Humax 2000HD Channel List motorised 43 east- 30 west with favs and ITV HD set to Usals my Usals so set to yours after loading all channels for Diablo 2 Dragon etc :respect-055:

[tinto de verano]

Hi satpaul,

I'd like to thank you. I am sure I am not the only one who has been waiting for such a list.

Could you give us some more info on what it includes (or not)?

I guess only one way to find out... possibly at the weekend.

You say it is USALS, any problems if I do not use USALS?

Also what FW is it based on?

If you do not have the time to answer, do not worry.

I will try to upload it to my HDCI2000 at the weekend (after backing up my old one, of course).

Thanks.

Thanks satpaul. I needed a fixed dish version (DiseqC 1.0) for four LNB's, so I've taken the liberty of converting the file for my and anybody else's needs (cut and paste job in Formula).

What loader do you sue to load this settings from scratch?

Help!

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

You need Formula EU (Channel Editor for HDCI-2000 Model), which you should be able to get from the Humax website.

Added later:

Formula EU for European units, or

Formula ME for Middle East units

The receiver had to be reset when I had it repaired.

I used this but the reciever still stood in the Menu position when reconnected to the TV. What is going on?

Am I doing somthing wrong.

[maud]

Sounds like you are doing something wrong m8,load programme to comp.then if I remember correctly you have to open it and turn on box,when loaded you then need the loader programme on you computorswitch off box on back,then open loader it will then ask for box to be switched on and it will connect,open new list and send to box,I think that you have to turn box off at rear even for loading first programme.

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

Let's forget about your other two posts and concentrate on this one, maybe.

1) What exactly was the problem with your receiver?

2) What exactly do you mean by reset?

3) What firmware have you got?

4) Have you got any sats/channels in your list or is it all empty (is that what you mean by reset?

Depending on your answeers... maybe you need to do all the installation process again... and at some point add a channel list usingo Formula..

[Pajao]

I loaded the latest satelite settings and it shows that the setting has been loaded, but when i connect to the tv, I can only see the language settings. Is ther something I'm doing wrong?

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

When you say you loaded "the latest satelite settings ", do you mean SatPaul's "Humax 2000HD Channel List motorised 43 east- 30 west with favs and ITV HD set to Usals" which appears at the beginning of this thread?

If, so, have you modified that list in any way (an error in the modification might be the cause of your problem)?

Or did you load as is, with no modifications? Then no errors should be expected.

Also, what happened before you loaded the channel list? Were you able to watch channesl or were you also seeing the language settings?

But I think that your problem, if you can only see the language settings, might be:

Because yor box was repaired and reset... you might need to set it up/carry on all the installation process again, before actually loading any channel lists.

Look at the manual, Chapter 3 Installation ******:
"When powering on your product for the first time after purchase, the installation ****** will operate automatically. This
chapter includes the first time setup of the language, time, search channel and software update which will show you how
to start the initial installation.

tinto de verano

[Pajao]

I've now done the initial installation as you said such as language time settings and even search Hotbird to show some channels. Can I try again now?

[Pajao]

is this settings too big? I've deleted the Radio channels though before transfering data. This currently going but takes some time. I hope it works now.

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

Ok, so you now got it configured and working. Good! Congratulations.

Yes, you should now be able to upload the channel list from your computer to the HDCI2000.

Some people recommended doing a facory reset before uploading a channel list, but I think you can try without resetting (probably what the people who repaired your box did), and having to go all through the installations again.

Some people also recommended deleting all the channels you already have before uploading a new channel list, but I think you do not really need to.

Just upload that channel list and be patience, and cross your fingers.

Good luck.

tinto de verano

[tinto de verano]

Where did you delete the radio channels from?

From the HDCI2000, or from the channel list?

If from the channel list... you might have done something wrong by accident and the list might not upload properly... be careful if/when editing the list.

And yes, uploading takes a ehile... be patient.

By the way, when you get it working, and add or remove a few channels.make a backup of your new list, just in case.

tinto de verano

[Pajao]

Don't congratulate me yet M8, Its still not finished uploading. We'll see what happens when the uploading finishes. I did this yesterday but nothing happened.

I keep my fingers cross that all will be well.

:07:

[Pajao]

I deleted the radio channels on Fomula and save the file before uploading. Will this still work after data transfer?

[maud]

My experience of the loader is you need to save to desk top and then open that copy and send to receiver otherwise it seems to default to all again .

[Pajao]

The uploading has now completed the satelite is back on standby. shall i see if there any channels loaded on the TV?

