In the end I called up billing to ask for compensation and they put me through to someone in faults who said "oh yes, there's a fault in your area, it'll be fixed soon". It'd have been nice to have been told that a couple of hours earlier.

Anyway - the cable modem is back now, and I've at least got the terrestrial channels again. I think the STB is toast - I pulled the card out and half of it was brown and a bit melted!

Hopefully I'll get it fixed on Tuesday ... but it's enough to make Sky look appealing.

Thanks for the message,
