Hey guys,

I've just been to comet and bought one of these boxes (GUSTB80IV), works fine, pluged it in, scanned, found all channels. DONE.

Great.

The guide is a little slow, and the channel order is in a right mess, i think thats down to DTT though rather than the box, would be great to be able to move things around.

Anyhow, the firmware/software version according to the box is 1.2(UK). After reading through a few threads am i right in thinking that this is the DigiHome PVR80? And that if i follow this guide (http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/vestel/update.htm) I'll be able to upgrade the software to this 4.9 version?

Any other suggestions/comments, please let me know.

Thanks

Michael

Have a look for Vestel, but I don't know if this will include the Grundig box, v1.2 seems very old though.

Take it back and get the one from asda save yourself 50 quid same box Dual dpvr 80

Yeah I noticed that but I wasnt sure which one is relating to my box, the Grundig GUSTB80IV.

Guess i could wait and see, i've ordered the cable needed just incase.

Thanks,

Michael

I was at comet today and they know have 5 vestel pvr clones
same box as the digihome , prices range from 119 quid to 199 quid just the front covers are differant I looked underneath to see the same hard drive WD160BB western digital in all of them
manufactures
names include, sharp hitachi proline grundig cant remember the last one what a rip of except for the proline at 119 quid for the 160gb pvr

Its not bad, Dave. But its far too cold to be going back out. I'll stick with this one for now. At least until i see if this OTA update applies to my box on the 3rd.

In other news, I've now cancelled and removed the Sky+ subscription/box.

No more sky!

Thanks for the help guys.

Regards,

Michael
