The Home transport as you correctly call it carries the STB software data for all hardware versions, its on Mux 17.
All transport streams carry the required PSI and SI tables. Therefore as I said all transport streams carry the NIT.
The bit in your post above where you say

is wrong. Theres no bypassing getting the NIT. The STB does not store the NIT, so a reboot means it has no idea what frequencies the streams exist on, until it re-gathers the NIT and SDT tables.

I don't need to read the manual. I remember how it works.
Well now you have pointed what i didn't quite get right, though not totally incorrect as you say, how about pointing out exactly what someone might get wrong instead of making sweeping statements like you did. I know as much as one thinks they know, someone else might know more or less or equal, you can't judge someone on one mistake unless your the kind of person that seems to want to point out these mistakes to make themselves seem more knowlegeable than the person who has made the mistake, I.E Smart Ass!

The fact you used to be a Principal Engineer for NTL means nothing really as i've heard plenty of people talk a good job over the years whilst working for NTL but actually doing the job is another matter.

And yes i do need the manuals as i can't remember absolutely everthing.
