Been watching some films on Netflix later in the evening recently and discovered that if they are streaming at midnight (or a minute or two later), the picture freezes and doesn't restart. The box is then completely frozen and the only way to get it going again is to cycle the power. It's happened twice so far. I searched the Internet and discovered that there are others with the same problems stretching back to April this year but there is no posted resolution by the OCE team. It can take about 10 minutes to get the film going again after a cold boot then loading the player etc.

I think this must be the Talktalk box going into a mode where it is checking for new software to download (either main box or players) as suggested in one of the posts above.
Given this is a critical defect (where only a power cycle can restore it), can anyone tell me if/when this is going to be fixed and if the engineers are looking into it?
