I'm on Telewest Cable, and switched from Analogue to Digital several months ago, and was surprised and annoyed to find that, unlike Analogue, Digital has no timer faciility for switching channels automatically. Possibly even more annoying is that if you go on holiday, and leave the cable box on a channel, hoping to record a progamme or series of programmes, the cable box seems automatically to switch from that channel to a menu channel after a certain length of time. Another downside with Digital is that the 888 subtitles are either non-existent or tend to go off during a programme. All in all, I've found the transfer from Analogue to Digital one of those many IT "upgrades" that simply isn't. I'm well aware that the foregoing does nothing to answer your question, butit's good to get it off my chest!
