Digihome DG250DTRA08 won't update software
Hello. I hope someone can help me with an issue I am having with my box. I have two of these boxes and have had no problems at all with them, until last week when one of them died on me So, I bought a refurbished one off of ebay and received it at the weekend. Set it up, switched it on and tried to do a channel search. It can only find 34 channels. I knew it wasn't my aerial but thought i best try the identical box on the same tv and aerial. I did a channel scan and it found every channel, 124 of them!! So, I started having a look at the software, which is version 1.00 (on my other box it is 7.09), i tried to get it to update the software to no avail, I tried the force OAD, again nothing happened. Can anyone help me with advice on how to update the software. Any more info, please ask. Thanks for reading

Edit: probably worth posting (or mods moving this thread) to here.
There is also some discussion on updating the software within the Digihome PVR section of digital spy.
I.e. Home > Forums > Entertainment Services > Terrestrial > Freeview+ Recorders > Digihome
You may find a few of the posts useful on thread http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1879802
Your Digihome is essentially the same as the Wharfdale discussed in that link.
Thanks for that Luis, I will have a read through just now. I need to get a RS232 cable, is that right?
If your PC has a serial port then a straight through RS232 serial cable.
If your PC hasn't a serial port then a USB to RS232 adaptor cable. If your PC is 64 bit make sure that the one you buy is compatible.
If you have any more questions I sugest you ask in a different part of digital spy
I.e. Home > Forums > Entertainment Services > Terrestrial > Freeview+ Recorders > Digihome
You'll probably get far more answers there than in this section, which is not really for recorder questions.
As I have said to the OP over at AVForums, probably the best advice would be to return the box for a refund.
