Can somebody confirm the above? I did replace the light bulbs with energy efficient ones recently.

My two remotes are erratic, sometimes they refuse to work for 1-2 minutes and then they are ok. But not both at the same time!

I have a Virgin one and NTL one. The Virgin one has a "slippery" feel too, like it has been coated with something.

The tech guy gave me the Virgin one to keep it as extra.... but he was willing to come back to replace the box.
