Thats right you just need a Sky TV Account. To see movies or sports you also need to pay for them also naturally.

sounds like you have not installed it. Please describe the steps you took to upgrade to 1.02.29 firmware and 2.14 custom firmware. If you have installed the custom firmware correctly you should see SW 2.14 on the display at the front of the Humax when you turn it on from a cold start. Also open...

The Wiki table says I do need to I was on CFW 2.10 and firmware 1.0.2.27 therefore if I am reading this right;) I am current version : CFW other. ergo CFW other Run prepare_for_upgrade diagnostic (see note below). Download and install official 1.02.29 Download and install CFW 2.12/1.02.29...

true if you are a regular reader of the CF threads I think you would know the difference between 1.02.28 and 1.02.29 is very very minimal. I read #1 and followed the upgrade path in the table and thats it. I dont understand what all the furore is about.

Thanks for the new CW. I was on Official 1.02.27 and CW 2.10 So I followed upgrade path page. Prepage Upgrade Diagnostic > 1.02.29 official > CW 2.12/1.02.29 Fix Flash Diag to get xtral portal working Went fine.

When I first read this I was expecting a couple of clicks and its done. How wrong I was!

if you look through the xml thread it tells you were the xml file is then edit it and you will see the http:// links which correspond to each option. Just find one that you will not use, say the teletext one and change the url to the new one. Save it then test it.

I managed to do it. looks complicated but I just needed to change one line pointing to the new url. Problem was the remote control wouldn't control the page as per the above.

Hi with the announcement of Sky NowTV going live tomorrow has anyone had thoughts about if this can be added to the custom portal ? I read originally its movies and tv but December time it will be sport too.

Yes they are all dodgy illegal movies of varying quality, did not realise that site was back up it got shut down ages ago. Only know of it as a colleague at work showed it to me as he used to watch it when on lates at work.

why?

with two rubber bands, some sticky back plastic and a lot of patience.

i think its just a router issue, had to come home now but thanks for all your suggestions will have a try another day.

it wont ping the bbc website I get bad address. So thats the problem. Wonder if its being blocked by the Virgin Hub. Its working wirelessly to the router okay.

is there any way to confirm I can install the packages file through telnet ?
