Latest status update: Order delays
19th February 2010: Due to some temporary personnel issues, orders will be dispatched more slowly (approx 1 week) than usual for the next 6 weeks. An email will be sent to confirm your order receipt, another to confirm likely dispatch date, and a further email to confirm dispatch.
During this time we will also be unable to supply controllers modified to have 'power passthrough'. Emails received over this period will be replied to, but possibly more slowly than usual. Apologies for any inconvience this causes.

We've tested our controllers when connected to the 'tv output' of a Global SPC4 'Super Plus Combiner'. Our controllers work fine with the combiner, though the following caveats apply:- The Sky Navigator key codes (eg. the 'a' through 'z' keys) cannot be used, this is a limitation of the combiner.
- Controlling multiple digiboxs may be slower than if each digibox has a dedicated controller port (as the commands must be sent down the single cable to the combiner one at a time).
The codes required are shown on the control codes page.
