The STB was well ventilated so that was not the cause. A couple of the engineers said that this was a common problem during the summer months.
Aaah yes, the green cabinets getting to hot, rather than sleet / snow blocking the signal to the sat.
Thats a wash then +/-ve for both suppliers, though probably more of a problem for NTL as you said, all that extra equipment being crammed into cabs for more services.
