STB Problem
I was watching the football on BBC 1 the other day, i think it was Everton v Man U, and during the game, the channel changed to BBC 2 for about a minute (but the number on the STB still said 101), then went back to BBC 1 is there something wrong with my box, i did not have the remote anywhere near me at the time so i couldnt have accidentally pressed a button on it. I have noticed this has happened before whilst recording a programme and it changed channel for a minute then changed back again, but this happened only with BBC 1 and BBC 2, so it could be something happening at the BBC?? Just checking on here to see if you are aware of the issue.

I was watching Bowling for Columbine the other night and at 00:10 the screen went blank then changed channel then switched back after I had missed about 5 minutes of the film.
I thought this had been changed / fixed.

I got that exact same problem, hasn't happened since, NTL or BBC issue, doesn't really matter though as it hasn't happened again.

It was a BBC cock-up - they apologised for it after the programme had finished.
