    IP download has been re enabled - grab it whilst you can

    Got it now. Took two attempts but only 5 mins altogether. Looks loads better.
    Thanks all.

    Hi,
    I have tried 6 different USB stick all FAT32 and the file in the root - with no luck!. The box did try and update automatically last night, but it was recording so put up a message to Update Now or Later, but there was no way to accept either option. After all the recording had ended it still had the same message with no option than reboot to get did of the message or use the box. Trying to just let it update automatically now, but its giving the standard 2-3 minutes message which means another reboot in a few hours. Can someone tell me what holding the Channel Down button does when powering back up, and how long to hold so it takes effect?

    Welcome to our Forum

    If your unit is connected to the internet then try to update now via the system menu.

    It is connected and I have been trying constantly for the past 2 days, but it just sits saying searching. I keep trying, but have to power off to try again every half hour. Humax support said they were updating in batches, could it be my box is not in their current batch? Any idea what holding the Channel down achieves on power restoration? I don't want to loose all scheduled programs, otherwise I would do a Factory reset.

    Holding the channel down on power restoration can be used when updating from USB pendrive if updating via system menu fails.

    A factory reset does not delete recordings, it does delete your schedule and any other user settings that have been adjusted.

    Guess that is why Humax call it a 'factory default' and not a 'factory reset'.

    Oh how I wished I had known the holding down the Down Channel button method did not disrupt the setup, recording or scheduled programs as it would have saved 10hrs frustration! Thanks for the knowledge, it will be my trusted method in future. So simple!

    Now time for a look around to see what`s new!

    Cheers for all the info guys.

    I don't know if this has been mentioned by anyone yet but skip forward/back no longer requires multiple button presses. Just press the right or left cursor keys and up pops the scroll bar. Ok you need to press it again to skip but that's better than pressing OK or Play first. Also the scroll bar disappears much faster than before.

    Also like the new way to get the "On Demand" elements (down arrow). Very nice. R-

    This is For all of you who use a Harmony remote. When you set it up to control the FVP-4000, there were buttons assigned to Recordings and Settings. I'm pretty sure neither worked. Now the Recordings button takes you straight to the recordings screen. The Settings button still doesn't work (at least not on my 650).
