I'm not quite sure of the model of the STB, but it's about 2 years old and has a blue remote with silver buttons on the side.
Cheers very much |
Got myself a Philips DVD/HDD last year, which also has Guide Plus+. At the time I had a Pace box, and as others have stated, couldn't use the IR link. However a friendly NTL engineer who came to swap my other STB for a Samsung (for 1 Meg BB), convieniently 'found' a prob with the STB attached to this DVD/HDD. He organised a swap for a Samsung. The Guideplus+ setup at that time didn't include the Samsung STB, but I set it up as a Pace, and it works a treat! The IR link switches the Samsung on and selects the channel which has been set for recording.
Hope this helps.
