    The digihome will record 2 channels at once with a firmware upgrade. The downside is that less of the EPG is cached as it uses the memory enable the second recording.

    Check the power supply, if it's only rated for 2 amps it will probably fail sooner or later, it's a very common fault with this model and the FVR100 (I went through 2 before they sent an uprated one).

    Hopefully with it being a factory refurb they will have replaced it with a 3 amp model or if you are really lucky a 5 amp.

    Note a 5 amp replacement (the best kind of replacement) will cost you at least £20.

    can I connect this to the laptop and edit the files recorded?
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    I don't think anyone has worked out the HD format yet. It doesn't have any USB sockets so you would need to remove the HD from the unit if anyone works it out.
