Re: Does/Did Your ntl STB Lock Up?
I have a Pace 2000 box. Well, actually I have two.

The NTL one never locks up of its own accord. It does need to be rebooted periodically though to keep running optimally. It's as if some of the software subprocesses just give up after it's been running for a long time, and they need a reboot to wake them up. Note that I'm running broadband off this STB, which may make a difference.

My Telewest one has locked up on me twice, both times while using the News 24 multiscreen thing. It does seem to be able to keep running well for longer without requiring a reboot, however. I'm not using this one for broadband.
