The eagle eyed amongst you might have spotted something 'weird' with the updates as listed on the DTG website.
Currently updates have to end at midnight, and then re commence at 10am next day, this is due to a problem being experienced by another manufacturer.
Obviously the only recourse for HD/HDR T2 owners is manually updating, either using the OTA when broadcast or via USB.
Repeat OTA for the HDR T2 - version 1.02.20
Mon 15 Aug 2011 - Wed 17 Aug 2011.
As you know I am hoping to get this soon and take it that they will now come with the new software? 
I will check with them when I buy Barry.
What time frame am I looking at to get this with the updated software?
Update has only been available for just over a Month, so not many in the retail chain will currently have it I suspect. However further OTA's are planned.
You can also download the firmware and update it using a USB stick.
Reminder:
Repeat broadcast of 1.02.20 starts today 15 Aug 2011 at 10am and continues until Wed 17 Aug 2011 at 9am.
It will be repeated again:
Mon 22 Aug 2011 - Wed 24 Aug 2011

But it's always broadcast on the HD Mux. So only half of the country (roughly) will get over the air updates for the Humax HD boxes, and the other half of the country will mostly be using whatever the box came supplied with (apart from the tiny fraction that update by USB).
Why don't Humax ever update HD boxes on the SD Engineering Channel?
PS. Don't say because people only buy HD boxes in an HD area. People are quite aware of what is coming on Freeview and I know several people that bought an HDR Fox T2 in order to get a box with an HDMI output, knowing that it would work with HD when their area gets DSO. They saw this as better value than buying an old model like the 9300 now.
Hi,
I've just registered on this forum, but have been reading it since buying the box last November...
We receive signals from Emley Moor so my box picked up the software update to version 1.02.20 OTA.. Which is good, I previously have updated it via a USB drive withiut incident...
However, has anyone noticed that while new software has done a long way to balancing the soud volume between HD and everything else, something else has appeared. On powering the box from standby, there can be a 10-20 second delay AFTER the picture has appeared before the sound appears?
I apologise if there is another thread running on this issue, please direct me to it.
To answer some of the other issues raised in this thread, the internet connection worked both before and after the upgrade, and BBC iPlayer works very well on even an average broadband connection.
Overall, I'm impressed very with the box.
Regards,
Brian
