This site is dedicated to various models and configurations of PVRs
made by a Turkish company called Vestel and sold under 20 or so different brand names in the UK (including Alba, Bush, Digihome, Goodmans, Hitachi, Sharp and Technika). Eight hardware models are known about, and you can find out which yours is by the sticker on the underside of the unit (or maybe on the packaging) which will usually contain either T810, T816, T825, T835, T836, T845, T845R or T7300.
You can find out which software build is installed on your box by pressing the menu button and selecting "Configuration", where you will see the software version number quoted next to "Receiver upgrade". Move the cursor down to the version number and press OK and scan for an upgrade and you will be shown your software's build time and date (there can sometimes be different software builds with the same version number).
