    thanks for your reply

    But i have a STARVIEW THE BOX. the problem is on the remote conrol there are no buttons for the letter input. the NORMAL STARVIEW uses the coloured buttons for a,b,c,d etc. it is frustrating as i can change the numbers ok just can not find the buttons ( if any ) on the starview The box remote.

    To enter keys on Star PVR go to Menu>system settings>parental control, now pres I then 2007 you will get CAS menu, enter codes in nagravision, if after pressing I + 2007 does work 1st time try again a little slower, the menus dont like quick fingur action.

    Hope this helps

    Hi thanks again

    But the problem is not gaining access to the menu. i can do that no problem. it is which buttons on the remote to change the hex letters

    i can change the Numerical ones ok, like i said earlier i on my STARVIEW (the normal one not the THE BOX PVR) i use the coloured buttons to change the letters. bu tcan not find what ones to use on the box PVR!

    if you look on the number keys, there are letters, press them keys untill you get the desired letter (e.g 1 is also A,B & C)

    HI Tsingh

    here ya go

    To put keys in manualy do as follows.

    press menu
    press 1570. this takes you into secret menu
    Hit ok on nagravision
    and change both keys 00, and key 01

    Make sure your cable provider is listed at top NTL or TELEWEST C&W CHORUS ect you have to only input keys for your provider
    To change between the 2 keys
    highlight key number press right and left
    When changed hit ok (To store) after each one..


    (YOU MUST SAVE EACH KEY INDIVIDUALLY - I.E. AFTER CHANGING KEY 00 MAKE SURE
    YOU STORE BEFORE CHANGING KEY 01 (TO STORE PRESS OK)after this make sure your emu is turned on then go to a paid channel and should update

    HI

    yes the box PVR, will record one and record another. Make sure the cables are connected correctly.

    I have heard that the BOX SUPER is a better box. I am not happy with the EPG on mine. and waiting on a firmware to fix this.

    I am sure it will work in your area but make sure by asking your supplier.

    :)

    Starview The box PVR, has a dual tuner so it is fine for what you are watching, and if you are cable digital, and I'm pretty sure you are, then yes again, as regards the EPG, it has never been the bee's knee's on the Starview range.

    Malci Could You Recommend A STB That Has The Ability To Record One And Watch Another, Which Has The Best EPG...

    Why don't you just update your box with the latest fix, then you would not need to ask for anything like that.
