I'm 90% sure Leeds is ex-CWC. If not, most of these answers will be wrong...

1) Most of the BBCi stuff is there -- Score interactive, football e-tv, that sort of thing. Only on BBC 1 and 2 though, no News 24 multiscreens (yet). Also, the Bridge isn't quite as good as on Sky or FV, but we do have lots more in interactive.

2) It works like this: find the programme in the EPG and set a reminder. The box will turn over at the due time.

3) You are able to reorder the channels, but not renumber. It's easy to do, but tedious and time-consuming. Don't forget you can use Page Up/Down! That's basically what the Favourites functions does: you can put the channels you like best at the top of the list, and send the rest to the bottom.

4) This is mixed, it seems. My STB rarely crashes or needs a reboot, but I have heard of people who say they get daily lock-ups.

5) There is an EPG, and it shows all programmes on for the next 3 days. It doesn't break any speed records, but it does the job.

6) Yes.

7) Lots, probably. First off, just don't be put off by the pink. It will be changing (back) to blue in a software upgrade in a few months...
