SelectTV LNB Skew

[glassy]

I had the same problem. I sent the card back and still no result. Then I cleaned the card and inserted in and out several times and bingo it at worked. Good luck

[ozusenet.info]

go into the ca info and see if the cam is reporting card details. report back what it reads but not the serial number

It says...
Version: V5.3
Nationality: AUS
Serial Number: ##########

# Although its only showing 10 digits and my card serial number is 11 digits.

Done that several times, but selecttv might not work with a Humax IRCI-5400

With the Strong contacts down.
With the Humax contacts up.
ALSO THE CARD CONTACTS ARE TO THE REAR OF THE BOX

When the card is inserted correctly that's when it says error 16, the card has no rights to this service.

One other thing to point out if it means anything?

With available networks it shows...

S
STV
SELECT
ERT

With channels like PGM, ANT1 Pacific, ERT World, RFS TV, Fashion TV, etc

my 5400z works fine with select

maybe its a firmware issue being a 500 and not a z

Do you know anywhere that people with old Humax's can check to see if they are running the latest firmware available and download it if not?

Ah coool thanks.

One question, I found my old serial cable to program my Humax but I forgot how to boot it in programming mode?

Anyone know?

[EDIT} No matter, found this

I have Humax 5400, 5400Z, 5410Z and IR-ACE, the only one that won't work properly on Select is the IR-ACE, It runs for about 10 minutes the goes blank for 10 minutes.

The 54XX series boxes work perfectly.

Hope this helps.

G'Day again Cobber,
I've got to ask the obvious. Are you still having trouble with the Humax?
Are you using the correct cable for loading? You need a Null Modem Cable, not a straight through RS 323 Cable.



I realise that you said you used it before, but check it's connections.
We'll see if we can help from there.

I'm not sure on the wiring of the cable as a friend did that for me ages ago, but it did work at the time.

My main concern is that I am using the right *.hdf file to patch the humax. If you go to that site that has them it is a little confusing for someone that doesn't do it all the time. The last time I did it was way back when the last official version was released.

G'Day,
You're right, it is a little confusing. I do hope that I've selected the right ones. Contains both Boot Loader and Firmware. You may need to be more specific with your model identification.


I'm still worried whether you have the correct Null Modem Cable.
If you have a multi meter, is easy to check.
There are some cables that do not have the full 9 wires with crossovers as shown above. They may work, but often cause problems.

Thanks heaps for the file :-)

I do have a correct Null Modem Cable.

I just tried to update the humax and it came back with the following error..

ERROR-Id

No idea what that means?

Using HDFsmart 1.8 to program it on winxp

Hi Glenn,
I'm not too sure whether you are using the right loader program.
I think we may need advice from a Humax Guru.
