You can always pre-prend the channel number with 0s. No, wait, you can't do that on the STBIS2010.
I don't see what the problem is with pressing OK afterwards for the impatient.
Totally agree, the STBHDIS2010 is one of the most responsive freeview boxes i've had. Quick through the menus and pressing ok after inputting a channel number is very fast.
Is anybody able to PM me the BETA update for the STBHDIS2010. I have been frantically searching google for it and seems like literally nobody has posted it online (which i find very strange).
Anyway, email to channel 0 has gotten me nowhere, so would really appreciate if someone could send me a link.
(just host it on dropbox or one of the other million share sites or soemthing)

PM sent. It's good that you can't find it online because that's what everybody agreed to! I'm pushing it a bit by sending people my link, but as it's no longer available through the official channels it seems like the only way.
By the way, I will not be able to respond to these requests in a timely manner for the next week or so.
Being as Tesco are selling these boxes off cheap and the fact that Zero or whatever they are called seem to be ignoring any and all contact attempts, isn't it very likely that these boxes have been 'discontinued' and will never get the promised upgrade?
Perhaps Zero or whatever they are called have gone bust?

They are called Channel Zero and if you read through the thread this discussion has been had a number of times and I think the jury is still out on that question.

Your old link is broken, btw; any chance I could have the new one so I can continue to help? I have been creditting you; it's just if I'm online and you're not, it's useful to be able to help.

...which does lead me to believe it's dead and gone. I know people say "Oh, I can't post this online, it's against the t's and c's", but I honestly think there is now no-one there now to enforce this.
It has ceased to be, it is an ex-updated piece of software, bereft of life etc etc etc
When was the last time the weather and film details were updated - May ?
Tesco are not stupid. Why else would they be selling this so cheap?
They've always been (relatively) cheap - £35 in Stevenage Tesco. I've just been looking at the company who own CZ - Electra Entertainment - their website has not been updated since January 2011 !
It's still a very, very good machine, even without CZ - I just wish they'd've stopped advertising and boxing it with all the stuff that's no longer available.

They could never enforce it anyway. All they could do was ask it was widely distributed as it was still in beta.
With the way things seem with channel Zero I certainly doubt it'll ever come out officially now anyway, and with Tesco sending out boxes with the beta software installed I find it quite amusing that there's still this cloak and dagger attitude from some about distribution of it..
One of the best images / picture quality I have ever seen on a freeview box.
Sure is, easily the best Freeview pic in SD or HD for me too.
Riceuten, the packaging/boxes with cz adverts etc, its just not been re-packaged, maybe returns/refurbs/excess stock. Why spend money on new packaging when their being sold at rock-bottom prices anyway? As long as the unit does what its meant to, which it does very well indeed. For £19.99 i'm real happy
You have to be quick around here - though usually a contribution from me is enough to kill a thread off (the internet equivalent of brown fingers?).
As for deleting posts, on the internet nothing is truly deleted. I suspect that only the moderators can make posts disappear on DS so if you want it to go away edit something in that's "controversial" and they'll make in an unpost for you.

It is very slow, in fact my old On digital box changed channels quicker than this box.

I remember people complaining about the OnDigital boxes changing too quickly to enter LCNs (especially when three digit ones were introduced)

I assume it may also do the same for the other HD channels. Not looked at that yet.
Menu / Settings / Advanced / SD HD link off
In theory if the broadcaster is using this correctly it shouldn't do anything when SD splits from HD for local news
Ignore me. Someone else got there first.
PS: why can't I find an option to delete a post?
