my digibox STB 8 has worked well for over 2 years but the remote seems to have gone dead. its not the battery. I am happy with the functionality of the box and like the user friendly menu and epg screens, but without the remote it is useless. just wondering if there is a solution. also have an STB102 but that has also frozen on me. coincidentally both within a week of each other! good value for money just frustrating when they freeze. I bought the boxes because the new digital TV I bought was useless and not fit for purpose, so now use it with my £20 Alba box the TV was £220

I purchased an Alba STB 8 from Tesco in July 2007, which overheated and burned out in December 2008, while on standby.
I am informed by Tesco that it has no intrinsic value and has exceeded its estimated lifespan.
Regardless of the price paid, I would have expected a better outcome.

The Alba STB8 is easy to set-up. Light weight plastic boxes. Also costing under £20. However it keeps freezing and sometimes needs reseting. I live in Edinburgh. Maybe other areas are okay.
