Signal problem/loss of service

Was watching Simpsons last night at about 6:10, and then the screen went blank for ages but eventually came back on... then it happened again a short while later?

Was this just one of NTL's famous problems with the signals on the box being too high, or was it due to some sort of local outage?

During the loss of service, the second light on the STB went out, so I presume it was something to do with my network connectivity....

Re: Signal problem/loss of service

just checked and there is / was nothing specific on the server status page , although there is a lot of work going on at the moment , it might just be one of those things , mind you it might be worth contacting ntl and asking them to check it out for you anyway
