4Humax PVR-9200TCopy files from Humax PVR 9200T to PC

Published by & filed under Freeview, Misc Media Software. Last updated .

I own a couple of Humax PVT-9200T dual freeview PVRs, both of which are now quite full with recor­ded pro­grams.  Humax have provided a pro­gram called eLinker, but it isn’t very good.  A good altern­at­ive is Humax Media Con­trol­ler but unfor­tu­nately it does­n’t work with Win­dows x64, as Mike Dim­mick explains.  Thank­fully, Mike has also cre­ated a solu­tion by patch­ing some of the files, so that Humax Media Con­trol­ler can now be used suc­cess­fully in Win­dows 7 x64.  The only issue is that Win­dows must be booted with Driver Sign­ing Enforce­ment disabled.

I’m try­ing to loc­ate a copy of the soft­ware mike cre­ated to sup­port Win­dows x64 (HumaxPVR.zip).…the down­load link on his Blog­ger page is no longer func­tion­al …it is a very old piece of soft­ware now.
Should any­one be able to point me in the dir­ec­tion of a copy, I’d appre­ci­ate it.

Jon, Thanks for the files.
Unfor­tu­nately I don’t seem to be able to get the cor­rect driver to install.
I’m bypassing the unsigned driver pro­tec­tion and am offered HumaxSTBAlternate.inf as the driver installer .…but the driver installed by this is described as writ­ten by ‘Humax STB’ ver­sion 0.1.12.1 20/3/2007
I get a device con­nec­tion error on run­ning Humax.bat

Hi Roger
That is frus­trat­ing. I assume you’re on win­dows 10 or 11? This was from the Win­dows 7 days so that might be the issue. It sounds like the cor­rect driver is installing — the inf file was cre­ated by Humax and mod­i­fied by Mike D but still shows as ver­sion 0.1.12.1 as you say.
I assume you’ve con­nec­ted the humax to the com­puter with a USB cable and then installed the driver for the “unknown device” or whatever the humax shows up as?
There are instruc­tions here for how to use the drivers — http://www.enigma.eclipse.co.uk/humax/HumaxMediaController.htm
Make sure you’ve rebooted with driver sign­ing enforce­ment turned off first (which is quite faffy on win 10 i believe) — tips on how to do that here — https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/permanent-disable-driver-signature-verification/009c3498-bef8-4564-bb52-1d05812506e0
