    Hi all - just got the Digi last night - great job. However, can't get Slysports2 no matter how many scans i do!! I'm in an ex-Nthell area in Belfast. I have searched through the TV409 etc channels but cant find it either! Can anyone suggest a manual frequency in which i can scan for it?

    Also - i'm puzzled by the aspect ratio - when i switch to the widescreen format on my 37" lcd it basically gives a widescreen picture floating in the middle of the screen with large bars around ALL sides - is there any way to correct this? I have zoomed in to 'cinema' mode on my lcd but the pic becomes v blocky and pixellated at this point.

    Cheers in advance!

    try freq : 411.000
    Also in user setup change the letterbox to full screen and see how that goes for you !

    If that dont work try autoscan with these settings: (net ID) 00021 ( FREQ ) 755.000 (Symbol rate ) 6.887

    thanks mainamn...got nearly all the channels scanned in eventually....131 tv channels im missing a couple that I can live without and also got some new ones scanned in...I can safely say I'm very happy with the new firmware!....no more of that annoying scrambled message that dogged my screen every now and again....plus channels are in sensible numerical order starting at 1!

    Cheers for the help - got slysports2 finally tuned in - but still disappointed in the whole widescreen issue!

    I was expecting my lcd to display the progs that are output in 16:9 in proper widescreen. No matter what i do, it's not right. Basically (and correct me if im wrong) - it appears that the Digi always thinks it's outputting to a 4:3 tv, and when i press the aspect ratio button on the remote it basically still thinks its outputting to a 4:3 tv but letterboxes it (but still within the confines of a 4:3 tv - like watching sky digi widescreen on a 4:3 tv) to show all the picture? So confused - is this the only way the digi has of displaying widescreen?

    I have tried changing settings in the setup menu...

    I think so mate..
    It also depends on what way the channel itself sends the broadcast.
    ie, widescreen or standard.

    Has anyone here ever updated the Firmware using a USB to Serial RS232 cable instead of directly into a Serial port... because mine won't work for me. When its connected, it's detected and registered as a COM port (COM4) and when I select it, just nothing happens.

    Maybe its Vista causing the prob???
