Does this sound about right to you guys?
it may not fix the problem tho cuz my old remote for my Pace (which i no longer have) receiver works with my Samsung one.

Also, I believe err4 is displayed when the memory in the box is faulty.
they updated mine in the early hours a couple of weeks ago.

I believe it is there to stop subscribers (or their family ... ) running up too large a bill
