So what is the 1.02.26 mentioned in the Humax email?
What 1.02.26? There is no such version for the 9150/9300. 1.00.26 has been around for a while but because some people either leave the box on all the time or switch it off at the mains when not in use, they do not receive the software updates.
Please see attached email from Humax
Ok I have gone back and looked at the last email from Humax and you are correct that it refers to 1.02.26 but this is an unfortunate error. If you look at http://www.dtg.org.uk/industry/download_schedule.php you will see that what was actually broadcast this week was 1.00.26.

I'll force a manual OTA update on the 27th.
Just to update this: after a bit of faffing about - the box would only stay on for a few seconds with the aerial plugged in. I unplugged the aerial, switched on, selected manual update, then plugged the aerial lead back in - all is now well. Thanks for all the help.

I'm a bit late coming into this "remote not working" issue, but I had a problem this evening and started to read through the very long thread. After a while I discovered that the only thing that was wrong was that I hadn't pressed the PVR button on the remote, which is why the Humax wasn't picking up the signal 
Perhaps this is helpful for some: make sure that when you have the remote switched on you press PVR (first white button on the top) before you press anything else. If the Humax is switched off then switch it on manually and then use the remote.

This thread is about the SD models (9200, 9150, 9300) and none of those have a PVR button. I suspect you have one of the HD models.
My parents 9300T did the same freezing trick during the 28th after it's 04:00 software update check. It's in Cheshire manually tuned to the Winter Hill Mux's. It had done the same thing around the 14th Dec as well when Humax did something none to clever with an update
what eventually seems to have solved the problem was to clear down all the channels, do an auto search, clear them all down again and then redo a manual search for the Winter Hill Mux's
As at Saturday night all appears OK still despite the checks for software updates at 04:00 Fri & Sat. I'm not certain which software version it's now operating on but am certain it was only ".15" after I had done the channel searches

More repeat OTA's of the latest are being broadcast this week.
Hi. I just wanted to send a big thank you for this info. I have had the same problem. In fact I have had it twice lol. My first Humax box would not work after a min. I didn't bother looking online for help. I thought the box had died. As I love that box so much I decided to buy another of the same model. Imagine my horror when the new box did exactly the same thing. That made me think it was too much of a coincidence. So I hunted on here for an answer. And you guys came to the rescue. I've updated the software, and everything is good. Thank you soooo much. I now have 2 working boxes. ;0)
