ok after a reboot managed to get it to work. Very slow menu and all, but its ok.

2 questions:

1. Is it free to use? I mean I am on the "M" [basic] tv package.

2. We haven't yet set up a PIN for the box [even after all these years of having VM], so can I call up and get it set up [to watch programmes like the Apprentice you need a PIN], or does the account holder have to do it? I have full access to the account as such if that helps, since it is me dealing with VM whenever something goes wrong:dunce: [lucky me lol]

If you haven't customised the pin it's 1-2-3-4 by default

How do I know which one it is? Surely the box wont let me try too many times before screwing up:erm::D:p:

Also, is it free?

The iPlayer was initially working on my STB (here in Reading), but the last few days I haven't been able to get it to work. If I press the red button I get the "just loading, please wait" message, but after an extended wait it disappears and nothing further happens. I did try a reboot.

Anyone having similar experiences?
