If you are doing without sky/have realised that it's a joke/all the good stuff gets to freeview eventually, suggest you get a Humax 9200T PVR. It's basically a sky+ box for freeview. You create your own tv channel, spool through the 7-day epg clicking on anything that you like. After that, you never watch a programme live again, just select from the list of stored progs (up to 100 hrs), fast click through adverts etc You can 'chase watch' stuff that's recording and you can record 2 channels and watch a third (or a stored prog) at the same time - it's bloody brilliant.

Im still using an On-Digital box, that never had any listings AFAIK.

HTHOriginally posted by DennyThanks for your advice SP and TLG. It worked. Now I can see in more detail that the entire list of programmes are still tulipe and not worth watching.
That's what I call value added advice

I have one of those. As I said above. Try selecting the update software option too.Originally posted by DennyI've got a Sony box. I got it about 18 months ago for about 90 quid or thereabouts. It was considered the best on the market at the time.
Thanks

I agree with socky.
Most boxes get updates for listings, sometimes software via the ether. It regularly ****s up. Reboot. You may need to re-tune too.

Try restarting the box (i.e. unplug for an hour) and go from there.
