Anyone on here with NTL and has one of their set-top boxes?
My mum has recently moved house and has a NTL set-top box. I hate cables and stuff on show so I moved it for her into a TV cabinet, but it would only fit if it was on its side, vertically, next to the TV.
Next time I called around, my SIL had moved it into another compartment, horizontally. She said that NTL would invalidate the warranty, would confiscate the set-top box and TV and would ban her from ever watching TV again (OK, I made some of that up ) if they came out and found it placed vertically .
To me, that is complete b*ll*cks. It's just electronics, not even any moving parts in there. If there were, it would still be b*ll*cks (as anybody with a computer can verify). Anybody heard of this with NTL (I can't get NTL so have never dealt with them and their website is useless and they can't be bothered to answer emails ).
The only possible concern would be air-flow, but I made certain that wasn't a concern before I thoughtfully placed it.