[maud]

Have a go,always keep a copy of your list so you can always get back to it.

[Pajao]

The upload did not work its only showing the Hotbird channels which I search for before - Help. What am I doing wrong?

[tinto de verano]

Sorry, my PC just crashed...

Anyway@ if it fails, hopefully not, try uploading SatPaus's original channel list, without editing/deleting any (radio) channels.

That might work.

Although it will hopefully work even if you deleted some.

You can always delet them, one by one, slow, painful in the HDCI.

Ermm... if all goes well, please, remember to press the Thanks button, please.

Thanks.

tinto de verano

[maud]

Did you save to desk top and then go there for a copy to load back to receiver m8

[tinto de verano]

Didn't work?

Sorry to hear that.

Maybe becuase you edited/deleted some (radio) channels?

As I was saying earlier, try to upload SatPaul's list as is.

Good luck.

tinto de verano

[tinto de verano]

Surry, I have to leave now.

But I will try to be back tomorrow to try and help you.

tinto de verano

[maud]

What proceedure are you following to upload new channel list and which programme are you using please.

[Pajao]

I'm using formula EU and trying to load satpaul listings. I think I'll try again with editing and see what happens.

[maud]

You need to use the prog.formulae for HD from Humax site,the other is for version updates from Humax,the one you want is a channel editor.

[Pajao]

Yes I know this is the one - Click below link:

http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/support/downloadcenter_model_tool.aspx?ca tegory_seq=48

[maud]

Cannot use live link mate

[Pajao]

its only showing hot bird. Maybe I need to do a factory reset before doing this. What do you think?

[maud]

Are you using the programme that I said,if so how are you doing it.

[Pajao]

I loaded the file on to the fomula then upload the file to the satelite by turning the switch at the back on to upload. But after doing it last I was only seeing the Hot bird channels after loading. Will I need to reset? by to the language menu again?

[maud]

Is the box accepting your new list,or not changing m8.

sorry had to edit,should be no reason to do anything else as I dont.

[maud]

What programme did you use to load version 0.16 .

[Pajao]

Its the WDN4OAK from Humax

[maud]

Right does your box show that version in system status

[Pajao]

yes

[maud]

right no need to do any resets,open set editor and down load from receiver and tell me what you have please.

[Pajao]

Nothing on the menu. Its shwoing BooT when I turn it back on

[Pajao]

It looks like its gone back to the menu screen again. I can't until I connect to the TV though!

[maud]

Turn box off at rear,then open formula for hd ,then press read from box it should say waiting for connection, turn box onthen let me know what you have give it time to calculate,

[Pajao]

d07 shwoing no channels

[Pajao]

Have they done something to my satelite at the shop or something or do i nee to take it off the menu screen.

[Pajao]

is there something preventing me updating settings?

[maud]

Were is it saying no channels m8,tv or computer

[Pajao]

on the TV and computer

[Pajao]

The satelite would not allow me to use the settings with this loader. I've just tuned some hot bird channels on the sat to remove the language menu for now. I hope to update the sat with these settings

[maud]

Are you showing channels on the sat list on the receiver on tv

[Pajao]

Yes only a few from Hotbird I tuned them in just now.

[maud]

Dont tune in just show channel list

[Pajao]

i'm not connected to the tv where I am

[Pajao]

Its showing france 24 on the sat screen at the moment

[maud]

Are you running fixed dish,usals ,or other.

[Pajao]

I normally run in usals. But I've not even looked at that for now. I have motorised dish

[maud]

First job m8 is set up for usals

[Pajao]

I just wished they would not reset my satelite after repairing it!

[Pajao]

but that would delete all the channels

[maud]

set for usals,scan hotbird and save,open set editor and download box,save to desktop,look on desktop for new channel list and upload to receiver,check and change usals cause they may be different to yours,talk to you later to day if that is okay

where do you live roughly.

[Pajao]

done

[maud]

you say done what does that mean m8.

[Pajao]

When you change to usals it deletes the chanels. I 've started to reload the settings after chaging to usals. we'll see what happens after this. If I keep getting this I'll contact Humax for asistance

[maud]

All I did was change to my usals and scan that is all you should have to do,

[Pajao]

Sorry I think I miss read you. I'e already started to load the setting again after changing to usals. If that does not work than I may have to do thi manually if I an. I miss my satelite.

[maud]

set your receiver to correct usals then do channel search of hotbird,and save.

[Pajao]

I'm too far between the satellite signal/TV and the PC. One up stairs and the main T is down stairs.

