My sister has just bought a Sony HDD/DVD recorder with guide plus and they've got one of the cheap FTA satellie boxes that were on offer at B&Q. I think they are Philex branded. I've just being trying to set up the Guide+ to link to the sat box for them and don't know which (if any) make of box to set Guide+ to in order to automatically change channels. Can anyone help?

I looked but it doesn't mention Philex. Just wondered if the codes for another manufacturer would work?

Since Philex is not listed under the supported external receivers,you will have to carry out the alternate setup as detailed in the Quickstart guide(Page 18 onwards)

Thanks. I've passed that on to them. They're planning on getting a Humax Freesat box soon anyway, so that should be able to be controlled by the Sony. My Philips does.
