Just spent half an hour rewiring the ever more complicated satellite system and Ive now got the trusty old Echostar 3000 IPVA permanently wired up so I can watch the demise of the 19E analogue channels. The menu system is a bit cumbersome after the Linux boxes, but the channel lists have all been updated, the dead channels have been deleted and we are good to go.

I had curious delight in seeing a channel loaded with sparklies again! (Probably caused by damaged cabling which will be replaced one warm weekend in the spring)

Really? I seem to remember someone berating the VU+ menu system for it's complexity......don't say it's worse than that!!
