Gillf: If you are not receiving any signal whatsoever then the problem is liable to be caused by something associated with your installation, however Walthams PSB3 / HD service on C58 as well as COM5 / C56 has been problematic throughout the entire day.

Hi BT are my current broadband suppliers,and it includes the BT vision deal.If I switch contract to different source ie Piusnet how does that effect my use of the vision box for record and catchup? Thank you

a jamieson: If BT take away your Vision box, then just get a Humax recorder (£179.95) - they are pretty much the same thing (just Iplayer). The Youview version of the Humax is called the DTR T-1010 (so the nearest to your current box) and is currently £249.
There is a new version of the BT box (a bit smaller) is out for retail sale http://www.johnlewis.com/…9313 at £199.95, and you might get one of the slightly older model, which was £169.95.

a jamieson: Since I dont have such a box/BT contract, I cant say for certain, but apart from not being able to get the BT channels, I assume everything else should be fine. I dont think its like Sky, where not contract means no recording.
BTW - the irony of your possible move to Plusnet (which gets good reviews) is thats its owned by BT!
