Hi. I received my shiny new Samsung box today as I was having my BB upgraded to 2Meg (old PACE box won't cope with new speed I believe). Although BB is fine at new speed and I do have all channels OK.
I have read the other threads regarding the "picture shift problem" but my woe is slightly different.
I am having trouble with the TV not switching over to the AV channel when the STB is turned on. Every now-and-then it works, but not very often!
I have found a way around it that works 100%, although I'm not happy. I should add that I have a wide screen Philip's TV. If you configure the STB for 4:3 or 4:3 (Letterbox) all is OK on the switching front but I obviously don't get a W/S picture. The TV switched OK with the old PACE STB and still works OK with my Freeview box and video recorder.
I have disconnected all other SCART lead just in case there could be some interference, still no change. Even changing for different SCART leads makes no difference.

The software build is: 3_1_1_P2N_N-S2100, BTW I am in South Manchester.
