Am having ntl installed tomorrow, for my sins, and have a few questions which I'd appreciate some help with please.

1. What interactive will I get - esp the BBC stuff such as Score Interactive (I live in Leeds)?

2. I understand that setting the video to record programmes isn't straight forward like it is with Freeview (ie by saying x channel between certain times). How is it done, assuming it actually is possible?

3. I understand I am able to reorder/renumber channels. Is this easy to do? Also, is there a Favourite Channels things, likle there is with FV and was with analogue cable?

4. I have heard rumours of set-top boxes freezing and crashing all the time. Is this true and, if this does happen, would I loose various settings etc?

5. Is there an EPG and how good is it?

6. Am I able to ensure that VOD stuff (and other pay stuff) can be locked out?

7. Is there anything else I should know?

Any help appreciated. Thank you.
