If you have more than one Humax HDR Fox-T2 on the same network and use the Content Sharing (DLNA Server) feature, you may wish to change the name that they use to advertise themselves on the network. The following instructions take you through the process of modifying a customised firmware update file to change the name. The commands are all run on the Humax itself.

Gain telnet access to your Humax command prompt

Follow the instructions [Telnet|on this page]

Once you have connected to the Humax command line then you will see a prompt that looks like

humax#

The commands in the following sections show this prompt for context but you should not type it.

Install the required packages

This process uses several packages which may not already be installed on your Humax:

  • humidify
  • squashfs-tools
  • bsed

Since you're already at the command prompt, you can just install them using the opkg command:

humax# opkg install humidify squashfs-tools bsed
