FAQ

Why isn’t teletext or the red button on the remote control working?
Teletext, also known as Ceefax, has been phased out as part of the UK’s Digital Switchover. Unfortunately, they are no longer available and have been replaced by interactive or on-demand services, such as BBC iPlayer. These services require an active internet connection, which can be accessed by pressing the red button on a BBC channel or through the on-demand section. For further information on the red button, please refer to this BBC help page.
My unit fails to connect with WiFi although I have full signal.
If you have problems with the box not connecting to your home Wi-Fi, please try the following:

  1. Turn the Humax Box off with the remote or the button on the front of the box
  2. Unplug the Humax Box from the mains
  3. Power down and then unplug the Broadband Hub/Router from the mains
  4. Leave the Broadband Hub/Router off for 5 minutes
  5. Plug the Broadband Hub/Router back in at the mains and switch the power on
  6. Wait another 5 minutes and plus the Humax Box back in and switch on. Then with the remote or the button on the front of the box power it on.
Advanced Configuration

If after performing these steps and you do not have access to internet services, it may be blocked by a strict firewall. Check your modem/router settings and if required, add the Humax box as an exception with full access.

You may also need to ensure that the following ports are opened on your router for the Humax Box.

HTTP: 80
HTTP: 8080
SSL: 443

Check your WiFi Security Key Type

If you are not seeing the router/hub and cannot connect then the issue could be caused by the default WiFi encryption protocol on the router. Make sure that the Hub is set to "WPA" auto or "WPA-PSK"(Tkip). If the box is unable to connect then you would need to try the router on WEP temporarily to rule out any WiFi security issues. You may need to have your ISP walk you through the process of changing either the port information or the WiFi protocol.
