    Welcome to our Forum

    I've already mentioned in post #2 that Humax are aware and engineers are investigating.

    As for itv player and 4OD - never promised and never going to appear on this unit I suspect.

    4oD is to be withdrawn and replaced with a digital streaming service for all the C4 channels from next year. Which makes it even less likely to come to the Fox T2.

    I just received this in an email from Humax support.

    Humax Support » Thank you for contacting Humax Support.
    If you are experiencing portal issues still, it may mean you're not properly connected to the internet, to receive any updates you'll need to be.

    What updates?
    Is this aimed at someone having difficulty with a YouView box?

    YouView boxes don't feature the Humax TV Portal.

    Both my questions were intended to be about the reference to 'any updates'. My second question was intended as a continuation of the first.

    I have been informed by Humax Customer Support that a software update for the HD-FOX will be released later this month. I don't know if this update will be transmitted OTA or provided as a download.

    Did you gleam any clues concerning what the software update is expected to address?

    Portal fix and iPlayer update from the e-mails I have received. Fingers crossed.

    I would like to believe that Humax Customer Support are telling me the truth, so I am hopeful that we will get an update. However, they seem to consistently get their timescales wrong: look at the HDR-2000T as a case in point. This unit is still waiting for an update that was promised months ago. If the HD-FOX update happens before Christmas that would be a result. I don't know if the update will be OTA: this will be on the DTG website in advance if it happens. It might just be released as a download: I asked about this but did not get an answer. They did say that they would e-mail me when the update is available: I'll post a message if this happens.

    I'll believe a software update when it is running on my parents' HD Fox T2, and not before. Humax are persistent offenders for promised updates never appearing.
