Ah, well the link worked yesterday, but you are right, it doesn't work anymore.

I was going to edit my post with the new link, but I can't for the life of me work out how! Is it possible to edit posts on this forum?!

Edit: Seems like you can only edit posts for 60 minutes, I think thats a bit stupid, because most people only look at the first few posts, and it would be nice to update them.

Some forums it's only 10 minutes

It makes sense to limit the time, otherwise posters can go in and pretend they said something they didn't at the time... if you see what I mean

Care to email me it, and I'll put it up on my website.?

That link asks you to enter 4 characters that have a cat below them, and only presents none or one.

there will be 4 but you have to look very carefully, they are sometimes a bit distorted and hard to spot.

Hi Marc. The Sharp manual in your second link is for the single record T810 Sharp TUR160H (TUR160H756.pdf), the clue being that the DDRRAM is only 32MB compared to the 64MB for the T816 and T825s. The manuals for all the Sharp PVRs can be downloaded from their website here. There are two versions for the T816 TUR160HA. One for units produced up to Oct 2007 (TUR160HA629.pdf) which is the non-Series Record version (software version 3.7 I think) and another one for units produced after Oct 2007 (TUR160HA763.pdf) which has software version 6.7 with Series Record.
