I thought I was having problems with my old Analogue box (a CFT-2100), and a mate from Newcastle was coming to see me so he brought his CFT-2100 to try. His was slightly different at the back. I am in NTL Thames Valley area, on basic service.

On my box, I had the "Sky" channels plus I could tune my TV to terrestrial channels while still recording from cable channels (and vice versa). And, for instance, Eurosport was mapped to channel 15.

We plugged in his box and after a while it seemed to work OK, with all my old channels on the right numbers etc. I couldn't get the terrestrial channels however. Then (after a few hours, when we weren't watching it) all the channels seemed to have remapped, and the terrestrial channels have appeared (BBC is on 68 I think), and I have cable channels right up to 99, and Eurosport is no longer on 15.

Has it reverted to something, or do I just need to wait for a re-map to come down the line? (Is there a reset sequence?)

Is the terrestrial thing what is known as passthrough, and wouldn't ALL CFT-2100s do the same? Can I get an adapter to make it do pass through?
