The only way I can record anything from ntl is using channel AV on my video and leave the STB on ther required channel and hope that it works. The reminder thing has never worked.

Cable companies have gone out of their way to make it impossible to record TV programmes, which seems to be to be a basic requirement of a television service. If my very old OnDigital box works every time then I fail to see why cable companies have deliberately put things in place to stop their customers from recording programmes.
