[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 121710, member: 176256"] Spiney It's not Paces which have a problem in fringe areas, it's the Panasonics. I haven't any personal experience of this (no Pannies at all you see) but it's just what I've observed written both here and on other boards. IIRC it arises due to the slight differences between the software for the different boxes. On the Panny the SW update takes up more than one bank thus taking away the backup of the previous version. If the update doesn't go perfectly then you end up with a useless box which needs the EEPROM to be removed so that it can be flashed properly. This is the reason why Pannies are no longer popular in fringe areas. Which is a shame as they are reasonably sensitive and quite fast. As I say, this is all second hand so I could be being led down the garden path on a wild goose chase (to mix a metaphor or two). :D PaulR [/QUOTE]
