A couple of months back our digital set top box packed in. I contacted NTL and they exchanged the box. Since then the picture on BBC2 (analogue) has been very poor with wavy lines going across the screen. I thought it may have been something to do with my home made splitter taking the picture to another room, I removed this but it has made no difference. I contacted NTL who checked the STB and said that there was no fault showing there and there must be some fault with the set up. We ordered a second STB for the other room and when the engineer called to install that we asked him to have a look at the first box. He checked and removed an adaptor to one of the connections and this seemed to clear up the problem. Later we found that the problem was still there. The funny thing is if we record a programme on the VCR and play that back the picture is perfect. Anybody have any suggestions? There is no problem with the picture on any programme with the second box.
