So now I've managed to install the firmware via USB I can offer these notes on humax's instructions. Start with the box depowered. The file they link to for download is not zipped and can go into the usb stick as-is. This only worked for me with 1 out of 3 USB sticks. 2 older SanDisk cruzer...

thanks f or that. for some reason i had abount an hour of normalish remote operation this afternoon so i managed to reset (which didnt help either) so i wont bother him for it now but its good to know there's one available.

I managed on the third try with a third stick, full formatted to fat32 on a windows 10 pc. it didnt fix my remote problem!

I'm trying to reload the firmware to reset the box. It's not recognising remote commands properly (it's not the remote) and a factory reset has been suggested but i cant do that if it doesnt recognise the remote so im going to use the firmward upgrade process, even though its with the version it...

I thought i tried all combinations in all fields. maybe i missed one. whatever I did it's working now.

I tried all case combos - google searches turned up all lower, mixed and title cases. However, the good news is that the reset did the job! Thanks everyone!

thanks, black hole. I dont remember changing the pin but then was 8 months and a brain operation ago so i'll try the reset

no, I'm not really that stupid but thanks for asking. Not only did I go back through this thread I googled for others before posting. I tried humaxftp and 0000 as well as the ones i have set and it didn't work.

well, i did get it working about 8 months ago and did what i needed to do. i just tried it again and its not working again. i got this log: Status: Connecting to 192.168.0.6:21... Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Response: 220 Welcome to Foxsat...

it happened for me on ITV1. The double exit fixed it.

i've tried a couple of other browsers. i reinstalled vlc 2.05 including the mozilla plugin. in ie9 i get a black window with a small vlc logo in mozilla firefox i get an error that says a plugin is missing in chrome i get a jigsaw icon and a plugin missing message. I've tried vlc 2.04 and...

should the video start playing on its own or do you need to push the play button under the window?

I tried to upgrade my vista machine to ie10 but it isnt supported so I hope ie9 is ok...

Hmmmn. Definitely 2.0.5 (also says 'twoflower', whatever that is.) I'll just do a quick sanity check in case i'm being stupid again: I open webif in ie9 click on 'browse media files' click on an SD recording window opens with media details including a play button click on play button play...

ok, tried that on both my W7 and vista laptops. both have 2.05 and i have restarted the browser but still same problem on both.
