Ive enabled it for the 'home page' now and it displays on there - here is a note to anyone else using it - banners wont display on any other categories / pages etc unless you not only enable it on the home page - but also select "---Secondary pages" and then actually select some of those categories - then it works.

I had hoped that being the latest version of xcart something like this might have 'just worked' but there again it is xcart we are talking about...... !
