Re: What NTL STB do you have
Two that both do their job and crash about once every 4 months which is stable enough for me.
Perhaps a better thread would be "how reliable is your STB?"
I have to reset it
Daily
Daily it also runs BB/XBL
Weekly
Weekly it also runs BB/XBL
Monthly
Monthly it also runs BB/XBL
Quarterly

Less Frequently

Should just be a case of literally lifting the box up and looking underneath

Re: What NTL STB do you have
i reboot everyday...the result of using interactive, it works fine until you exit the interactive, then it all goes wrong.
i have broadband though the stb---1000+ type.
the 1000 box was the best, it lasted 3 years, then one day it died...it still hurts thinking about it.
4000 boxes are CRAP, i mean why make them? they just don't work!!!

You can press the up, down and blue buttons on your remote control simultaneously, choose the 'More' option and the third screen will tell you under Hardware type.

Yes it doesn't work for me either!! However in another thread ( http://forum.nthellworld.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4860) it know appears that it may only work in ex C&W areas!!
