Hi, Like you say, altering settings in the TV works ok. Changing the STB settings is ok to tweak things so that changing from one STB to another keeps a sensibly constant picture quality. Looks like I was a bit hasty returning the second box. It'll be interesting to see what the have done to...

BTW, no problems so far with recording. Tried 2 different HHDs on rear USB and a small HDD (Acer MP330 MP3 player) and 8GB memory stick on front USB. No problems.

Hi! Not adjusted the TV contrast, just the settings in the STBs. We've been watching this evening with the original (first) STB and with the settings we chose just after receiving the box I notice some evidence of scintillation in the black for the subtititles and credits. But the TV settings...

Hi! Being a newbie, I hate to ask the obvious, but where do I find what version firmware is in my Passion+ STB. I've search the forums/net and can't find anything and browsing through the STB menus do seem to show me the version. I suspect I'm going to be embarassed as no-one else seems to...
