It does, however, coincide with the fact I have just changed my TV from a traditional CRT to a 46" 100hz Toshiba HDTV so I have assumed it's high frequency electromagnetic interference from the HDTV that is causing glitches in the Samsung box.

I'm living with it for now as I'm getting V+ installed on Monday so hopefully the V+ boxes are have more robust RF shielding...really really don't want to send my TV back!

The back lights on LCD Tv's can play havoc with STB boxes remote control sensor if its too close to the TV, if at all possible shield the box from the TV by pushing it further back in the cabinet.
