Got home last night to try the volume thing???? that the bloke from India recommended - but my pictrure was blank but the sound was OK. Then the picture would flicker on for about 1 second out of every 15.

I checked all my connections but the problem still continued. Then I changed the settings from HDMI back to scart (which took me ages because I could only see the screen once every 15 seconds) but the problem still continued.

I gave NTL a phone and during the 23 minutes that I was on hold I heard a recorded message (more than once) telling me that picture loss could sometimes be caused due to lack of box ventilation, my box is well ventilated so maybe my extremely noisy box is a faulty fan which isn't cooling down the tvdrive sufficiantly??????

Anyway I finally spoke to someone and they're sending an engineer out on Friday. After the phone call I tried unplugging the system for 5 minutes turned it back on and to my surprise it was working fine????????. The noise even seemed to be at the correct level???????

I'll check it again tonight!!!
