This time they suggested the box was faulty (as the light was flashing) so they will besending an Engineer out on Thursday.

Somehow I don't think this will do much good as from the sound of it there were a lot of duff boxes fitted on Friday!!

Must be a local or network issue?

Welcome to the forum Maddad, nice to hear from more people in the solent region.

This is looking very much like a regional problem rather than problems with individual boxes. Therefore there seems little point in an engineer coming out - he'll probably do a box swap in desperation which won't fix the problem and will mean you'll lose any programmes on your hard drive. I have an engineer booked for wednesday but I'm going to phone faults again as I don't want to take an afternoon off work for nothing especially after what Blueview has said.

So check back again later and see how I get on and also whether blueview gets his VOD working (I'm making this sound like a soap)
