Re: Blank Channels
My TV services are OK, but as I'm in a completely different area to you, it has litle relevance.
If you are not recieving TV channels even after you have powered down and restarted your STB, then I'd be calling faults as the STB may need to have software resent, or worse.

Re: Blank Channels
Just spoken to a neighbour, he's is the same. Must be a fault at ntl's end. By the way, he on a different green box as well.

Re: Blank Channels
It's 3.30pm and they're still blank. I've tried a re-boot to no avail. As it's channels I hardly watch, I'm not too concerned.
Channels Blank are 123, 401R 402R 403R, 613, 808, 809, 810, 811, 868R and 904.
R = Radio.

I'd hazzard a guess that you're missing one multiplex. Most likely a bit of equipment that passes it down the cable at the headend (or possibly your local cabinet) has fallen over.
With a bit of luck, with enough people phoning from the same area, NTL will notice...
