What does the Customised firmware allow me to do?

Add extra or enhanced features to your Humax HDR FOX T2 and HD FOX T2, Some features will add 'Every Day' enhancements such as Add to recording schedule remotely, Add more sites to the Humax Portal and Auto Unprotection of Hi-Def programs, While other utilities are for advanced developers. A full list can be found on the Features Available Page.

What will happen if / when Humax transmits an Over-the-air (OTA) update?

The customised software will be overwritten. Any services installed by the customised software will become dormant. Any files on the hard disk that were created with the customised software will remain in place and will be accessible when a new version of the customised software is applied on top of the OTA version.

How can I compile software to run on the Humax?

Have a look at the Compile Software for the Humax and Create Packages HOW-TOs.

Which WiFi Dongle?

There are a few to chose from including Humax's own, However the best value model is probably the Edimax EW-7711UAN at £11 from Amazon, PLEASE NOTE Not all Edimax Dongles work with the Humax e.g. the 7612 does not work, So please ensure you get the correct item
