[QUOTE="billnot, post: 415279, member: 176016"] That's unfortunate for you. For a Pace 2600, being on version 3.2.11 does NOT cause problems with the EPG, nor with the use of a card. However, updating the box is a right PITA because the update stream for such old software is seldom broadcast by Sky, and the box has to catch it at the right moment. The reason I know this is that I've had (and sold) several 2600s with 3.2.11 software, telling the purchaser than one day it will update - and eventually it does. But, to repeat, that software version does not prevent full functioning of the box. It is very rare you come across a duff 2600. I'm afraid you may be one of those rare cases. I have bought well over 100 Pace 2600 boxes, maybe 30 of them on Ebay, and I've only ever had one duff one (and one rogue seller, but that's another matter) All you can do is to leave the box connected and turned on ready for the next 3.2.11 to 3.5.3 update, which could be tonight or in 6 months' time, and hope for the best. You have my sympathy, but, alas, no real answers.:( [/QUOTE]
