Hi all,

Now that I have a specific group, I can ask some specific questions :)

I'm in Perth and have the Thomson STB (have had it for a month).  Here
are my questions:

Channel 9 takes FOREVER to 'connect' whenever you select it.  That is,
the screen remains frozen on the last station for approx 2 mins before
9 appears.  Does anyone else have this problem?  It didn't happen
originally, just for the last couple of weeks.  I've also noticed that
9's description is now "Nine Test 1" or words to that effect.  I've
performed a rescan and have no new channels come up.

Ch 9 is much louder than the other stations, any ideas on this?
Anyone got any contacts at 9?

Ch 7's stereo signal appears to be stuffed.  I get more signal out of
the left speaker than the right in pure stereo mode and when I select
Pro-logic, dialog is mainly LF rather than centre.  I spoke to a tech
there, but he didn't get back to me.

When is the ABC going to stop trying to fool us with their 14:9 stuff?
They're just cropping normal 4:3 programs.

I've posted my opinions on the Thomson firmware in another NG before,
but it really IS horrible.  I hope that the 2nd or 3rd generation
boxes will be a lot better.  I really would like to lock out those HD
channels!

Simon....

PS: If anyone wants to know how to reset the PIN for the setup menu,
just ask.
