It's quite an extensive update, so it needs a new package version. You could upgrade to the 2025.04.01 code, which should still work, by applying this 1-line change.

2025-04-08 is needed for YT now.

Is the improved wireless-helper package helping now?

There doesn't seem to be a specific thread for the epg package (also, the forum doesn't support searching for TLAs). This output was shown today in the package upgrade dialog: >>> opkg upgrade epg Upgrading epg on root from 1.3.0-1 to 1.3.0-3... Downloading...

Uncommanded resets typically don't appear as crashes. While the Humax s/w is running, apparently one or more of the databases in use is trashed, possibly a flash storage issue, or possibly just Humax s/w. The Humax s/w continues to run, though strange effects may be seen. The next start fails...

Plainly it's not ideal, verging on POSSLQ-exclusive. In due course I could add that sequence to the remote start-up sequence or perhaps organise some CF trickery to send the commands. Or identify which component has gone off-spec and replace it. Could the matching item be in a sacrificial Humax...

My experience after a few weeks with an HDMI-capable AV receiver between the aged Humax, with Pin 19 isolated, and the TV is that the sound is available at turn-on but the TV display is black. Supposing that the set-up had been running at 1080p before turning off, a series of 6 V.Format remote...

Presumably @af123 has the key to building 1.1.1d, and possibly w too?

Could you ever build 1.1.1d, or has s/t else changed?

A further small step in the arms race leads to the latest GH version that will (elves permitting) appear as the 2025-02-08 nightly release.

Didn't we find some guidance in the spec regarding what period might be "significant" in relation to the what the Humax s/w subtracts from the next scheduled event to calculate its wake-up time?

It could be that there is a more stringent reinitialisation (driven by s/w or by the demodulator IC) on power-up than on waking from sleep.

The TDA9984A HDMI o/p chip isn't meant to support 1920x540, so I suppose something must have made its 1080i seem like 540p. At least the tuner from which the EPG and TV out is derived developed twisted underwear and then worked again after power cycling. Is that surprising?

I guess component failure when what formerly worked failed first intermittently and then permanently. But digital security is all about introducing new failure modes that manifest themselves as "computer says no": that would especially have applied when a whole lot of HDMI implementations were...

My guess is that because of failing to complete the negotiation the Humax s/w (?) fails to enforce HDCP (which is initially off): https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/green-screen-known-as-hdmi-handshake-for-me-finally-cured.11456/post-176627. Adding to the above, I suppose a passive switch would...
