Humax IR-ACE M User Manual

The HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product-incorporating one of the
best software applications.
Whenever a problem is found with this software or extra functions or enhanced
applications are added, the software in the equipment must be upgraded.
In order to maintain correct product performance, it is essential to have the most
Up-to-date software. The latest news and releases on software versions may be found at
the HUMAX website - http://www.humaxdigital.com.
It is recommended that users register with HCSA (HUMAX Customer Service Area) and
periodically check the availability of software upgrade.

There are three methods for upgrading the software:
(a) set-top box to set-top box download (copies the software from the main unit into the slave

unit);

(b) PC to set-top box download (downloads the software directly from the PC to the model

requiring upgrading);

decide when and where to release via the satellite system).

Over The Air (OTA) is simply another alternative for downloading software versions.
However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software
upgrade takes place by "beaming" the latest software versions over the air via satellite
systems. Note that OTA is limited to certain geographical regions only, mainly due to
different satellites having different footprints (areas where the signal can be received).

SUSS (TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA.
The software upgrade via the satellite system can only occur under the following
circumstances:
1) the equipment should have appropriate loader software;
2) the manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated satellite

system;

3) the equipment must be properly "tuned" to the same satellite as the one used by the

manufacturer.
