Hi all,

I have a General Instruments CFT 2100 anologue stb which works ok but is cosmetically damaged. I have been given a second hand identical unit and was hoping to simply replace the old one with the second hand one that I have aquired. I am no techie (so please excuse my ignorance!!!!) but will this work???

Not sure if its relevant, but the replacement box I have was previously working in a different region to me. It also goes up to channel 127, whereas mine only goes up to 45.

Any advice, greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Ps I did phone NTL to ask if they could supply a replacement and they said they are not available anymore.
