thanks

ok thanx , point taken . i've succesfully converted a ethernet lead to a crossover lead and flashed lacky pro to the box . (not bad considering i'd never seen a dbox before this morning) . i did a channel scan and picked up about 320 channels . is this about right or should i be getting more ? i used to have a chipped ntl box and that used to get about 700 channels .

Depends where you are mate but a quick browse will identify any missing, pay attention to the new BICS channels there is loads of stuff hiding in there.

about 300 is the norm, good luck m8. p.s dont forget to set your location each time then reboot for the fast scan
