Hi Towny, I guess maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I dont' know weather it's to do with having an old 1st generation 1000 pace box or it maybe something to do with my computer. Either way 2 times a year isn't bad.

Well I can't disagree with that. My STB (TV only, I have a SACM for BB) needs a re-boot probably every 8 weeks or so on average. But then I am a hopeless optimist and I do keep insisting on trying to use interactive.

NTL's Interactive service for digital TV is non-existant to say the least. Everytime I dare to try and press that (I) button, I end up craving to go upstairs to my PC and surf the web for a much pleasurable experience.

NP with the (I) button on our analog recievers

Motorola 4100 here, had 2 the 1st lasted 30 mins and died, the 2nd has never let me down. Its a work of art, shame Im leaving NTL but after I leave I may custom paint it, cut a side panel out add an led fan and place some poly there
