But I'm not really sure if the fault here is NTL's or Sony's (not having a manual, I don't know what the *-TV combination is supposed to do!), so I guess I shouldn't really complain.

Also, further to my original response, while the grey remote uses the IrDA-ish protocol to talk to the STB, it does of course use RC4/RC5 to talk to your TV

EDIT: One last thing. Is there is key combination on the remote that functions as "hold" on Teletext pages? Cheers
I have the same problem with the AV functions - its sticks at AV1 which is rather annoying - like the input to be RGB so that the picture shifts back to the right postion but never mind.

I don't think there is a combination for HOLD I have tried * with every button and the coloured ones changed the sound style, picture brightness and screen format. The text button activates teletext, and thats about it.

Inb the manual that came with the remote, it did mention that the remote control functions vary from make to make, so it just depends really.

Out of curiosity on an off topic note, do you find that your Sony remote control stops working and even the ntl: remote stops being able to alter the telly? Mine does and its extremely annoying. The set has to be switched off and on before it'll work agen
