Updating from 2.11 (Humax 1.02.28)

[thetrueblue]

Hi, I finally got my 'upstairs' Hummy on my network over the weekend and modded it to 3.03, THANK YOU!
In doing so, and reading round the threads, I heed the advice to update my 'downstairs' Hummy to 3.03 (from 2.11). Before I give my self a, "Doh" situation, can someone please confirm which specific CF 3.03 zip I should run with? There appear to be three, but I don't see one specifically for (Humax) 1.02.28, I presume I should use the one for 1.02.20, which must encompass everything from 1.02.20 to 1.02.32, but would just like a bit of reassurance before I brick my trusty machine? Thanks again

All the firmware in the WiKi page is for the HDR-Fox T2 or HD-Fox T2 and for the majority of users the HDR_FOX_T2_1.03.12_mod_3.03 is the one to use, the HDR_FOX_T2_1.02.32_mod_3.03 and HDR_FOX_T2_1.02.20_mod_3.03 version are also supplied for users who want to avoid certain 'features' 1.02.32 avoids a slowing down or lag in displaying the EPG when scrolling. 1.02.20 avoids automatic retunes if I remember correctly, but this can be avoided in other ways

See Things Every... (click) section 1 for specific features of the various revisions of standard firmware. 1.02.20 is particularly preferred by users of audio description, amongst other things (IIRC).

1.02.20 certainly does not encompass 1.02.20 to 1.02.32; you would need 1.02.32 for that. If you want iPlayer then you need 1.03.12; if not 1.02.32 is a good choice. In your case you can use any of them without problem; late production boxes will only work properly with 1.03.12.

Thanks to you both for your speedy replies! It's pretty obvious isn't it when someone explains it!
I've got some capping to do over the next three nights so will leave this until the weekend.
Thanks again!
