Thanks Pete.

I am not too concerned about guide data yet so I am happy to let the box think it is in the US and download that. The box states that it still has an active subscription, not too sure what it will do with that.

I have used both S2's and S1's in the US with video cameras and they both worked fine without a guide. The S2 I used was just sitting on the pool deck without a phoneline. It gave error messages to say that the guide was not up to date but operated fine with a live input.

As soon as I have a go with the ,#401 bypass I will let you know.

Thanks.
