Hi -

I joined this forum just to ask if anyone else in Belfast has this same problem?

After the STB software update ( Monday I think ?) the 'mute' button has been rendered useless.

Pressing it gives the crossed out speaker icon but volume remains unaffected.

However, if you lower volume with the 'minus' button it goes down to zero then displays the sound muted button.
Press 'mute' again and the volume goes up to '8 best' instantly.

I use NTL for broadband and am happy with the service so digital tv isn't a deal-breaker for me but I think whoever is in charge of the STB software needs a much better beta-testing regime.

For me the software gets worse every point update.

(e.g. does anyone else have a random 5 - 60 second delay while the STB decides to change to the station they have chosen, I know it isn't the remote as the STB is indicating an action is in progress with the green LED)
