Just checked
Forced update worked OK this afternoon with 1.00.26 software and update date of July 2011
Has left it a loader version 4a.37 though
The loader has to be updated from a computer, it can't be done OTA.

Just for information, I have been helping someone to update software on a 9150 via email. OTA updates failed with an E-HW. I eventually realied that the problem was a very early loader version in conjunction with the fact that the Humax was supplying antenna power to a masthead amplifier. The workaround was to take the box to someone elses house where the installation did not require aerial power and it immediately updated. The long term fix will be to update the loader via the serial port.

Martin, does the early loader only affect the Auto Update system? From your post I'm assuming a user instigated Automatic or Manual Update was possible?

Is the Loader software seperate to the operating system or contained within?
Is there any obvious negative effect of only having the earlier loader version

I don't understand how you think that my post suggests otherwise; perhaps you could explain?

Providing the box boots and and automatically updates then updating only the loader will offer no benefit; it will help in a small number of cases for people who have problems.

Are you saying aerial power is lost when you go into menu?

Thanks
The box not having auto-updated even with being set to do so was part of the original problem. Now that a forced updated has worked we can see if the next OTA update works by itselfRichard
