We got one on Saturday last - what a piece of junk!
First of all, there is a clearly audible "whirring" noise coming from it constantly. Like the whirr from a hard disk on an old PC. I rang NTL on Saturday (and actually got to talk to someone!) , held the phone up to the DVR and she agreed "That's not right!!".
Secondly, the menus are totally different from the STB, which i can probably live with long term, but............
Third, the remote control from the DVR does not and cannot control the volume on the TV: you have to use the volume control on the TV's remote control. Seriously!!!
Fourth, we have it for ,what, four days now and had to reboot it at least 5 times when the remote refused to change channels or do anything else (it kind of froze, if you know what I mean).
Anyway, they have made an appointment to come back and take a look at it. If they can't rectify it, I'll be asking for my STB back.
Anyone else got similar experience?
