    OSIRUS also said the same thing.

    Weird it didn't happen when I tried it.

    Perhaps the time I tested it was on a previous firmware version which also had to be separately installed to upgrade the box.

    Still ridiculous you have to 'activate' the remote.

    Just on another note the opposite remote as used on the other box actually turned the CCs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know a lot has been said about this , but do you have to activate the Remote, I was under the impression that if you purchased a PVR kit you had to enter the code to turn your non PVR box into a PVR ready box, that to me doesn't mean that your activating the remote

    The 'PVR kits' I've had required the same process to activate the remote as the 'upgrade' remote.

    Eg: enter the remote registration key and smartcard number online to obtain the activation code.

    I have got about 3 new (Virginal) PVR remotes still in the Boxes, if I get one out just insert batteries & away you go, with an already PVR activated STB..... (just tried one & confirmed this)

    It is the STB that is activated as a PVR ......
