@MAINAMN
How necessary is the firmware upgrade, should my current version work? Because I tried scanning a load of times on all frequencys and even enabled EMU with the keys recently posted... but I'm not picking up anything at all.
How can I know for sure that the feed I have is NTL?
When its connected to the TV directul, I get TV3, BBC1, and BBC2 and about 8 other channels I can hear clearly but are lined out (scrambled like).

Hi auggie. First u have to make sure that you have 'cable'!
Are you subscribed to any. ie, n*l basic etc. ( check your last bill )
You may only have terrestrial tv. U need cable to use digivox .

I just assumed it was NTL because I've seen those white NTL boxes everywhere.

They may have cancelled the cable subscription though.
U can see if u are getting a signal by pressing' sig ' on your remote when the digivox is on . it should read ** %

No I mean when I connect the NTL cable to the analogue in the TV itself (no digivox connected at all) I get the scrambed channels.
I'm in Dunshaughlin County Meath.

Try plugging the digivox in and find a scrambled Channel and see if u get a signal..
Is there a square mesh aerial on your roof ?
If there is, it is mmds and not cable !

Ok mate.
Had a feeling I needed NTL fitted, any idea on how long it would take?
Also, if I get NTL and cancel, will I still have the feed to work with the digivox?

dont know how long they will take to get out to u , but when they do it wont take long , maybe half hour to hook u up !
You need the basic cable to view these boxes so u cant cancel it.
like i said just purchase the basic digital !

Hi all - just got the Digi last night - great job. However, can't get Slysports2 no matter how many scans i do!! I'm in an ex-Nthell area in Belfast. I have searched through the TV409 etc channels but cant find it either! Can anyone suggest a manual frequency in which i can scan for it?
Also - i'm puzzled by the aspect ratio - when i switch to the widescreen format on my 37" lcd it basically gives a widescreen picture floating in the middle of the screen with large bars around ALL sides - is there any way to correct this? I have zoomed in to 'cinema' mode on my lcd but the pic becomes v blocky and pixellated at this point.
Cheers in advance!

Cheers for the help - got slysports2 finally tuned in - but still disappointed in the whole widescreen issue!
I was expecting my lcd to display the progs that are output in 16:9 in proper widescreen. No matter what i do, it's not right. Basically (and correct me if im wrong) - it appears that the Digi always thinks it's outputting to a 4:3 tv, and when i press the aspect ratio button on the remote it basically still thinks its outputting to a 4:3 tv but letterboxes it (but still within the confines of a 4:3 tv - like watching sky digi widescreen on a 4:3 tv) to show all the picture? So confused - is this the only way the digi has of displaying widescreen?
I have tried changing settings in the setup menu...

I think so mate..
It also depends on what way the channel itself sends the broadcast.
ie, widescreen or standard.

Has anyone here ever updated the Firmware using a USB to Serial RS232 cable instead of directly into a Serial port... because mine won't work for me. When its connected, it's detected and registered as a COM port (COM4) and when I select it, just nothing happens.
Maybe its Vista causing the prob???
