Thanks Barry. Oh that's a shame... I guess I will have to wait for the next public release. Is there any chance I could be given access to the hidden area on this forum? I'm really interested in reading about some of the new features.

I've tried to load the new firmware 3 times now. The process seems to follow the Humax guide with the spinning blue triangle presumably showing the firmware on the USB stick has been recogised and is loading ....... but I'm not asked to press the Standby button at the end of the process and when I check the new firmware version it's still 1.00.73.
Please can I have access to the hidden thread to see how others are dealing with this? I'll PM Barry.

First you need to check your pendrive and ensure the update is the only file in root. Failed attempts can add other files to root.
If you are sure that this is the case there are 2 different ways of updating via usb, see FAQ Para 2 and note on how to update.

I've just tried the other method but, once again, without success. The USB drive is detected with the usual Video / Photo / Music flash screen but when I go into Check New Software I just get the usual spinning triangle with "Searching for new software ... it may take about 2-3 minutes" which we all know will continue forever.
I'll try unplugging the LAN cable and see if that forces the USB update.

You should not see usb drive being detected with the usual Video / Photo / Music, it should initialise software update before that if using the power off method.

RichardNope .... another fail. There seems to be no way that I can get the 4000T to check for the update file on USB even though the correct file is present and the stick is FAT32 formatted.
Even though the network cable is unplugged the box simply defaults to a wifi connection and there appears to be no easy way to disable it. I'll try turning off my wifi router but this is now getting ridiculous.

There should be no need to turn off router or wifi, but you will have to check pendrive files after each failure.

As the method does not at a later stage say "Turn box on" it must presumably be on already?
However, I'll try inserting the pen drive with the box unplugged.

RichardNope, that fails also. There is only the update file on the pen drive. I unplug the box, plug in the pen drive, then re-insert power. The box starts but in standby. After a few minutes with a blank TV screen I press power on, the box starts, and the USB splash screen with Video / Photo / Music immediately appears. This then immediately adds the appropriate folders to the pen drive of course.
If I then go into "Check new software" I am stuck in the loop forever.
I will download the update file to a different pen drive and start again.
