Juts to update people:

I am now installed - eventually! The guy who did the instal was a very friendly guy and didn't make too much mess (I'd have told him to clean up if he had have done) but the first STB he used didn't work and when he did get one operational the service had not been started at the headend so he was not able to show me how to operate things.

I have managed to work out how to reorder but when I tried to do PIN stuff (which took an age to find out how to) yes, you've guessed it, the STB froze after reporting an error message. Mercifully, when I pressed a button on the box itself it seemed to unfreeze it but I would have been fuming if the box had frozen.

Am NOT looking forward to trying to record something off the cable. The process seems like a complete nightmare!

BTW, how do I access the BBC text stuff? With FV it was one button away. Doesn't seem to be accessible with the cable. Also, how will I be able to access Score Interactive on Saturday? (with FV all I did was choose channel 701 and there it was!)
