    If you change channel to one that is not currently transmitting, a dialog box opens asking if you wish to "Tune Previous Ch?". If you select "No" you are returned to the previous screen, which might be the Live TV menu or TV Guide - depending on where you were before watching TV.

    This means that you can't easily try the next channel and is quite odd behaviour compared to other TV devices.

    Ideally, it should just being up a screen saying 'No Transmission Detected' or something similar and leave it up to the user to navigate to another channel of their choice. (This is the way all domestic PVRs work).

    There's a new TSWriter.ax in the forthcoming release, with this have noticed following change.

    BBC 3 & 4 Now get the channel closed screens that you get on normal freeview STB's.

    Others have to check but will add, once i've sorted my new XP setup, garden to inviting at 26C :)

    That's encouraging - many thanks.
