Surely they'll disconnect it themselves, you don't need to?

My fitter was in a rush, didn't want a cuppa, or biscuites, but only advise I can suggest, as my stb then (an old pace) didn't get the downloads whilst the guy was there, and I was told to wait for about 20 to 30 minutes after he'd gone for this to be complete, is to ensure he leaves you with your pin numbers (I got mine on a big welcome to NTL book) for tv, this way, you can sort things out over the 'phone if things go pear shaped with customer services/tech support.

Re: Install digital tv

Never needed to press the help button, honest truth is, if I need any help here, just one post, and the experts will come quickly to sort things out for you.
Unsure about glasgow software, sure some one in the know will advise you soon.
