Aha! I have just looked at page 2 of that link I gave and whaddya know, there is talk of the fact that the Pin Number is NOT reset. Somehow the date jumps to 2016 so it may well be a change in software functionality. It does make sense to set things up like that I agree.

Your first few points are very valid BH. Here is one of those pages. https :// myhumax.org/ forum/topic/lost-pin, again I can't post a link so remove the spaces. The post you want is half way down the first page by "Barry". I accept this is 2013 so it is very possible that this is outdated...

Hi BlackHole, thanks for coming in on this. Yes, I definitely got the pin number reset info from a number of other sites specific to the Humax boxes where all the discussion insisted that it was reset to "0000" during a software reinstall. However, in the meantime, I have fixed it. My thanks...

As a last ditch attempt here I have now confirmed that the software was taken back to "3.00.94" during the manual update and the box now detects an online version more up to date at "3.00.98". (I think that might have been what I said was being reported as "3.00.95" in the first post.)...

Well! I found advice that explained that they really meant "Standby" switch. That failed the first time I tried it but, with a different USB stick, it then worked. So problem solved? Not on your life. The software update reported that it was successful but it has not reset the pin number...

Hi guys. I have the long time problem of a forgotten Pin Number! I've tried everything and got nowhere so I'm at the stage of installing the software update "hb1000s_upgrade.hdf" direct from Humax support site. I believe this resets the pin number back to "0000" as part of its task. Now...

Do-o-o-o-ohh! I was afraid someone would say that. Thanks for clearing that up Martin. I'll give up on the idea and just let it be what God and the design elves intended it to be.

I noticed the T2 boxes can have a firmware upgrade installed, (really a change to a custom version), which allows control to be set up via a browser on a PC/laptop/tablet. Is there a similar way of working with the HD-1000S?
