue.:

Admin Note: will merge these posts into open thread shortly.

Now merged apologises if you were viewing forum and noticed me making a cats of it

I have downloaded the file hdr1000s_upgradehdf to my PC. I don’t have an app to open this file but then do I have to open it? I have saved it on to a USB hard drive as instructed. Will it suffice to save this on to the Humax box via it’s USB port and follow the instructions from there?

I am having the HDCP not valid problem with my TV in another room which is connected from the HDR1000S box via a video sender connected to the Scart socket. If we have the main TV switched on which is connected to the HDMI of the Humax the TV in the other room gets the picture OK, when we turn the main TV off the picture goes blank on the TV in the other room after a couple of seconds with the HDCP message. I have read all the posts on this forumn and followed the software update via USB using the download from the Freesat site which says it will change the software version from 3.00.18 to 3.00.20 but it actually changes the version to 3.00.12? After the update I still have the exact same problem and I even tried a factory reset which made no difference. Any help is much appreciated please.

You don’t need to open it.

Copy or move the file to root of a pendrive, make sure unit is powered off, inset pendrive, power up unit simultaneously pressing the CH down button on front of unit until update process commences, as seen on tv or front panel of unit. Update is complete when END is displayed on front display of unit. Unplug pendrive and reboot unit.

Thanks for info, Barry, which I may try. I say try as Teflondave’s post suggests that it may not work. Since I switched off the power on the Humax box, and turned it back on earlier today, I have not experienced the problem again. Fingers crossed it may have been a temporary glitch, if not I may try the upgrade as recommended.
