But then has NTL ever made any sense.

Re: new remote

OK, just got a new remote (with a new STB to replace a duff C&W one). Now, is it just me or does the mute button not work.

Re: new remote

mute works on our remote.

The volume didn't but we had to enter a code for our tv and now it all works apart from a dogdy select button.

If you had a C&W box I assume you are in a Bromley area. The mute button has no function on the current Bromley software, I believe. Have you programmed the correct code into the remote for your TV?

I've got the remote for the samsung box and recently it lost it's code settings for the tv and the mute button worked. I'm on Bromley, as I'm ex-cwc.

Re: new remote

We've just had a Samsung box fitted recently to replace a PAce box (on Langley). The mute function doesn't work with the Samsung box, yet it did with the Pace one....pretty inconvenient when the phone rings, as we have the TV hooked up to the hi-fi so it means getting up to turn the hi-fi volume down.

As for remotes, we had one changed a few years ago because the labels started falling off the buttons, so you didn't know which button was which. They replaced it free of charge, I told them it seemed a bit of a daft design putting the label on the button rather than next to it like a lot of TV remotes etc.
