HUMAX USER GUIDE (Little HOW TO...)

[AbuAhmed]

Hi Alibe

Thank you very much indeed for your useful reply.

You gave me very nice advice.

Please if the code for example for TV8 is:

1FFF 1000 0000 0000 0000

and as i uderstand 1FFF is for ServiceID

so is 1FFF is hexa and should be converted to decimal
using calculator. if so 1FFF = 8191 but if you edit
PMCT editor you will see 1FFF = 0136 so which one is correct
and which one I should enter?

With all my best wishes.

Thank you very much.

Hi AbuAhmed,

When you are using PMC Tool to add or edit an entry, the Service ID should be entered in Hexadecimal form.

However, the slightly strange situation is that when you view the entry on your TV screen (after having updated your Humax), the number is visible in decimal form.

ToH / EPG / PMC Table.

The procedure how to upgrade Humax 5400Z IRCI
1. Install Toolbox into your PC
2. Download the +CAM firmware: ( HoT emu xx)
This is the software you have to upload in your receiver in order to have the multi-CAM mode. It’s a file with the extension HDF, and is created by ToH/HoT team.
3. Prepare for installing :
3.1. Turn off your Humax (so put it in STAND-BY modus) the card you used up to now it should be in the slot all the time.
3.2. Connect your PC to the STB using a RS-232C null modem cable
3.3 Start the Humax Uploader program (HU15.EXE from step 2), and set up the correct COM port and baud rate
3.4 When you click on humax uploader, 'Open HDF File' choose the HDF file you have downloaded and unzipped at step number 2. An automatic integrity check out is done through the file, next windows should appear if the file it's authentic and OK
4.Start installation of new firmware:
4.1 If everything was setup correct, click the 'Upload [PC->STB]' button. You need to turn on the Humax from Stand-by button manually to have the download started. During the process, you should see a progress bar.
4.2 After 100% a screen opens and tells you to turn on your Humax. The display will show a blinking ‘END’ word. Push the Stand-by button again.
5.From the receiver remote control, select 'Menu' ->'Config'-> Select Emu or Emu-K instead of Card

Uploading the Key.Bin

1. Download the latest key.bin and unzip then in you preferable folder
2. Start your humax in a channel (preferably FTA channel)
3. Connect you PC with Humax by RS-232C null modem cable
4. Open Humax Toolbox, click on DRS9500 EmuEd xx, „ File„ Open File and point to the saved unzipped key bin (see 1). Press open, Write, you’ll see counter reaching 100. After this you restart humax and keys should be stored in the flash now.

I hope all users of this STB like Kroky,Haq,Gastapoo or other users will co-operate with me to make this thread more useful for newbies like me
