What I can't understand is that, despite the PVRs being set to automatically check for software updates at 04.00 daily, they were running Version 18 software !!

Are your 9300s in STANDBY at the auto update time (4am by default)? They need to be for the auto update check to take place. For some reason many people leave their boxes switched ON 24/7 and so their boxes don't update.

Yes - they are NEVER actually switched-off; (by which I assume that you mean at the switch on the rear of the box).

When we go to bed, we switch off using the power button on the remote; that's all.

So John your boxes are in STANDBY at the auto update time and so should have updated ages ago. Maybe you have the id problem that Barry mentions a few times in this thread, maybe he will comment soon.

I believe John has now managed to successfully achieve OTA update, so his sys id should be OK.

If auto update is enabled, then I am at a loss as to why he got stuck on earlier version...unless any error messages on the front display were ignored, which I think is unlikely.

My V19 test unit is still OK as well, so I think we can assume whatever caused it has been tweaked or undone.

many thanks for all your help. Now back up and working.
Great - if only they would give it the functionality of the original Tivo !! Mine still works alongside the Humax and is better for some things.
Still, at least it is all back up and running, thanks to you

Good news

Glad we managed to be of help.

While we're on the subject of software Barry, any whispers on v26 for the 9200 or should we just forget about it?

Many thanks for the help I've found here. I have a 9300T and was tearing my hair out yesterday evening until I found this site. Until now my unit has been left on 24/7 (it feeds a common aerial system in the house and I work odd hours so often watch recorded programmes in bed early mornings) so it had not updated since purchase - update worked fine and first time last night so now back on line.

A lot of the Tivo functionality is protected by patents which presents difficulty in trying to replicate the functionality.
