Sorry to hear calling Freesat didn't help. Personally I would follow Martin's suggestion and ring Humax, before taking it back. As you could get it replaced only to find that the replacement behaves the same way.

Thanks for your replies,
i tried to phone humax earlier, but the office was closed. lookslike it is a premium rate number as well.Ive decided just to send i back to amazon as they offer free returns.
It is a shame as it looked like it would have been a good box for the price, but i cant see this getting resolved without a replacement being issued.Appreciate all your time and comments,
Ben

Hi
I thought my box was doomed. I tried everything to try and get OnDemand (and Showcase) working after just getting my box! I finally got it working. There is a Beta firmware from 2013 which after flashing worked perfectly using the latest 2.02.46 firmware!

Hi

More details about my journey on my blog: http://langlan.wordpress.comHi welcome to our forum, though I find your post difficult to understand.
When you updated the firmware (software), what you had installed before has no relevance,
A software upgrade is a complete new software installation. It replaces 100% what you had before in respect of the software that makes the pvr work. What you had installed before was completely replaced.
Imagine a Over The Air Upgrade that depended on what you had already installed before. You might have a box that had not been upgraded for months or years, depending on where you got it from.
When you upgrade over the air by satellite, there is no way to know what the current software you have installed, The box itself has to compare the current OTA version. If the current version is out of date it updates the installed software, if not it ignores the update.
If you read the thread regarding the recent problem update, you will see the only way to revert to the previous trouble free software was to remove the update from the automatic update process.
Without this you could have downgraded the software, and the auto update would have reversed the downgrade.
I imagine you are thinking of say a Windows PC, where the Operating System is patched to include new updates, Only part of the software is updated. Unlike a PC most of the the software that makes a pvr work cannot be changed as it's built in to the dedicated chips that make the box work as a PVR.
A Windows PC use a CPU that can be programmed to do virtually anything that a programmer can devise. As a result the OS is much larger and the same CPU can support many different Operating Systems (Windows, Linux etc).
A PVR uses a CPU that the main functions are dedicated to it's function as a PVR.
Your washing machine most likely has a CPU dedicated to washing your dirty washing. It will have some capability to modify how it works to make your washing cleaner.

It looks like the Beta firmware re-writes a different portion of the ROM, as when I flashed it, despite it being one from 2013 it remained on the July 20 2015 firmware. The size is also completely different (13~mb vs 42~ for the 2.02.46 firmware). Without examining the flash file closer, I suspect it rewrites a different area (perhaps some data which becomes corrupted and causes the issue in the first place? - which is not included in the normal firmware updates perhaps?)
So pleased that it is now working.

Could be your box was just suffering from similar Showcase/OnDemand problems to those reported by others in this thread.

So pleased that it is now working.The beta firmware in question is referred to as "Receiver Data" in the change-log rather than "System software" in the 2.02.46 firmware file's change-log.
