    I have just received the new update on my one of my boxes, Blue button trick gone, but I now can tune HD channels including ITV 2,3, & 4.

    All images that come for these boxes are already written, you don't need to write any code. My brother in law after seeing my setup got his from tvtrade i think. It came with an open pli image but he wanted the image i was using as it most resembles sly.

    Lost already !

    Maybe if you disable your Broadband connection overnight, it may not update,

    I Bought a Freesat recorder box last Friday & I think that was the best option I could take.

    Disabling the broadband won't stop the update as it is sent over the air, so there is no way to avoid it when it arrives.When you do get it you can roll it back to the old epg but only temporarily.

    How do you do that?

    When you do get the new update just do a forced update and it will revert back to the old version.

    Unplug the box. While holding down the backup button on the box, plug the box back in.

    How long is it likely to last?

    Sorry I don't understand your question. Do you mean how long is the old version on the dl stream? Usually about a month in case any bugs need to be ironed out in the new epg.

    Yes and news isn't good. Box just reboots when card is swapped. Tried a few times now without any luck.

    That's bad news indeed. Are BBC 3 and 4 in HD on the new epg?

    Which card are you using a blue one or a white one? Although it probably won't make any difference.

    I wonder did Sky know about this 'trick' and acted on it! Maybe some brainiac will come up with a way around it. I am going to miss recording the dramas from ITV Encore and ITV1! :(

    What happens? Does the uk epg load from the CI card and it just reverts to the Irish epg? Did you try the blue button favourites trick?

    I wonder if any particular region card will still work,I have an ITV Central and an STV card.Will have to try both when the update arrives or just roll back the software by the forced update method to the previous software.

    The missus informed me that utv is gone from the epg. I'll try it with both my itv London and my UTV cards. Not looking good unfortunately. I wonder will we get a reprieve when utv Ireland launches in the new year. Tbh it won't bother me in the least most of the stuff on itv is rubbish. Any of the decent dramas can be downloaded copied to a flash drive and watched on the TV.

    I suppose that can be done but I would rather record like any other channel,from the epg.Hopefully UTVI will also bring the other ITV channels onto the Irish epg,I really love ITV Encore!
