HUMAX HDCI-2000 thread

[good2talk]

Can't offer any clue as to why this channel doesn't clear, good2talk.

Checking the idents with Formula against those on my Triple Dragon, which clears that channel, all are correct, i.e. -

SID: 35BB
PMT PID: 0113
VPID: 0B2D
APID: 0B2E
PCRPID: 0B2C

A mystery indeed.

Thank you very much for your reply, Llew.

I wanted to make sure, before I get rid of my Humax HDCI-2000.

Anyway, this receiver is useless for me!

Please help me if you can.

There is channel called Cee(i)TV on Hotbird 11727V 27500 3/4 that is free to air. The Humax can't view the picture for some reason it plays just the audio only where I tried with Technomate, Samsung & Echostar they all clear Video & Audio.

Could you, kindly try to clear this with new formula and let me know?

Thank you.

I'll see what I can do. Its ashame you feel that way. I still am very happy with mine. What receiver are you looking to substitute it with?

Regards,

I have gone back to my Samsung A300W for the time being. I will wait until some new HD receivers released.

Please have a look at the following link. Sony is coming with some new products. I may buy that one if it comes to European market.

Looks and sounds good. The price of 800+ euros will make the Dreambox 8000 look like a good deal also. If the Dreambox is your type of machine of course (Swapping images and card sharing).

Hay anyone tried to use the two CI slots at the same time? Do both of them work with CAMs inserted?

 

[jagost02]

Rato,

Good to see you around. From what I have read they both work. If you mix Cams it can be a problem at least a Trex and Matrix. But then again the Matrix never worked well with the Dragon.

Suposedly the Matrix ends up overriding the Trex. It happens with some other receivers so I guess its really a Cam problem.

Thanks jagost02 for the info. I only have one CAM(my T-Rex), so I haven't had the opportunity to test it with another CAM.

as i am too lazy to read the manual, i am hooking this reciever to my HD projector via HDMI, can i also connect this to my non HD TV?

 

[rato]

Yes you can zooma. Connect it to your non-HD TV input via scart.

 

[johnsattuk]

I have HDMI to my projector and YUV to my Plasma screen, works perfectly

Nice one. I believe it has an advanced menu for adding new PIDs for extra channels (Pr*emiere etc.)

Anybody tried it ?

What are the changes and are they good changes ?

Just installed it. The major change is the Advanced Search where you can now insert the Video & Audio PID, and the PCR PID.

 

[GD2004]

Also has fixed the audio problems I had on some channels like E! Europe on Hotbird!!
The picture quality on this box is superb in HD but I still have grumbles about quirky menus and no support for NTSC...so jerky picture on NBC feeds on Telstar 12.
Hopefully more updates will solve some of thse problems!

Will a Dragon and Diablo cams both work at the same time or will the Dragon conflict with the Diablo ? Has anyone got any experience of using both these cams in this machine?

 

[glesgaguysat]

I have just installed a Humax 2000 with a Dragon Cam.

I can recieve all Sky channles (subcribed) via my Dragon Cam and Sky card.

My question is, regarding the 2 cards that were supplied with the cam. (no instructions given). One is a "T-Rex loader card" and the other is a "Firecrypt access card 9" with a serial number on it.
Can someone tell me what I should use these cards for ?
At the moment I have a fixed dish pointing at Astra2 (I think) and I realise that the cards may be of use if I add another dish for Astra 1 but how do I use these cards, I have tried to find an "Idiots guide" on the forums (I must be a bigger Idiot than the normal ones )
Do I just stick the cards in and enjoy or do I have to do something in the Humax menu ?
Also I have a Topfield 5800 pvr with cam slots, would the cam/cards be of any use in this ?
Any help/advice appreciated

The Dragon loader card is used for updating you Dragon Cam, via a programmer, Cas 3 etc...
The access 9 card is a 9 Month subsciption to INXTC+XPlusTV (mature content channels on Hotbird)

Thanks Didds...so I guess I've only got another 9 months to update my dish or ditch the card!

So with the newsoftware the recievr will pick up the missing premiere channels the box was not picking before. eg Premier Sport Portal?
