I have just tried updating to the 1.01.06 s/w this morning on my HDR-2000T. I downloaded the file onto a brand new pre-formatted (FAT32) Sandisk Facet USB 8GB.
Following the update instructions and using the front USB socket, I tried several times, both holding the V button and repeatedly tapping it. It would not work.
When booted normally with the old software system, the Sandisk USB showed in storage as a Sandisk Facet USB so the Humax did recognise it.
Finally, I did a full format on an older Sandisk Cruzer U 4GB USB stick and copied the same file onto it (in both cases into root and no other files except the update file).
I first tried holding the V button when powering on and it failed again. I then tried rapidly tapping the V button when powering on and this time it came up on the TV screen with the update.
So - using Humax's own instructions - "it may not work with all USB sticks", it looks like it is a hit and miss process until you find one that works. I don't know if the 8GB USB works or not, I am not going back to try it again.
Maybe Humax only did a product release test using one USB type?
