Humax Foxsat HDR

My hard disk failed recently and i replaced it. In reinitialising it, I lost the custom firmware on which I have become dependent!

Trying to find the firmware, following the link from the wiki firmware downloads page and selecting the firmware, I get to a google docs page with error 403 - you don't have access.

Does the software still exist or has it been withdrawn? or am i doing something stupid (again)?
 
Which link in the Wiki was you following?, I wasn't aware there was a link for the Foxsat HDR Custom firmware in the Wiki, were you refering to Custom Packages ?

That Firmware Download page had been replaced with this one :-

wiki.hummy.tv

Firmware Downloads2

wiki.hummy.tv wiki.hummy.tv

However, both The original page and the replacement page is for Humax HDR / HD Fox T2 not the Foxsat satellite product
 
Thank you. Does the firmware still exist for the satellite product? I used it on this box for at least 3 or 4 years and thought it outstanding.
 
There are some forum links here :-

Useful Links for the Foxsat-HDR Customised Firmware

Here are a selection of useful links for the Foxsat-HDR Customised Firmware. The Latest release of Customised Firmware for the Foxsat HDR is v4.1.3 which is available for download from HERE. List of packages for Foxsat-HDR Customised Firmware Media & File Server Bundle for the Foxsat HDR -...
hummy.tv hummy.tv
 
thank you. Should I have been able to find that? I tried searching and failed.

When I try and download it, it offers me something called raydons media and file server bundle before the core software - does that sound a) right and b) necessary?

This is the guy who "invented" it
 
Got it! thank you both very much. I will now try and install and hope that I don't lose the current recordings :)
 
If you ever want to play recordings off the foxsat you may want to install nowster's patch as well if it's in there

You appear to have understood in post #5 above, so why did you start this new thread?

Trying to re-install Foxsat-HDR Customised Firmware

I am not sure if anyone still reads this thread. I had to replace my hard disk recently and have been trying to re-install the custom firmware. Despite placing the HDR_FOX_T2_upgrade.hdf file on to the root of a FAT32 USB, when i restart the Humax box from its switch, the screen on the front...
hummy.tv hummy.tv

You can't install any file with HDR_FOX_T2 in the title onto a Foxsat they can not use the same firmware

Yes, you should have... but not necessarily by search. There is a forum section "FOXSAT-HDR Freesat Recorder" with a sub-section "FOXSAT-HDR Customised Firmware", which contains pinned threads... including the "Useful Links" thread.

He didn't, he originally appended his post to the "Useful Links" thread itself, so why he was then rattling on about the HDR-FOX wiki and firmware is a mystery.
 
May I start by saying I am sorry!
The issue is simply that I did not understand the structure of this site. Those of you who have worked so hard to create it understand the conventions inside out; as someone who has not accessed it for at least 5 years I hooked on to whatever seemed most relevant. After failing with the T2 software, and being helpfully corrected by one respondent, I have now been directed to a different place for what is more likely to be needed. It's entirely due to my misunderstanding.
What I would say would be much easier is if all the models and versions were in one place. I think I am about to download from a dropbox source in a .rar file (which I will unpack) and hope to find the right hdf file in there. (as opposed to a different location with a zip file where I was trying to use the wrong model's software.)
 
Once again, the error was mine and I thank those of you who steered me right. I have now installed the firmware and am relieved/delighted to have a working machine again. Using the Humax interface was driving me up the wall.
