I hava a Dion set top box which I bought at Christmas. It has been fine until last night. I was watching TV when it suddenly changed to "Heart Radio". Now it will not accept any channel I try to watch. I have turned it off at the mains and back on again but nothing changes. Any advise anyone??

Re-scan it.

Thanks Keithp. Being a blond and home alone it was a little tricky but working now. Thanks:)

I've just got one of these, only to find out there are no jacks for connecting it to an AV. Any way to work around this with scart?

If you just need phono sockets then something like this

If you need through scart and phono then something like this

Yes they do cost more than the digibox ! but you can pick them up in poundshops or Aldi for a lot less than Maplin.

I have just started using a Dion Freeview recorder box and at times it comes up on the screen with LCN has changed. Anyone know what this is and how to stop it happening. Happened several times last night whilst I was watching ITV2 +1. Most annoying. Nothing in the instruction manual (which is pretty basic anyway) to indicate what the problem is.

Sorry just joined this forum and struggling to know where to post anything as there seems to be so many headings! As they were talking about a specific Dion box here I just added on to it. Where would you suggest?

I have just bought a Dion freeview box to use with the TV in the kitchen - buying Dion purely on Which's Good Buy recommendation. After taking it home, then realising it didn't have the scart lead and back to buy one - it didn't work. I got a '1' in the top righthand corner, then nothing, just a snowstorm. The instructions are basic to say the least and nothing seems to make any difference. This one too will be going back to Tesco. (Nothing in the Which article mentioned it was made by Tesco or I don't think I would have bought it in the first place.

Its not made by tesco, its more than likely just rebranded for Tesco, pretty much like most cheap electronic products these days.

Usually with anything digital it's impossible to get the good old fashioned snow storm. Are you sure your TV has been changed to scart?
