Everytime I select on demand I get the menu (although with nothing on it) and the box freezes. Woman at NTL/Virgin told me to unplug it and plug it back in again. This worked and I watched 2 episodes of Dr Who and went to watch a third and it's doing it again

Anybody else having problems?

 

Sky is where its at.

 

Starting to think that myself. It's been good as gold until last weekend

 

Its those SHITE Pace box's, the amount of time ive cracked up with with it! thankfully got the new virgin HD+ plus box and its 10 times better

 

Is that the channel where you can watch what you want when you want ?

Except it never works, you press the red button and it takes ages to do anything and then locks up.

Total waste of fooking time.....

 

had it like 3 weeks now still haven been able to watch anything off it yet now it just tells me sorry for the error if it keeps happening to call

oh where is my sky gone

 

slim20012, give the card a jiggle or take it out an put it back in maybe?

neilm, Its an NTL service where BBC and 4 channels and maybe couple more films are hosted by NTL so that you can watch them anytime after they have been on the telly if you have missed it, sometimes the programmes come on that night a few hours after they been on, sometimes after 12 midnight or sometimes not for days after sometimes it doesnt even work, bein honest tho ive only had it not work a handfull of times

 

It's a Samsung box

 

Ah yea some people get the samsung box, mostly people have the pace box tho, I dunno bout the samsung box's never had or used one.

 

Bloke that came and did the install gave me it as he said the Pace was "a bit shit"

Went through 4 of them at our old place

 

Alright for some, we got a replacement, was hoping it'd be the samsung one till it came out the box

 

We got NTL boxes at home, they are total SHITE!!! Crash almost EVERY single time you try to use the menus!

I've just turned all the menus off and use my media center on my pc now. The only thing the box has to do is change channel (controled by media center).

 

Im sooooooooooooo glad i never took the VIP package that Virgin offered me for my new house. Would have been £85 per month just to have the same headache as you guys.

Sky have just offered me all channels, SKy+, 8mb broadband and evening and weekend calls for £53 per month, plus £11 for rental of BT landline for Sky Broadband, which come with a free netgear wireless router as well. and i can still watch lost and 24 on Sky One

You NTL customers, if you cant beat Sky, join em boys
