When the box boots up it does a check on the home transport stream before then continuing onto the last frequency it was locked to. By pressing the down arrow on boot up you simply bypass the check of the home transport stream.
If the STB fails to find a NIT then it completely fails to boot. The STB does not store the NIT when it is rebooted. If the box is booting then it is finding the NIT on whatever stream it is locking to.
The Home Transport stream level needs checking and adjusting.

Hi, thanks for this explanation; this seems most likely.
This is due to since the surge, I have noticed a memory loss (ie. on demand help coming up etc.. saying welcome to your new service, when i've had it for months, and only got that the first week).
It also therefore seems likely that it has forgotten the home frequency to lock on to, in order to get the NIT tables, therefore has to search which probably explains why it takes longer to boot.
I am also pleased to know that engineers do call after 17:00, and will be calling NTL either tomorrow morning or late afternoon. Thanks for all your help.
