Hi Pete,

thanks for you help, it seems tha after another reimage process it all works fine, so i cant figure that out, but hey it all running now.

seems channel daata etc has come down okay witht eport 800 emulator, only trouble im having now is that it e you seen this behavavseem that i can only use live tv on one channel, for the others it brings up the typical tivo error message that usually flicks up two r three times in a few seconds before it actually shows the one channel that does show in live tv. It says that there maybe a connection problem, check your cables, your aerial and try plugging in directly or rebooting the tivo... which of course makes no difference...

have you seen this behaviour?

cheers, and again many thanks for your assistance!
