Hi. I got my ntl TVDrive in Notts on 24 Jan
after only a 10 day wait. Imagine my joy when I discovered it was a full HD box with all the future-proofed connections I'd ever need and it's 1 recordable channel better than SkyHD!
Initially everything was working quite well, except for:
- a little bit slow when changing channel with +Ch and -Ch
- some recordings failed to playback
- box crashed/hung a few times
- occasionally slow response from remote
- box hangs when trying to access on-demand
But on-the-whole TVDrive is infintely superior to the old Samsung 2100 and I've been waiting for the cable equivelent of Sky+ for far too long so was willing to put up with these "teething troubles".
BUT, since the Virgin Media switchover last week, things have become slower and slower and not just the RC. All-in-all I've now had to reset the TVDrive over ten times 3 weeks! I never had that much of a problem with the Samsung.
- Anyone else switch their box on and have no sound? It's only fixable by resetting the box (again). TV volume is on and not muted, cables are connected properly etc. etc.
- Why does my TV Guide go totally blank occasionally?
- Why doesn't the "Guide" button go straight to the full TV Guide instead of giving me the pop-up channel now and next box?
- Why can't I hide/re-order the un-subscribed channels in the full TV Guide?
- Why can't I change the order of my Favourites?
- I love that fact that I can now properly control the TV volume thanks to the new RC
I'll grudgingly give TVDrive 4 out of 5, but it could so easily have been 5/5. Bring on the software update!
P.S. WHY CAN'T THE SCART OUTPUT S-VIDEO???? (My TV has one RGB/Composite Scart and one S-Video/Composite Scart, but is otherwise a bl00dy good Panasonic. DVD player is currently relegated to S-Video).

Hi Steve. What "format" are you talking about? How? etc.
