Re: Which freeview HD recorder?

Well i bought the one i linked to in my first post but am having some problems.

I can't receive any of the COM7 channels? Not sure if that is the aerial not receiving a strong enough signal, maybe the cable run to the living room is too long?
I think i read those channels are right down the frequency?

*EDIT*
Ok i found out the coax run is too long, took the box upstairs and tuned them in, as well as Motors on CH71, back downstairs and the COM7 channels and motors isn't working. Signal quality and strength register as 0% on all of them.
Don't think i'll bother investing in a booster though.
*EDIT*

I also can't get any internet channels, it says device not compatible?
It's connected to the internet fine as i can view on demand, although i didn't have 4OD or ITVPlayer to start off with. I did a software update and they appeared afterwards.

I thought this box was just a BT branded retail box but now i'm wondering whether it isn't and BT have blocked some functionality?

Maybe the box is a duff one? Any thoughts?

TIA
