Removed the old pace box & then took the New 10mb Modem NTL 250 & fitted it on top of my Samsung STB.
Left the install disc for me but didn't use it. He just went on the computer & set it all up in about 5 minutes. Gave me some details to save & spoke to me about my new email address if i choose to use it.

Back downstairs just as the picture on my telly fired up. Fitted the HDMI lead & set that up. He said it would default to SCART if the box was powerd off. I've been in and changed the settings not to autodetect the scart to try prevent that.
Showed us a few things about the box but said it would take about 15 minutes for the V+ service to start & if it didn't to call his supervisor.
Well 30 minutes later & no V+. So i rang up & got an answer machine. However after 45 minutes a message appeared on the screen to say the V+ service had installed & needed to reboot the box which it did.
And that was it. Wifes playing with the telly & i've downloaded some music at over 10mb......super fast.
So.....so far a still very happy customer
Brilliant! Thanks for that - I'm having mine done on Saturday - and the same, they're putting me on a SACM rather than the STB modem for internet.

Where did you change the settings to default the V+ box to go to HDMI cable? That sounds like it was all you had to do?
