That is to be expected

That just seems to be the way it is (at least on pace boxes.)

Have you spoken to NTL about your interactive problems? Might be worth a call about that (and the on demand if that's still playing up). They might be able to replace your box with one that works

Re: error M044 and NO on demand available
What you need to do is:

1: Reboot STB.
Once rebooted do this to see if you have the connection status of "5 Connected" use your remote control for STB and in following order press page UP and then Page Down, then press the blue button, use the more option until you see Network information 3. You should see connection status of 5. Before you do this make sure you leave the STB for a couple of minutes after rebooting as the STB will need to get the TFTP, then carry out as mentioned.
Also check the 3 LED's next to the channel number the middle on should be solid if not you could have return path problem or the STB can't connect due to faulty STB.

Then try doing what initially caused the error to be displayed, to see if it happens again.

Re: error M044 and NO on demand available
Hrm missed all that.

Fault was that there was no return path for the set top to talk back to ntl, hence no/stuttery interactive.

Eng should be able to sort it.
