To be honest, its probably normal for all ntl STB's. 
It will probably work, but it may take a long time! Go make a cup of tea etc...

Re: Box freezing
tbh, as soon as I get to a point on the guide where it says 'searching' - if it takes more than 20 seconds, I think 'leave it!' and hunt out the free magazine you get with most weekend papers instead!

Re: Box freezing
This is less about the STB and more about the pants EPG that takes forever to update and download. It should update eventually, but as Monkey2468 says, make a cup of tea while you are waiting.

Re: Box freezing
Ive noticed the time it takes to update, hardly cutting edge is it?
Youd think in this day and age and on a state of the art fibre network, it would be instant, or am i just dreaming

Re: Box freezing
This is not the earth shaking cable tv that customer services keep trying to sell me is it? 
I think if it ever comes to having to buy a tv guide to see whats on tele i'll give in, good thing I have sky+  been reliable from day one, 12 months and counting
