Hi all,

Have updated the receiver with latest firmware, in hoping too for satellites update (missing Eurobird 9, and quite a few), actually see no 'visible' difference with other firmware versions,

Have been through the forums, and one of the members posts a link / file which apparently updates all frequencies(_http://rapidshare.de/files/39037240/JoshyFun_Transponders.rar.html), and it doesn't mention if it updates sat lineups,

As I open the file, I get a virus - trojan horse alert, so I delete the file, please someone reassure me it's clean?

On the other hand, went crazy updating - inserting the transponder list with Formula Editor, upload it on receiver, run a scan, and find no channels,

Contacted Humax UK (apparently for Europe it's the main support), of course no reply or support or whatever,

Am a bit disappointed, as I thought the Humax was one of the best STBs, but a receiver without a complete satellite lineup is far from being the best,

Would be grateful for any hints and how to-s, as an STB with 20 -or so- only satellites listed is a bit wasted, and takes away part of the fun of sat zapping;
plus considering the Brand, one would hope of something a bit more complete,

Thanks!

Use Laural's list (_www.laurals.net/index1.htm) for 14th May. That has around thirty satellites. Eurobird 9E is coupled with Eutelsat W1 10E in the list as I believe Laural was unable to differentiate the two when he compiled the list using the Diseqc 1.2 software in the Humax.

I added Eurobird 9E in a fixed dish list though, as I use a separate positioner for moving my dish.

Humax customer care is a joke ,once they sell the boxes after sales service is non-existant and as for software updates I don't know why they bother to put it in the receiver as it NEVER works.
What a pity that such technically good boxes are ruined because of Humax's self interest in profit only!!! Shame on you Humax executives.
