If you simply want a video that controls the digibox by telling it to turn ON at a specific time and select a 3-digit channel number, then Panasonic do two models. * Videoplus I can add a little something to your FAQs about digiboxes, in that you say no video recorders are available that can use video plus with a digital signal… My JVC s-vhs ET (sorry, not sure of the model code) uses one of the little IR bulb thingies to change digibox channels, and also allows you to change which videoplus codes trigger which channels in response, so that with a little tinkering in the video recorder setup, I now happily use videoplus codes to record from digibox, as my video knows that when it gets the videoplus code for (say) BBC1, it fires up channel 101 (or whatever) over the IR.