This is why i'm making mistakes. I'll do a search on hotbird now and save

[Pajao]

Maud Thanks for now I'll speak to you tomorrow. I working tomorrow morning. I'll follow your last instruction tomorrow and see what happens. I thnk my satelite is refusing the settings.

[maud]

I have some cat5 cable made off to 9 pin D sockets and plugs etc running 10 metres to my computer to enable communication to my box this I have found okay,you must be able to talk to your box whilst it is connected to antenna and tv.

[Pajao]

i'm not at home at present but I've done what you said yesterday by changing it the Usals and searching on Hotbird. When I try to search for another sat it says it will delete whats on the receiver.

I've spoken to Humax today with regards to the receiver. I hope to get an answer soon.

My problems is still not yet solved as I can't see the new channels once uploaded to the reciever.

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

Is it possible that you set it up as fixed antenna/dish?

That might explain why it says it is going to delete everything when you try to look for another sat.


HDCI Manual:

2. Motor Antenna

When using a motor antenna, set the antenna to Motor before performing channel search...

tinto de verano

[Magwitch]

That could explain things. Pajao, Antenna Config will show the Diseqc version (1.0 or 1.2) in your downloaded channel list in Formula.

[Pajao]

Thanks mate. Im back on Shall I remove the fomula and reinstall a new formula file to upload the new settings?

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

If the program you have in your PC is formulaforhd_eu1.01, and you are in Europe, it should be OK. I do not think you need to remove and reinstall.

Now assuming that is the program you have, that you have SatPual's latest list...

Make sure you have configured properly your HDCI2000.

As already expleained, complete the setup.

Make sure you set it up for Motor Antenna (see my previous post, yesterday, 11:23 PM).

Load up Satpauls channel list in Formula (do not add remove any channels, not even radio, just in case).

You could change the USALS info, if you know your location, or change it to Diswq (maybe safer).

If you change anything, save the file with a different name so that you always have SatPaul's original file as you downloaded it from here.

Download the Channel list from Formula/PC to your HDCI2000.

Bear in mind it takes a while, and it does 2 or 3 passses, I seem to remember, so wait till you are completely sure the list has been transferred to the HDCI20000.

Good luck.

I'll check later to see how you are doing.

tinto de verano

[Pajao]

I've removed and install the formula loader, followed your instructions but still no channel list on the receiver. I think there's a problem with the receiver receiving new settings from the loader. Ill complain to Humax to see what they can do. Thanks for your help on this.

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

Sorry to hear you have not succeeded.

Good luck with Humax.

tinto de verano

[maud]

Are you turning the receiver off at the back and on again,does your computer show it is connected and downloading,

[Pajao]

Yes,

But when it end there are no channels. I think there is problems with my Box not receiving the settings & updating the box. I had no problems wirth the Firmware though using the loader from Humax.

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

1) Could it be that there was something wrong whit the downloading of the original channel list file from here to your PC? It might be worth trying and downloading it to your PC again, and start all over again.

If you open the channel list in formula, can you see all the channels in there? Save it with a different name, maybe to the desktop (as suggested by maud, though I never had to do that)

By the way,

2) Could you explain in detail how you are doing it?

What computer/OS?
What program? (Formula)
What cable? RS-232C serial cable? Null modem? Are you using a Serial-USB adaptor?
What steps are you following and what do you see on the computer and on the HDCI200 LED display?
...?

Hopefully, maud, magwitch, mysel or someone else might be able to spot something unusual and give you hand...

Patience.

tinto de verano

[tinto de verano]

Hello again, Pajao,

Here are some old instructions (from somewhere else, from somebody else)I finall y managed to find:

1.Ok first of all reset your receiver to factory setting.
2.Download the Humax channel list.
3.Connect your receiver via null cable to the pc.
4.Turn off your receiver from the back switch.
5.start the formula and upload the file that you just downloaded.
6.Wait till all the channels are uploaded into the formula window on your pc screen.
7.select download to stb
8.Go to your receiver and switch on the power from the back.
9.Channel list begins downloading to your receiver the minute you turn on the power switch from the back of the receiver.

Good luck.

tinto de verano

[satpaul]

Make sure you have version 16 firmware in before installing list also I will update it for new ITV HD channels on 10832H

[tinto de verano]

By the way, Satpaul,

Thanks for your list, first of all.

If using FW 16, are there any issues with (HD) channels using SR 30000?

