May seem like a stupid query for here, and indeed I don't know if this is the right forum for it...
I have 1Mb through a STB.
Computer is upstairs, STB is downstairs with TV. The girlfriend uses the email function from the STB/TV a hell of a lot, and more often than not several times a day the whole thing seems to "lock up" and nothing works... the only solution is to unplug the STB and reconnect it after 10secs or so.
Obviously, this is seriously beginning to miff me right off whilst I am upstairs on broadband.
Why is it doing this, and more importantly, is there anything I can do.. can I request a cable modem? Is it worth it? etc etc
Any help appreciated - I haven't phoned 'em up yet.
