    Try updating the Software first!

    Make sure it's the bottom slot and card the correct way round ! :)

    Unplug from mains
    hold in backup button(on box, not remote) while reconnecting mains plug
    keep holding till TV screen shows it's updating.
    let go
    Wait!
    (You need SCART connection to TV, RF won't work).

    My digibox doesn't output ANYTHING on RF when doing an update. It's off. This certianly used to be the case on all digiboxes.

    Also some places 68 is TG4.

    When updating the software, the box rf is reverted back to channel 68, when its finished updating the software it will return it to whatever the end user had previously specified, I never knew this myself until I was tuning in a tv once while waiting for it to boot up and got a clash...
