Yes, but the TVDrive also needs a few extra things broadcast over the network. The first is a software image, but if this was broken I think it would affect all boxes. The second is HD channels, but I'm fairly sure NTL would go ahead and launch even if HD wasn't available right away -- and besides, I know BBC HD was on the "secret" channel list in the Wessex region over Christmas, so I don't think it's that.

So by a process of elimination, I reckon that the problem lies with the system that broadcasts the 8-day EPG.

Am I close?
