Hmm.
I have a tuner, but haven't installed it yet. So, although I don't have any experience with it, I do have an interest in your problem and I'm looking around for an answer.
So far, I've found enough info to re-create in my mind what you're doing.
Mark Lord recently submitted
this post, linking a scan of the original tuner instruction leaflet.
Then, there's the
FAQ entry on how to access the Hijack menu.
These two pieces of info yield a conflict wrt the 'press and hold' function of the 'menu/ok' button on the remote.
Is there another way to access the tuner setup menu than via the remote? Will one of the buttons on the player allow access?
I'm curious, too.
