I do get a load of 56 SDT Transport Errors: whatever they are)). No reboot was needed. There is no Ch 148, but that starts 2morrow, or Bravo 2 Ch 154.

PS I'm on the BROMLEY Network.

PPS No problems either with Paramount Comedy Channels.

Event logs? Where can one check these event logs?

I think that the event log shows the time in GMT.

Five Life is now on 186 here, and Five US has appeared on 185

No reboot was needed here

Yes, the time displayed in the Event Log is shown as GMT

Funny but after rebooting, the Five Life channel still stayed on the 149 channel even though it said 186. So I had to move it to the new position myself. Typical.

bayonet · 16-10-2006, 12:53

Got both now on 185 and 186 no reboot needed just on when I came home from work at 12.30

Quite strange - Ive noticed that a few other people have described the problem that I have seen - that Five Life has changed from channel 149 to 186, but remains in the same position (between channels 146 and 150 (or there abouts).

What on earth are NTL doing??

Its also getting annoying that the TV service appears to be becoming increasingly unstable - ie losing programme data and requiring frequent reboots (on all three STBs that we have)!!!!

Sort it out!!!!!!

After Five US was added to the Guide yesterday (and after Five Live moved from 149 to 186). My STB was running extremely slowly. Sometimes taking over a minute to respond to commands from the remote control, and this is after only having ntl TV for 10 days

Called up ntl, and was told to replace remote batteries. But i know it's not the batteries as the box DOES respond, just long after i press button on remote. Also, the Power light does flash red when pressing a key. And using the volume (and Mute) keys immediately make the appropriate changes to my TVs volume.

I have a Pace 4001 STB. Why are ntl still supplying Pace STBs? I was under the impression they were being replaced by the new Samsung one?

I had to move it on my list last night.

Saw a great program on it last night about people with facial disfigurements and them having surgery. The courage these people showed is a lesson to us all

RealDiamond · 17-10-2006, 16:27

the channel guilde postition is done when they update the box due to the number being 149 bye mistake it sits strangly enought between were 148 and 150 were. have you changed the non subscribed channels postion if its not on the default settings the channels wont line up again.

just like nat geo channel just stopped being free on ntl. so ive moved that to the bottom of the listings.

HSH85 · 17-10-2006, 16:32

Am I missing something? What's all the hype about with these two channels?

RealDiamond · 17-10-2006, 17:12

its quite simple the live sport/football on five will no longer push of the DIY shows off air because they are on totaly different channels. gone will be the days of a show changing time shifts all this results in more viewers.
The five US channels will expand as more US shows are avalible, which channel do you think Prison break season 2 will be on ?.
Once the fiveUS channel pays for itself i expect the US sport to move accross or be on both (US sports are not cheap) all of sunday night is taken up on them (even more if ya include the games on interactive).baseball,basket ball, Nascar, NFL, NHL,

P,s five is only doing what ITV did but ITV made mistakes and made ITV2 more popular than ITV1.
