Can not update Humax hdr foxt2 using a USB

[themannsindorset]

I have downloaded the latest Humax hdr_fox_t2_upgrade.hdf upgrade to my PC and then to a usb chip (On fat32) I plugged chip into back of Humax and started the Humax. Machine hangs for ever and eventually I have to pull the plug. No messages etc. What may be wrong? Peter

Hi - you may not have had replies as this is a satellite receivers forum and the model you quote is terrestrial.
I've done this update twice ( ...29 is the latest, but I think you'll have tried ...28) - the only problem I had was that the particular USB stick I first tried had special setup for security setting, the next was a bog-standard stick which worked.
Did you get any messages to indicate it had found the file?
The process should (1) find the file (2) copy the update somewhere - takes a while (3) install the update (takes even longer), and the latter 2 stages should show percentage done messages on-screen.
