Hi Barry, I am trying to find out the before and after loader versions of users who are trying to downgrade from 1.03.06 to 1.02.32, but the users have returned their units for a replacement. The symptoms appear to be that after a downgrade the unit appears to reboot and works O.K. but all stored TV channels are lost and a re-tune 'fails' e.g. finds no channels

ezra - thanks, returning is the only option at the moment.
I am wondering if when downgrading firmware the loader is also being changed, have a suspicion that loader was included in one of the earlier updates, but not 100% sure.

Ah O.K.Barry so, if I'm understanding correctly, the new units are supplied with 1.03.06 and Loader 7.34 but there could be a problem if, when downgrading to say 1.02.32, loader 7.32 is also installed, because the new units need to retain loader 7.34

ezra - My thinking exactly, will be discussing with Humax Towers tomorrow hopefully.

I have 3 HDR Fox T2's. The loader in them all has remained the same as purchased, regardless of firmware the version I have subsequently installed. Be it custom or official.

I think the loader version might be a red herring. From the reports I have seen the users have been able to load a previous version of software onto their box (1.02.32). However, the tuners no longer work on some units. Unfortunately since Humax have not released a downloadable version of the latest software it means the only option is a return to Humax. The current theory is that Humax are using a different tuner on these new boxes but I suppose it might be a difference in configuration.

Yes the problem with the stuff in #13 is that my HDR arrived with 1.00.04 and loader a7.30, I have since installed 1.01.09, 1.02.07, 1.02.20, 1.02.27, 1.02,28, 1.02.29 and 1.02.32 and non of them have changed the loader from a7.30. The only loader update I've seen reported was on the HD-Fox T2 rather than the HDR-Fox T2 and I don't think that has been confirmed elsewhere

Thanks guys - it might of been one of the many engineering builds I get to see that gave me the idea, not to worry, back to the drawing board

I suppose I am lucky. The HDR I downgraded to 1.02.32 from 1.03.06 has loader v7.34 but still works, all be it with the occasional 'no signal or program scrambled message'.
One thing I did notice that the signal levels when compared to an older HDR Fox-T2 where showing as much lower.
I have since stopped using the HDR and am waiting for later firmware to be released.
