<Ollie> wrote: » No can't get menus. It only comes on for around 3 seconds and switches itself off again. If only I could find a null cable now.
STB wrote: » Yes I thought so. You need to follow the instructions! Can you still get into the menus using the remote?

PatchZ wrote: » Hello all, One problem I have noticed is that if I hit the STOP button when playing or recording then the HDMI drops out and the TV returns to its own channels. I can switch off HDMI control and it stops doing this but I do like the one button switch on. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour at all? It could be the TV or the cable but just checking if anyone else has this issue? Using latest firmware 1.20B1 Thanks a lot.

Only negative is that it will place the Saorview channels at the high end of the channel numbers, so you either need to move them to lower down, or remember that they are "down" from say Channel 0001, or put them in a DTV & Sat list or something.

As always make sure not to power down the box during the flash burn. The box then reboots itself and away you go. Be aware though that you will be back to default settings which includes the loss of previously programmed channels.
