Problem with Thomson DTR DT16300-25 I have bought a DTR and I have programs stuck in the Program Library which I don't want and can't get rid of. If I try it hangs the DTR and I have to remove power to get the DTR to work again.

try going to menu > set-up > box settings and then change the TV Guide type to the Freeview 8 day guide.

Without a remote control, you can't change this option. Just buy one universal remote control, which have setup codes for Thomson Brand.

Try these two codes the first worked for me 1368 or 1994 best of luck

Go to add/remove program and remove the program K9 protection.

This could solve problem
1. Select Menu, Set-Up, Help.
2. Press the Green button on the remote control.
3. This shows the Advanced Information screen.
4. Now press the Blue button which will prompt you with a warning box.
5. Now press the Green button if you wish to proceed.
6. The DTR will take around a minute to complete the reformat, and will then automatically restart itself.
Next do a channel rescan.

try contacting remotes.com for the original remote control

Use 0538

Just got off the phone to TopUp TV and they knew how to sort this out.

Follow these steps

1. Turn on unit and press menu

2. choose set-up

3. then choose Help

4. On the help screen type the number 1397 on your remote - This will take you to an Engineer set-up screen.

5. Scroll down to option 7 (disable library video window) and toggle this option to "YES"

navigate back to your programs and delete the recording that was giving you the problem.

If you have a Thomson DT16300, here's a handy fix that address freeze ups, lack of reception and problems on your Hard Disk:

goto MENU screen
goto SETUP screen
goto HELP screen
At HELP screen, Enter 1397 - this accesses the engineer panel - you can reformat the HDD in this menu - you will lose all recorded programmes and planned recordings but it clears locked or corrupted files

OR - at the HELP screen, press the GREEN button

On the lower half of the screen youwill see 3 options:

Blue - Reformat HDD - clears all the memory/HDD - useful if you have a corrupted file - you will lose all recorded programmes though

Red - reset the whole box to factory settings - good if you have a locked box or reception problems or cannto scan for new channels. It goes back to when you bought the box, so you will have to input favourites and planned recordings again

Yellow - Software revert - allows you to go back to the previous software driver - you may lose new functions, but you can always restore it back again using the same feature
