Ah.. You can't have one of the Thomson boxes then. I've been struggling with it for a few months now. It's not so bad once you get used to it but I do get a few annoying crashes every now and then. A few tips - use the number keys to get to your favourite menu (e.g. sport) rather than scrolling left and right and make sure you use Channel Up/Down button to scroll downwards through the channels.
RE: Ah.. spose the horizontal scrolling will take some getting used to like the picture in view though..
You can add ITV HD to it though ITV HD is only supoposed to be available on Freesat but it's not if you know how ..... simple instructions here http://www.tellytoad.com/page/itv-hd-on-sky-hd.aspx Handy for watching Champs League footy in HD.
