I've been getting similar problems ever since going to digital. Both with TV and BB (but they never seem to go down together???
). The problems seem to come in batches. I don't have a problem for several weeks, then I have grief every day for a fortnight.
I've been told it's because my signal is poor, very close to the threshold. Unfortunately, it has always been like this even from the analogue days as Nynex, CWC, and NTL would not do anything to boost the signal (Too pricey, I suppose). To be honest, they did upgrade the co-ax to my house, and that did improve matters slightly, but it hasn't cured them.
Unfortunately, BT say I'm also too far away from the exchange for ADSL, so I'm currently stuck with rebooting every so often. The price I pay for living on the edge of civilization I guess!
