I wanted to get the upgrade for my Mum's PVR-8000T but we missed the recent auto-update.
I have the correct cables for performing the upgrade but couldn't get it to work. I followed the instructions on the Humax site but the PVR did not detect the firmware update taking place over the cable from my laptop. I tried various baud rate settings none of which had any effect.
Should I set the parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control to any specific settings to make this work?
The cables I have are a male serial to 3 pin din (direct from Humax) and a serial null modem cable (pins 1-7,2-3,3-2,4-6+8,5-5,6+8-4,7-1) bought from Netshop.
I tried switching on from Standyby and a power off/on cycle whilst running the WDN40AK software.
Any suggestions before I contact Humax support?
Thanks
Mike

But I do have a Humax BXR-HD+ which is the same box but adapted for the. Humax hasn't published any offical update on their website so there is. They're usually the same value in official firmware files. A guy named colibri created a utility for the German Humax PR-HD1000 and iCord which has the.
