fhtcp 1.00.04 No typo

[hummy virgin]

Hi guys
If this software is any use to anyone give me a shout, i will keep it on the hummy for a week in
case anyone wants it.
What is the best upgrade path for me if any as I can choose almost all upgrades.
The reason I am asking is i have been lurking on this forum for a while and think some of you guys view upgrades as a tradeoff between new stuff and losing old functionality.

Nothing pre 1.02.20 is of any use to anybody, unless they don't want HiDef. See Things Every... (click) section 1.

I seem to recall that 1.00.04 was the original firmware release when the box was first launched in 2010.

 

[hummy virgin]

I dont know why but all the HiDef chanels are working.

 

[hummy virgin]

Yes 15/07/2010

I dont know why but all the HiDef chanels are working.

They will work, but if you record any programmes on the HD channels, there will be no sound. See the link in Black Holes post #2.

Are you planning to install the custom firmware?

 

[hummy virgin]

Yes i if it is the best way to go,I can only rely on you guys.
But which one,That is the question

 

[Brian]

I would probably start by installing the latest Humax official release which is 1.02.32, and is available from
http://beta.humaxonline.co.uk/freeview-hd-t2

Thanks brian is this what U are using ?

 

[Brian]

I am using 1.03.06 custom firmware 2.20 on my boxes, but I wouldn't advise going straight there from 1.00.04.

Thanks brian is this what U are using ?

1.02.32 is the latest stable release. 1.03.06 is on the bleeding edge. Please read the info I pointed you at before.

 

[hummy virgin]

Thanks for your help brian and black hole.
Now using 1.02.32 and upgrading to custom firmware as soon as the wife will let me ...Eastenders...River City (scotland)...etc...etc...etc
Thanks again for not abusing a thick newbie.

Another recommended upgrade is to remove the horrible orange filter from the front panel display, making it a much nicer green display that can be seen quite easily when the box is in standby.

 

[hummy virgin]

Make mine green...
