I'm in Stockport, ex CWC, Bromley I think with a Pace 1000 box that's years old (still has Cable and Wireless on the front).

Noticed the channel 7 thing happening over night for the last few weeks but not really thought anything of it. Suddenly at about 9:30pm yesterday the box went balistic, changing channel on it's own (sometimes to front row, sometimes to other random channels), freezing, sticking with the now and next box on screen and just generally acting as if the remote either had a fault, duff batteries or a key stuck down. Not sure what channel I was on at the time.

Something similar happened but to a lesser extent one night last week so I changed the batteries even though they were only a few months old. That seemed to sort it.

Last night I took the batteries out of the remote and the box continued to do it, particularly if you used the front panel buttons to do something.

Rebooted it several times and it kept on doing it.

This morning it appeared to be fine.

Not sure if this is connected but the time has also been out in the now and next box everyday this week and a reboot doesn't seem to fix it, on Sunday it was hours out and refused to sort itself out.

I'm going to log it with customer services as I have had problems in the past with signal strength (I am the first house on the street so I have an attenuator or the box refuses to pick up certain channels).
