yep but then your going to manly overide when it appears. As this does not alter the time the device is going to switch to that channel.

problem is if you are going out and set a reminder to record a program. Thats when this issue raises its ugly head badly. Which resulted me losing the start of terminator 2 the other day. Had set the NTL box to come on and my pvr to record it.

The only way is to keep the ntl box on ready on the correct channel. Not bother use the reminder feature.

However if there is more than one program your going to record on NTL channels its a big issue. Especially if its on a troubled problem channel.

I don't know what can be done to be honest. Its not NTL fault but those channels who broadcast programs out of the scheduled timeframe.

I am suprised this has not been spotted by others. I not one to complain we all have had niggles this is one. I been quite a happy cableler since diamond was our provider. I just hope a work a round can be sought.

It would be interesting to know if NTL PVR users have found similar issues.
