I'm slightly confused about a number of things about this upgrade. I currently have two STB's (both of which are Pace's, albiet different models). Does anyone know when it will be upgraded automatically (will they know to only upgrade to 1mb as I have a pace?).

If I do ask them to upgrade my STB, will they do both of them? as I've heard the new (Samsung?) ones are better. My current ones are v slow at changing channels which I'd quite like fixed if I have the opportunity.

Does anyone know what is involved with the swap out? Can you just give the engineer the old ones at the door, or does he need to come in and do a full proper setup (i.e. how long are we talking about).

Also I was originally told that I could not have a CM as I was in a STB area and using a CM and a STB (to watch TV) wasn't possible because they would conflict with eachother, however in error NTL sent me one. However some posts in this thread seem to go against this. Is it now possible to use a CM if you have STB's?

If so how easy do you think it's going to be to get NTL swap my internet access from comming from my STB to my CM?
