It doesn't look like any of the Arions on their website, or like any Arion in the satellite-heaven.de database. No software is listed for it there, either. I think it's not patchable. Metronic sell a K-Box which is patchable and has a following in the Netherlands and Belgium, it seems.

BTW, that Maplins manual is for a Touchbox2 (and the 'hotline' number is private house, so don't phone it!), but I spoke to the very nice French lady on the proper Metronic number ans she kindly sent me the Touchbox3 manual, so if anyone wants it ... The manual says "Product made in Asia".

That £20 box has been on Maplins site for weeks! ----- Why didn't anyone ask me ? ----------- I even found loads of threads elsewhere saying 'forget trying to patch the thing'
