Hi,
My Humax HDR 1100S box displays a Chinese message during startup.
See attached image.
This is so weird. Is this expected? I believe it's been doing that from the date I received it (more than a year ago), not 100% sure though. Got it through Amazon.
Thanks
Fred
NB: any idea what the message means?
hdr1100s_boot.jpg (69.6 KB, 15 downloads) 5 years old I suspect that it is generated by your TV rather than the HDR-1xx0S.
Thanks for your reply but no, this is not generated by my Philips 42PFL6067 TV.
Very odd, I have not seen any reports of such a message and in any case Humax is Korean owned.
I assumed it relates to the HDMI port becoming live before the boot process reaches picture display.
This is extremely worrying.
Here is my boot sequence:
- I turn on the TV
- I turn on the HDR-1100S.
- The "Freesat - HUMAX screen appears" (see attached picture 'boot_1.jpg')
- The Chinese text is displayed (see attached 'boot_2.jpg')
- The box's hard drive starts to spin and data is accessed
- The Freesat logo is displayed (without "HUMAX" this time) (see attached 'boot_3.jpg')
System information off my box:
Model number: HDR-1100S
Software version: UKSFAA 3.00.96
Loader version: UKSFAA 1.09
Update date: 13 AUG 2018
MICOM version: UKSFAA 8.04.01
No software update is detected when I go in the software update menu.

The screen starts in a low resolution change before switching to the setting (Auto or specified). Try changing this to 1080P to see if this removes the message.
For info - was that a normal standby boot or a power off boot?
Philips no longer make TV's. The brand is owned by a Japanese company who manufacture in China. The message is almost certainly generated by your TV.

This is a 2012 TV. At that time, Philips did make TVs and the firmware/software was not designed in China.

My TV is configured to use 1080P.
I changed to 1080I, which is the default setting. Same result.
I unplugged the box, waited about a minute, then plugged it back.
Same result.
I am not sure the message is in Chinese. I had a Chinese ex-colleague look at it and it said the text was garbage. It might be in Korean.
I tried the Google Translate app, which can translate the text in picture, and any attempt to do a Korean translation results in something not meaningful.
Do you have anything else attached to the TV (perhaps a HDMI-CEC capable device)?
