Version 3.00 of the customised firmware has now been released and is available for download via the Wiki at http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Firmware_Downloads
In addition to bug fixes, this version is easier to install and provides additional methods for recovery of a misbehaving box. It also includes a custom operating system kernel for the first time which includes new features such as packet filtering.
There is no special upgrade procedure required for this version - it can be safely installed on top of any previous CFW version, or on top of any official Humax version in a single step.
Note that as it includes a kernel, it takes longer to programme into flash with a prolonged pause around the 90% mark and there is a second programming phase on the HD-Fox T2.
Full release notes:
