Barry – thanks for all the advice you have listed here, i shall attempt the update on my PVR 9150t after 10am tomorrow. Think you have saved me a few quid as the wife was dragging me off to buy a HD new one tomorrow – she will be gutted!
Hello Barry. You are working very hard! I’m afraid pressing menu yields zero result. What next ?
Hello again. At the risk of sounding a total numpty – just wanted to clarify that when you say “power cycle” I am assuming you mean switching off & on again ?

You need a serial cable (null modem type with pins 2/3 swapped over), and you PC will either need a seral port or you have to use a usb to serial adaptor.
If you do not have any of this the best bet would be Humax Support for a swap out.
In an effort to give Barry a rest and allow him to grab a cuppa maybe some of you could look at this Humax page which is the same as Barry’s pdf on page 2 of this thread.
http://www.humaxdigital.com/global/support/OAD_SoftwareUpdate_9300T_9150T.asp
You will only be able to download the software when it is being transmitted for your model, see the link at the top and bottom of the Humax page (and also in this thread) for the download schedule.
PS the Manual Update will be quicker but is otherwise the same as Automatic Update.

Pressing menu should display a list of items, are you saying you get nothing at all after pressing menu?

Use the switch on the rear of the unit to switch off then on again.

My remote has suddenly stopped working. If I turn the box off and on again the remote works for a couple of minutes and then dies again. Help!!!
Thank goodness for this forum. I have had the same trouble all day with my 9300, remote works for a few minutes and then everything stopped responding including the manual buttons. I eventually found this forum with the advice to download the latest software and hey-presto everything is fine now. The trick is to power off completely, switch back on and immediately go to the menu, before the remote gives up, and select the software update.

my remote is completely not working, only the buttons on the box are but for only about a minute until it freezes and can not enter in the password as there are no numbers…… what do i do for the password?
Thanks for the quick response Barry!
Tried the auto update to no avail, if I was to leave it in standby tonight, will it update automatically

Good advice but to be clear it isn’t the remote giving up, it’s the Hummy getting its knickers in a twist and being unable to process the commands.
how can you update when the remote isnt working and i cant enter the password as there are no numbers to type in mannually on the box?
Hello Barry. Thanks for confirming re: power cycle. Correct, nothing at all happens when I press Menu ( or any other button) – I am using the buttons on pvr itself not the remote. I’m assuming pvr hasn’t died as it merrily continues to display BBC 1 & the time after each power cycle
Sarah – Welcome to the Forum
Sorry it has taken a while to respond.
As I understand it you have a 9150 and if so there is no solution until tomorrow when the latest software will be broadcast again from 10 am.
If you use the switch on the rear of the unit to power cycle the unit, and once you get a picture immediately press menu, you should gain some control……however until you have updated the software it will lock up again I’m afraid.
