Thanks Terry, I have contacted HP regarding update and will certainly do
that, However I am not sure if that will sort my problem?
Perhaps you can confirm a couple of things.
1. When I go through the setup proceedure and get to the "Choose a working
channel" stage, all i can get to show are the normal TV channels ie
BBC1,2,ITV1,2,channel4&5. Is this right? (none of the freeview channels)
2. I cannot change channel on the freeview box using the MCE remote after
configeration or the freeview set top box remote. Is that right?
I dont know, but i think something is, or i am doing something
fundermentally wrong
Any comments would be great
regards Eddie
