Realisticaly Option 3 is the way I'll go for now so can anyone on this foruim tell me how to reset the system ID so I can re-program via PC to get my system software up to date once and for all? Presumably at that point it will keep itself up to date again OTA for future upgrades.
You need to connect the serial port on the Humax to a PC and apply a special file to fix the System ID. You can then apply the firmware update which should greatly improve the behaviour of you box. If you want the special file then please send Barry or myself a Personnal Message with your email address. In my (biased) opinion the easiest way to do the required updates is to use my flash9200 utility. See http://www.tynecomp.co.uk/flash9200.html for a description of the process, the parts needed and a download link. Come back and ask if you need further help.
