If it has the new software, go to services, then move over to the spanner, then down to the bottom menu, then do the 4,0,1,select.

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean "spanner"?
When i press services it opens a menu with tabs and as i go through them underneath open other tabs with settings.
Can you please tell me where i need to go?
I can probably list you all the tabs when i return home if that will help you...
Thanks again!!!

He means a spanner symbol displayed on the top of screen under services tab.

It worked like a charm!!! I used 12051.
New question now. From what i understand the skybox downloaded the complete channel listing regardless of what i can get.
Is there a way for me to check what i can really get prior to activating my card? I wouldn't want to have to pay a whole years' subscription for a couple of channels....
Thanks again


Edit: I forgot to mention that not all is solved. For some reason it only recognizes signal on one tuner even though both are connected... Go figure....
