    Press menu and system info to verify that 4.50 has successfully flashed to the box.

    Press menu and system info bet it still says 4.54, BTW more bad news you say you are in Maynooth it may not work there either way. As most of the area is still only analogue and other areas are fed by a communal MMDS feed from Ch**us, sorry.

    No it does say 4.50 but it may be the old type feed. I did ask N*l to instal their digital service but they said it was not available in this area. Thanks for all your help anyway. Hope you get rewarded in some way for the help ur giving people. Think I'll have to flog the box and go back to paying S&y way over the odds.
