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.

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!?

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.
