Don't know if my new Samsung box has died, but it's certainly not very well. Premature senile dementure, I suspect.

Symptoms of this include regularly freezing - as in not accepting commands from the remote, then belatedly "remembering" those commands and implementing them when I least expect it.

Tasks like changing channels etc have therefore become a bit of a lottery. Apart from anything else, you might eventually get it to switch to the channel you require, but a few moments later it'll choose a different channel seemingly of its own peculiar preference. Then it might display the miniguide, the information panel, or perhaps even switch to interactive.

I've tried using the originally supplied remote, a meticulously-programmed one-for-all-six and the combined ntl keypad and remote. Same problem occurs with all three.

Cust Servs seem intent on sending me a NEW remote which, at a guess, is probably among the least of my problems. Surely this must be a dodgy box, mustn't it? Anyone else suffered this or, even better, got a solution?

PS: Not trying to hijack this thread, just keen to avoid uneccessary new ones.
