Hello everyone!

Finally had my V+ installed today but have one problem (well two to be honest)

1. The installer told me he had the boxes but no remotes! So he gave a samsung type and said a v+ would come in the post in a few days.
The problem, cant setup to use hdmi as the confirm screen requires you to press the 'text' button on the remote. The samsung unit must have a different code for its text key.
Would anyone know if one of the other samsung remote keys would send the correct code?

2. THE BIG PROBLEM. The V+ has that hdd problem where it doesnt spin down in standby.
I dont want to phone it in as the box I got is a silver tvdrive with the virgin softwre. The online light stays on! I have all the channels working and the on demand works! Recording also works fine via the front panel controls.

So basically its just the continous low whine of the hard drive thats starting to get really annoying but do I risk calling up and maybe getting a black box as a replacement!

I remember reading about this problem before but I cany find the posts now. Was there a solution found?

Any help or advice would be most welcome!
