Note Note: This page has been updated to detail the instructions for the Customised Firmware version 1.14 and above - that firmware will be released in the next few days.

If it is not practical to connect your Humax box to the Internet via a cable or wireless, then software packages can be loaded onto the Humax by placing them onto a USB Disk. The packages themselves can be downloaded from http://hummypkg.org.uk/packages.html. Each package is available for download as an individual file or as a bundle. A bundle contains the package itself along with all of its dependencies, and is the recommended way to install software.

Installation Steps

Package files end in .opk and bundle files end in .opb
  • Place the files in the root directory (top-level folder) of your USB disk;
  • Make sure the Humax is on and running normally;
  • Plug the USB disk into a USB port.
The disk light will flash while the software is being installed;
The TV may show a menu relating to accessing media on the disk which can be safely ignored (press Exit to dismiss);
  • A log relating to the software installation will be created on the disk, named opkg_install.log.
