Hi all,
Scuse me butting in, but anyone mind if I chuck my two penny-worth in on this subject!, as well?

We're all infuriated (to a greater or lesser degree!) by the (00:10/01:10) program information 'Auto update'. But has anyone noticed it appearing to get worse/more frequent/ocurring at times OTHER THAN 00:10/01:10, lately?
I have noted 'auto update' blanks (typically 30-40secs + for me) happening at about 15:10hrs and 18:10 hours (on Sunday 16th Jan , and on other days) but the FIVE separate and lngthy interruptions around the 00:10 hrs update Sunday night REALLY took the biscuit!!!
36", 42", 2'19", 39" and 46" 'blanks' at approx 23:45, 23:51, 00:05, 00:10' and 00:14 (all approx) REALLY did no end of good for my enjoyment of The French Connection on BBC1!!!! (Yes I now, how very sad to have logged them!! I must get out, or at least off the counch, more!!)
Seriously, though, anyone got any experience on trying to get a day's reimbursement out of NTL (I won't hold my breath!!); anyone else suffer this, err, 'enjoyment' to their viewing, and any definitive confirmation on whether this should (or should NOT) still be happening (AND appearing to be getting worse) on CR3 (at least, I think that's what I'm on - it's blue/yellow on-screen grafix replacing the 'old' 'orrible purple)

I'm in the GU51 (Fleet/Hampshire) location incidentally.

Any mods or anyone with definitive knowledge from within NTL care to comment? (Polite suggestions only, though, please!!)

Happy viewing
