Re: ntl tv
 

what model of TV is it? and are you talking about the TV menu

Re: ntl tv
 

no m8 i want the digital box engineers menu up , its a samsung smt-2100c

Re: ntl tv
 

pull the plug out of the back and plug it back in holding Up & Down buttons in


why do you want the engineers menu if the box isnt connected to the cable?

and btw im not your m8

Re: ntl tv
 

i do this put the plug back in and the ntl logo comes up, but no engineers menu, and the ntl box said ld 20 on it, how long do i need to hold the buttons in for, and is this right whats coming up.

Re: ntl tv
 

but why? is your stb stuck on ld20 and you can't get any pics? please elaborate....

Re: ntl tv
 

Unless you give a legitimate reason for this, you are unlikely to get much help. :)

Re: ntl tv
 

why are you trying to operate it without it being connected to the cable??

Re: ntl tv
 

lol think it's a bit obvious myself, he wants to chip his box so he needs to modify some settings in the engineer's menu, if connected to the cable network without talkback disabled he could be found out... simple as.

Re: ntl tv
 

Excuse me, he is a she

and i wouldnt dream of doing thismyself, the question thoe is for a friend and they said something about you can improve the picture quality.

Re: ntl tv
 

What, like being to see pictures on channels that they're not paying for? :rofl: :rolleyes:

If there's something wrong witht the picture quality, ask ntl to fix it....the engineers menu is called exactly that - for engineers use. :dozey:

Re: ntl tv
 

but you said it wasn't connected to cable!?

Re: ntl tv
 

Caroline, it's not worth playing about with the engineers menu. Unless you know what you are doing, it's easy to c*ck things up, and possibly lose your service. If you lose your service and the engineers finds you have altered something you shouldn't, you will be charged a £50 call out fee to fix it.

ok enough said , looks like they have had me looking for them, which i wont, thanx for the info

Re: ntl tv
 

And you also said you wanted to see it on your tv (as opposed to your friends who apparantly the samsung box belongs to).

You got a samsung stb on the sly and are trying to chip it, aren't you? :rolleyes:

Just read your reply above - your mates are dodgy, fraudulent and thieves if that's that case. :mad:

Re: ntl tv
 

my sentiments exactly!

Re: ntl tv
 

ok thanx

Re: ntl tv
 

no denial then ;)
