Hi,
I'm new here and hope someone can help.
I have bought a HDRT2000 1tb PVR and when I plug the dongle in and turn it on it stayes greyed out and doesn't reconise it
It is the new 300mb dongle.
I can connect it via the LAN cable and that works.
Also how do you wipe a software update and redownload it via the LAN cable way?
Many Thanks

What new 300mb dongle is that?

The only way I know is to install an earlier version of the firmware and then reinstall the later version. Trouble is with the HDR-2000T Humax never released the original version of the firmware; Maybe Barry knows a way? Why do you want to do this? There are very few problem reports across the whole range of Humax products that appear to be related to faulty firmware installations.
Hi Martin,
The new dongle is fatter that the 160 mb dongle. I have 2 HDR T2000 pvr players bought only weeks apart, but with different dongles.Both machines refuse to except the new dongle??
I spoke to Humax and they said I might have a software update that hasn't worked properly, but didn't tell me how to fix it. my first box boots up in about 5 seconds and the new one takes about 40 seconds. i bought the second box because i was so impressed with the first one, but im starting to wish i hadn't

Which boxes have you got, exactly?
There is no HDR T2000. There's the HDR-2000T, which works with the Humax wireless dongle. And there's the DTR-T2000, which doesn't have built-in wireless but is often used with the TP-LINK TL-WR843ND 300Mbps Wireless Adapter.
Hi James,
Sorry you were right, I have a HDR 2000T with a 300mb dongle.

What version of software is on your unit?

Was the new dongle supplied by Humax? Is it Humax branded?
my first box boots up in about 5 seconds and the new one takes about 40 seconds.
Those timings sound odd. Have you actually timed them accurately starting up when they are not recording (and not scheduled to record in the next 15 minutes). Our box takes about 25 seconds from cold.

Presumably the older box has the latest software with power saving off.
My HDR-2000T start up time is either 3 1/2 seconds or 29 seconds (without internet connection) depending on whether power saving in stand-by is on or off. When it was on old software the startup time was also 29 seconds.
Dan - If you answer my query re 'what software version' I may be able to assist further.
