Hi Guys,

I'm in the Swansea area and I have got all the TV's in my house linked up to the spare NTL point behind my TV so we can get a crystal clear picture, before anyone jumps in saying I cant do that due to line noise etc. then dont panic as a frind of mine is an NTL engineer and he made me up the co-ax cable and gave me a filter thingy which he said would be ok. I have tuned in my TV'S ro recieve 1-5 but have also picked up loads of other channels, one of them being E4. Well I was cruising the channels this morning while having breakfast and one of the channels wasnt broadcasting and had the usual purple "This channel is not broadcasting" slide show on it, but the slide show wasnt working and smack bang in the middle of the screen was a MS Windows system error, it said something like "file access denied". I just wondered if anyone else saw it as it made me laugh, no wonder NTL's services are a bit dodgy most of the time if they rely on MS Windows to run their network.

All the best
Dan
