My PACE 1000 never ever locked up but NTL changed it as my broadband kept failing. Was nothing to do with the STB in the end. My PACE 4000 locked up all the time and lost channels too.

I now have a Sammy and that regularly "hangs", i change channel and the box just sits there doing nothing and a minute or so later it decides to change channel. Using the red button does cause it to lock up too. Also on occasions channels are black but on return to the same channel the picture and sound are present.

My final whinge with the Sammy is that when i change channel the new channel appears and the picture freezes and jerks for the forst 2-3 seconds and make a horrible noise some of the time.

Did i say final whinge? ok this is the last one. As i use widescreen when i turn the STB on it doesnt auto change my AV input on the TV, i have to change channel of the STB several times to make this happen.
