Hi lads and lasses

Well here's an update on my TVDrive that's been installed for about a month now

For:-

Quality it's far better than the old PACE and Samsungs
HD I've put this in this part because it is better
TV guide quicker
TVdrive recording beats my video any day
Can control the sound from the STB remote found my set instantly
Can record TVD content to DVD or VCR

Against

The box does do some strange things at times it's slow guide freezes doesn't record what it should but I suppose when the software updates these glitches will be sorted out

The sleep feature have to start the box by clicking ok when I put my TV on first thing (bit picky I know but so what)

Limited HD content come on Richard sort it out with Murdoch althtough I see Discovery HD may be coming

The fact I can now record things to the TV drive means I don't get a look in now as my wife and daughter have found how to use it and are recording stuff like there's no tomorrow

No Golf Channel as on Sky

Unable to use favorites as the old STB where you set the faves and it would put all the unsuscribed content to the bottom of the pile Favorites isn't too bad though

And finally Chris Howell one for you

How can I hear the TV channels on my video but can't view the channels?

Is it because I'm connected on a HDMI cable or is my setup to the VCR wrong?
