Channels keep freezing

My channels have been going off then back on for the last hour, I keep losing channels for about 10 seconds, about half an hour a go I lost the lot, I've took my card out and rebooted the box but it still keeps doing it.

Re: Channels keep freezing

Came here to get some advice about a frozen channel but having read the bumptious unhelpful posts. I don't think I'll bother asking. This is one forum I can live without.

I've been thinking along the same lines for a few weeks. Kids hey who'd have them.

Re: Channels keep freezing

Mine has been freezing and jumping for the last three weeks. Finally contacted NTL on Thursday and its going to take 8 days to get an engineer out.

Friday morning it was 10 times worst and impossible to view but NTL still maintained they couldn't come out any sooner. Anyway, tried to reboot the box friday night again and it just hangs on the NTL updating your services screen. Tried over and over again and it will not get pass this screen.

Tried rebooting again this morning and it now says I have no channels

Thought that was just us with the otherwise constant jittery picture on most channels now (since STB replacement a week ago). Seems I was wrong.

I'm in Rochdale, which is nowhere near yourself Cooperman... does anyone else have picture freezing on ch812 (Sky Sports News)??

Re: Channels keep freezing

Everyone who has posted about faulty channels: Have you reported them to NTL?

Re: Channels keep freezing

No, because I think it may have something to do with the VOD rollout work, plus we've had a letter about software problems in my area.
