Thats intresting, the Sky Gnome can display info on the channel etc as well can't it?.... and the protocol has already been worked out:-

"Please note: The gnome only receives data from the sky box via RS 232. It does not send any data back to the sky box"

It appears the gnome links also via the RF2 socket and the control is sent this way. what a half assed approach! Two cables when one could have done.