I did downgrade to FW 11 lomg time ago to get those High Frequency Channesl on Thor (not currently available anymore)... and I am still using a FW 15 (not 11, sorry) Laurals (modified by me now and then) list...

No issues with the recently available HD CSat channels?

Oh, what new ITV HD channels? I need to investigate.

THANKS.

tinto de verano

[Magwitch]

Hi tinto

Yes, FW16 picks up SR 30000s OK (well it does on mine).

Can't clear those HD channels. No problem with other receivers I have. As mentioned, it's probably the high bit-rate that the Humax can't process.

[Magwitch]

Sorry, I was thinking of the Bulsat HD channels on 39E. CSat 19E channels OK.

[tinto de verano]

Hi Magwitch,

So, you are saying you CANNOT pick up the Bulsat HD channels on 39E?

And that is because you are using FW 16?

I can pick those using FW 11.

In could be the same issue then as with the Thor HD channels, SR 30000 that I could not get (when Diablo cleared them) with FW 16, but managed to see them when I downgraded to FW 11.

Have a look, for example, at post #12 in this old thread:

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=98785&highlight=HDCI+2000+30000


And you can also find some more info on post #4 in this old thread:

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=95099&highlight=downgrade

tinto de verano

[Magwitch]

No, I can scan in the Bulsat HD channels with FW 16, but there's no video (I'm using a Diablo 2 CAM and ipnosys 12).

[tinto de verano]

Hi Magwitch,

I am also using, Diablo 2, Ipnosys 12, Humax HDCI2000 but FW 11:

I can scan, listen to and watch the the Bulsat HD channels. They clear perfectly OK.

Going back to those Thor HD channels, when I had FW 16, I could scan them but I would get a black screen they would not clear. I do not remember if there was sound or not, probably not. Sorry. But when I downgraded to FW 11, they cleared. Shame Diablo does not clear them anymore.

Thanks again.

tinto de verano

[Magwitch]

Yes, we lost some good stuff on Thor. However, I'm happy enough to have the CSAT channels now, so I'll stay with FW 16. Not too bothered with the Bulsats as I can watch them on my DM8000.

[tinto de verano]

So, it looks to me as if, for people who do not have varius recievers but only an old HDCI2000... it would still make sense to downgrade from FW 16 to FW 11 to make sure they can get all (HD) SR 30000 channels now and/or in the future.

Bear ni mind though, that there might be some incompatibilities between FW 11 and channel lists based on other FW.

But maybe that only happened with FW 7 and/or 8. It might not be an issue now.

In fact, I have FW 11 on my HDC2000 and I am using an old channel list based on FW 15.

That channel list was OK when I upgraded to FW 16, and it did not have any issues when I downgraded to FW 11.

Or something along those lines.

Thanks.

tinto de verano

[Pajao]

I've upgraded to FW16 once I received the box back from Humax. I then used Formula to upload the settings but with no luck.

I've removed and reloaded a new formula also with no luck. I've followed all the instrauctions to load. It shows the settings has been loaded but still no channels on the box. Only the language menu is shown.

I'll try using your instaructions again tonight when I get home and see what happens.
Another words, I'll reset to factory settings and reload the settings by Satpaul.

I'm so baffled by this because It was working O.K before I sent the box to Humax to be repaired.

[Pajao]

tinto de verano

I use the Null Cable to do the uploads and downloads required. You've all been really helpful here. I'll certainly try again. Will I need to reload the FW16 again after factory reset?

[Pajao]

Humax are looking at the issue for me as i belive its a receiver problems anayway.

Thanks.

[Pajao]

I'm now going to try one more time. I've just reset the reciever and re downloaded the setting, called it a new name while in the formula system. I'll now follow your instructions above and see what happens.

[Pajao]

Or shall I change my FW to 11 instead of the 16 thats currently on the box?

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

Sorry it is still not working...

Well, it lookas asi if you want to see the Bullsat HD SR 30000 channels (and maybe other) you will not be able to with FW 16, but you will with FW 11.

It might also be worth trying to downgrade to FW 11 in case something did not go as it should when upgrading to FW 16.

It is worth a try.

Here we are, trying to help, in the same way we received hel in the past.

Thaks to all the people who try to help.

Good luck.

tinto de verano

[Pajao]

Thanks. I've now downgraded to Fw11 can I still use the settings from sat Paul with the formula?

[tinto de verano]

Hi Pajao,

Yes, try it. I am hoping there will be no incompatibilities (meaning all sats will be correct).

Fingers crossed.

Let's hope this is the time you get it right.

GOOD LUCK.
