Vertical white lines on the main menus and tv guide

I am getting verticle white line on the main menu and tv guide and also subtitles. I have been getting this at least over a year if I remember right!...I have to press reboot on the box and it is ok for so long before it happens again. I have a Scientific Atlanta box.

Is there anyone else has this problem?..And if so did you call and Virgin replace it with a new box?

Thanks

I would ring in anyway as the box sounds like it probably needs changing, amazed that you have put up with it for so long.

Aye it sounds like the graphics chip/memory that handles any overlays is dying (i've got a DVD player that has the same issue with subs*), as Masque says give them a ring.


*And I've seen it many times with dying videocards.
