How do I upgrade the software (firmware) of the Humax

Periodically new software (firmware) is released by Humax with fixes and additional features.

To check for new software and perform an upgrade you will need to ensure that the Humax is connected to the internet, when ready please follow these steps:

  1. Go into the TV Portal by pressing the TV Portal button on the remote control.
  2. Select the SOFTWARE UPDATE option from the menu. Note: The TV Portal window now says My Apps
  3. To scroll across to the right side press the right arrow button (next to the OK button). If this is the first time you have been in this menu you will need to agree to the popup question.

  8. When the Humax restarts you will see two progress windows as shown below. While this is occurring do NOT turn off the Humax, just let it run through the upgrade process. Please note that at times the progress bar can pause for up to 2 minutes and it will look like nothing is happening, this is normal.
