TO ALL joyeux noel et bonne annee a tous keep up the good work Lee an anglais en france tony

had an me6000, if memory serves you need either a freeview box or a sky satellite box and allocate the box to an av socket as a vcr(?) then should work fine salut toiny

had probs when i tried this as the vcr would not pass the sat signal forward to the tv - must be a sw prob in the vcr as the tv is one of the last batch produced 2 solutions 1 use a b&o expander box 2 use a scart to rca lead from the vcr to the sat/freeview box rca's into the camcorder input ont he vcr - a l;ittle messy operationally as you

hi similar problem here when i tried to use an mx7000 with a v8000 and dvd1 the sky box thro the v8000 wouldn't work, maybe a software problem, so 2 options: 1 use a b&o expander at around £200 new 2 v8000 in to av1 on mx then use a scart to rca lead scart at sky/freeview box and rca's into camcorder sockets --- a little messy in operation

Forgot to add in earlier post thanks to all for suggestions etc - still have cheesy grin after the successful fiddling! t

Stoobie BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful tip - yes it worked for me - had tried the digicamera to id operation of led's alas nothing but now i have a huge cheesy grin and a working bl1000 again thanks for the tip! salut tony

no just used to control an Ouverture and an MX5500 ty t

Tried that still no joy - tried pressing all buttons - all seem ok more? t

Me ma's BL1000 has given up the ghost, checked /changed the batteries, checked voltage out of battery area and into the pcb and across the capacitor, checked terminals connecting wires board to battery area etc all ok, anything else to look for - it apparently just stopped working - kaput or what? salut tony(now in uk and it does seem cold here
