I think the DTG have reduced the transmission rate (bandwidth?) of the OTA too. I did a manual OTA update on one of my units during its first airing, before it was prematurely halted, and it took just over 30 minutes for the update to download. I updated another unit during the first repeat transmission and it took about 65 minutes to download: I have also seen other reports of recent downloads taking over an hour.

Hi,
Every morning since the middle of this week I found my HDR T2 box on in the morning saying L0XX but no video coming out of it. In the evenings I had to switch it off to get it working again. On a chance I tried starting an auto update and found that this rev of software is available. This solves the mystery of what was happening (for me).
Unfortunately when I trigger the update it takes minutes per percentage point such that to get to 55% took about 5 hours. Each time after many hours the screen says Error: E-OS and askes to restart the box. At the moment this is rendering the box pretty useless so can I ask that you prioritise releasing this update on the web so we can do a USB update please?
Thanks
AI e-mailed Humax support and described your problem. Here is the reply:
Humax Customer Support » I'm sorry to hear that you're having some difficulties with the OTA update currently being broadcast. I think the best thing you can do is to simply re-install the previous version of software. Unfortunately at the moment we have not released a direct-download of the latest software, but hopefully this should be released in the near future.
They have confirmed that they are going to release a direct download soon. Which is progress:-)| Thu 15 May 2014 12:02:05 #104 | -
Because of the very slow and laggy tv guide since my box updated its self to version 1.03.12 I have installed version 1.02.32 and now it is back to being super fast when going through the guide. The thing is that the other night there was an OTA update that put version 1.03.12 back on. Therefor I was back to my very slow guide again. I have now re-installed version 1.02.32. What I want to know is can I stop OTA software updates by going into the menu somewhere. I can't seem to find anything in the menu's to stop OTA updates taking place

There's no way on a standard box to stop the upgrade. The Custom Firmware add on has optional packages that will prevent the update happening.

If you set a daily reminder from 4.20 AM to 4.40 AM during the OTA period that should do it. You can do this through the guide. Simply switching the box on is not enough, so the timed power on/ power off feature will not block an OTA update, it has to be a reminder.

Many thanks for your very quick response Graham. It looks like I will just have to put up with it

The old custom firmware 'Disable OTA' package was found not to be completely effective in blocking OTA updates: the occasional one slipped through. This was modified to include a reminder, as described in my previous post, and is now very effective. The reminder on its own should do the trick.

Thanks for the reply Monty. I am not a very technical minded. I don't know what you mean by "custom firmware"
