Ah that's good to know. Irdeto is famous around here. They provide the technology for the encryption and smartcards used by cable operator Ziggo in the Netherlands. One of my teachers in university of a mathematical course on coding theory moved there and came back once to give a presentation on...

I managed to obtain the remote. Does anybody know of a working Humax TV Portal? Depending on the operator setting in the hidden menu, it either doesn't do anything or it shows interactive TV is not temporarily not available. I looked around for exploits for tinyftp. Someone found an exploit...

For some models the build instructions say the output ends up in a tftp directory. Maybe it would be possible to boot the box and provide it a kernel image and root filesystem through TFTP. This is something that works for recovering Speedtouch modems. Maybe the specs for the respective Broadcom...

Yes I did. I have only seen references based on an existing firmware image, nothing on creating a firmware from scratch with just the sources. Did I miss something?

Ah nice, so that's at least the sources! Thanks a lot for sharing that page. I don't see any instructions on compiling this into a working firmware image though. Has this already been achieved?

Thanks a lot for your replies! It seems you're spot on regarding the availability of firmware update files. As far as I can see, there are exactly NONE available online for any of the models I have. They were only ever provided OTA. I should see what Humax provides when I mail them for...

Is there any documentation on how the customized firmware provided here was developed? I have two boxes here a IRHD-5000C and a IRHD-5300C. Both of them have ethernet and USB ports. It would be nice if I could get shell access to at least one of them.
