Hi guys,
Is it possible to upgrade an older HDR-FOX-T2 to 1.03.06 from 1.02.32?

Yes but Humax have not officially released the software. There is an unofficial release available at http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Firmware_Downloads#Official_Humax_Firmware which a fair number of people here have been using for a while.Is it possible to upgrade an older HDR-FOX-T2 to 1.03.06 from 1.02.32?
1.03.06 has never been formally released (as in officially provided by Humax for download or OTA update), only factory-installed on new HDR-FOXes. As the latest hardware has a different tuner module we take it that it is essential for supporting the new hardware, but also contains "beta" updates for other stuff which may or may not be flakey. Originally I would have cautioned against installing it just to be up to date (ahead of the curve actually), but the few brave souls who have chanced their arm say it's OK. Bear in mind that "our" 1.03.06 is an extracted version, and might not be identical to any eventual formal release (or indeed the version that was installed before being extracted).I've absolutely no idea, I just assume the newer firmwares must be released for a reason, and therefore its a good idea to always be on the latest.
This isn't essential - the essential aspect is to ensure the box performs a proper boot and not just an aborted shutdown.using the front panel button to start the box and not the remote.
