Hi rd,
Is the update OTA or do you need to download it and use a nul modem cable to update the box, please? I am getting one from Ian at Southernsatellite, should be with me by Wen.

Very best regards Wez

I believe it's OTA, didn't see a RS232 on the back, there is a USB there

Thanks Lincs,
I reckon they are very good value and from a very good producer, I have a Humax 8100CI, but never use it now, though it was very good and was what I used till I got my first Dreambox, the 500s.

Very best regards Wez

The Humax 5400 was the original patchers delight

I'm hoping that a Patch appears for this - now that would be something

rd100 · 11-05-08, 03:58 PM

If the box was in standby over night it would have done the OTA (over the air) download automatic but mine was left on 101 bbc1 not in standby but i selected automatic download in the menu on Saturday morning and it said new software,

Kerry when you get your box when you do a first time install is checks any way for new firmware for you,
