Yep, sounds like it, especially if they come as matched pair. The
*sockets* have pins (i.e. are male), which why the *cable* has to
be female at that end (like wot I said). They may also have a
barely visible and in any case intelligible symbol which is
supposed to indicate that they are serial.

It shouldn't matter which one you connect to, but you will have to
tell hyperterminal whether you are on COM1 or COM2 (i.e. guess,
and if it doesn't work, change your mind).

Thanks!

You're welcome. (What a lot of typos in my last message - but you seem to
have navigated them successfully!).

Just go for it. I was on an EPG delta release fed up even when
scrolling up through the channels with the P+ taking forever. Works
like a dream now on 4.1

Indeed. But the last time there was an update for the GDB3, a great many
boxes (including mine) failed to pick it up, despite many attempts. If you
can do the update to v.4.1 via your PC, you would have a quicker and more
certain result.

I too have a GDB3 at Epsom, loft aerial pointing to the Crystal Palace
transmitter. I very seldom get freezing, and it recovers after a few
seconds. I don't get your problems b & c. The software is version 4.0
via an over-air update. According to the DTT schedule there will be
another update starting from 18th January.

I have Goodmas GDB3 box. I am outside of Cambridge and get all the channels
most of the time from Sandy Heath. However sometimes
a) picture freezes but sound is still OK. Need to switch off and on the box
to get video back
b) get stuck on a channel, remote not functional. I think in that case I
need to reset the box, i.e. disconnect power to get it working again
c) unit switches itself to off

I assume that these are software faults because even if the signal was
marginal the unit should not "lock up" and should recover. I cannot imagine
integrated TV that would perform like this and was considered satisfactory.
Am I right?

Interesting ... on www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/download_schedule.pl I'm seeing
Sanyo then, and no Goodmans listed at all. What's your source, Dave?

I also find it difficult to find any information on downloads for Goodmans

I see the DTT info has been changed since last week.

OK- thanks. The fact that it *was* scheduled might give some hope that there
is something in the offing. I see next week's is still to be decided.
