Labgear Setpal DTT100AGD FREEVIEW BOX

i have had this freeview box for several years and all has been fine - last night i found that neither the red nor green lights were on and timed recordings were blank

i have checked everything, connections, fuse and pressed the red reset button on the back

does anyone have any ideas or how i can contact Labgear or where i can get another similar box as this has been perfect until now

i am in the Leicestershire area

thanks

James

Labgear had financial problems and was sold to Philex. The website is http://www.labgear.co.uk and you'll have to contact them to see if the Digibox is still supported. Setpal also seem to have disappeared.

If you have a branch of Hughes TV near they were selling the Daewoo version of your box for £40 IIRC. I replaced mine with a Humax 8000T also from Hughes that receives just as well as the Setpal and records programmes but it's more expensive. I don't know what other boxes are recommended if you want something different/cheaper.
