    Have you ever tried to get Apple to listen?

    No. Apple offer a paid support service. I don't feel the need for it, and don't pay for it. Consequently, Apple and I don't converse. A state of affairs I'm perfectly happy with.

    I agree it's commendable that Humax and Freesat have acted quickly. Be interesting to see how many revert. All those whose wifi stopped working, I should think.

    ''If you had read this forum prior to the update you would probably have gone out and bought two. It is without doubt the best sat box money can buy - e.g. it's head and shoulders above the Sky+ HD box I used to use.''
    I have a busy life, when i fork out for some thing i expect it to work. Looking back at the forums, every time there is an software update, problems start. Freesat/Humax must be using some cutprice testing of their OADs.

    I realise how annoying this sort of thing is and sympathise. Example,iOS 9 has crippled my IPad and yet Apple do nothing months after the software was released. .

    That's clever considering iOS 9 is currently only available as Beta, the official release won't be available until September.
    If you do indeed have iOS 9 then there's only one person to blame for crippling your iPad.

    Been waiting nearly 2 hours for clearance to post this info and James beats me to it


    geoffc spotted it first. I saw his post and went looking to see if it was really official. I'm still a little puzzled - didn't think the box would accept a lower-numbered version.

    It will accept any version via USB flash. However unless the new version has also been pulled it will offer or auto update the next day. My guess is the new version has been pulled.

    Yes, Barry posted on Monday that it had been pulled. (#155)

    Thanks for the explanation.

    I've reverted to the previous version. If I try software update, it doesn't find anything so I guess the new buggy update has been pulled.

    It didn't like of any of my pendrives over 4GB. It does say the pendrive must be formatted FAT32 in the instructions. The update is 41MB

    Just completed the roll back to previous firmware - very straightforward.

    Used an 8GB PNY usb stick.

    I'm going to leave my 1010s as updated for now. Haven't had too many issues and the WiFi works OK. Will give it a chance

    I've just rolled mine back to the previous OS too using a 30GB generic pendrive. Its nice to see the icons back, and the showcase working again without an internet connection

    Yes, well done to Humax/Freesat for allowing rollback to previous version.

    My only problem, however, with the latest software has been the Edimax wifi dongle not working (I haven' t had the re-start problems). I've just changed this for the Tenda W311U+ and eh presto as a previous poster commented, wifi works and I have a link to the internet.

    On Demand and Showcase are both running smoothly.

    Only a slight issue with the Help and Info section where a request for the Internet Connection video gives me the message 'Not supported file format'.

    I'm sticking with the latest software version at the moment.
