If I told you that I would have to kill you.
Hi,

New to the forum so forgive me for saying anything stupid.

I got a "special" TW box, and it stopped working a few days ago. I'm 90% sure its because of teleport, as I have seen a few posts that have the same prob as me. The box is a pace (standard ones TW dish out). Anyone know what's causing this and also how to fix it.

Would apprediate any help.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

Thanks for the advice. Introduced myself in the newbies section.

OK, This is what I can tell you about the cable box:

When I got it all the guy who sold it asked me is the area I live in (Sutton/Mitcham) so he could set the net id and freq and my cable provider (TW)

1. The box is a NTL pace box that I am using to recieve TW (has NTL menus and stuff)

2. The card is a NTL card (probably modifed)

3. When it boots up all it does is go to channel 47. All you see is a black screen and the 'now and next' bar with the time and date but no program listings showing. You can change channels but they are all black.

Anything else anyone wants to know just.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

hi m8,

thanks for the reply.

I was using the box for quite a while before it stopped working so I dont think thats the prob.

Its only since teleport rolled out in my area that its stopped working. Thts what why I suspect thts the prob.

Thanks for the reply anyway,

i dont think you can use a ntl box in a telewest area m8

It is possible (or was!), NTL CR1 and CR2 did work on TW but due to the Teleport CR4 upgrades on TW they no longer work.

If the box is a 1000 Phase 1b it would be possible to get it to update on TW to CR4 but any other model may need to be reflashed manually.
