Especially if it is intermitant, Martin you live in the same NTL area as me where the cabinets are not ventalated.

With all due respect th'engineer, are the 2000 boxes more fault tolerant then? I ask as I went through 5 DiTV 1000 boxes in a 3 week period, and then switched to a 2000 series box which worked for well over 12 months. During this time no engineer visited the Green cab...
I have been told by multiple sources that the DiTV 1000 boxes can become unstable and that the 2000 is preferable. This would correspond with my experiences.
Please note I am not saying that a cab fault is unlikely, merely that a STB failure on the 1000 series is more likely. Especially with the failure type mentioned earlier, which is loss of BB and a nonresponsive STB, Signal level faults seldom freeze the STB.
