I wonder if it would be cheaper for you to buy another HD receiver in Europe - that would be more versatile

erm...28 degrees east I think !! I think Aldi are operating in italy - They sell FTA receivers.

Strikes me that something like a technomate would be a lot more versatile because of the patches available -this would of course depend upon whether you wanted to fit a multi LNB or a motor.

That's what I thought had happened - but all that had really happened was that my previously recorded programmes gained from PPV/subscription were inaccessible = newly recorded from FTA stayed as was. Interesting .....

so - are you folks saying that your PVR function has ended? If that's the case, I wonder why mine has not.

Indeed - I did mean HD The PVR function still works as it always did. I have no subscription - cancelled last August. I keep the box as a PVr (and for C4HD for now). The rest comes in through a motorised Zone 2 dish feeding my TM 1500 and TM6800HD. The latter has a Seagate Freeagent 500gb hdd...

Actually, my sky DH pvr still works perfectly !!

This is a cut/paste from another forum but itapparently works - use the NDF editor and.... a. tune in so you get Brit Shorts etc b. take a copy of NDF c. goto transponder 11.428 H d. Make name ITV HD e. Set up channel Service ID: 0x290e Service Type TV PMT PID [leave blank] PCR PID...
