Forgive me for only doing a cursory forum search, I am at my brothers in Woking, Surrey, using my old 333mhz laptop on a dial up connection. At home in Shaw I have two STB,s a 1000, and 2000 series. They have both been virtually trouble free for 2 years or more. My brother has Ntl DiTV (was anologue ) and his service seems very poor. The BBC interactive does not work. I managed to get past the BBC bridge and load the split screens but that was the best I could do, you could not move between screens or select the menu.
NIT appears on the STB on occasions and intermittant reboots have occurred.
His STB is a Ditv4010-N and I have two questions, I have tried up+down+blue but cannot reach the signal info pages or event log, is the procedure the same on this STB, also when both of my boxes are on and functioning correctly the top two indicator lights are on. On this box, when it is switched on only the channel number is displayed, no lights unless you press the remote, then one flashes and goes out, is this normal on 4010 boxes?
According to the handbook from Ntl, pressing "Help" button should bring up a box saying "Technical information" which should have a calibration figure, but in fact it brings up a completely different menu.
BTW, he is on Langley, mine is Bromley.
