      Try restarting the box (i.e. unplug for an hour) and go from there.

        I agree with socky.

        Most boxes get updates for listings, sometimes software via the ether. It regularly ****s up. Reboot. You may need to re-tune too.

          Thanks
          I have one of those. As I said above. Try selecting the update software option too.

                Im still using an On-Digital box, that never had any listings AFAIK.

                  If you are doing without sky/have realised that it's a joke/all the good stuff gets to freeview eventually, suggest you get a Humax 9200T PVR. It's basically a sky+ box for freeview. You create your own tv channel, spool through the 7-day epg clicking on anything that you like. After that, you never watch a programme live again, just select from the list of stored progs (up to 100 hrs), fast click through adverts etc You can 'chase watch' stuff that's recording and you can record 2 channels and watch a third (or a stored prog) at the same time - it's bloody brilliant.
