If you have the older firmware, you may be used to the Digibox messing up channel updates so that programme information appears to go 'missing' as well as entire channels (including those you were just watching) becoming 'unavailable' when you try to select them, and also the box getting stuck 'Searching for listings' when you try to view the EPG.
All of these problems appear to have been cured in the newer firmware! Yay!
If you are not certain that your signal is good enough, just hook up your box and watch TV. You may discover at some stage the box will reset itself (typically in the middle of something you're watching! A quick flick to the system status and you'll see the new firmware has been installed 'in the background'.


I 'won' a pace box a while back on that favourite auction site and had similar problems to you. I just left the box connected and eventually it updated. From memory, I left it on Sky News overnight and that did the trick. __________________

there is a serious problem with the HD boxes its the psu that needs changing its the capacitors sending an ac signal to the lnb wiping low band channels out this can be done using new panasonic parts which are good for about 3/5 years.
