    Do you not use any catch up services like iPlayer?

    Not sure why - but simply change your password on your router.

    Since most of the extra functions on a G2 box use the internet, why do you wish to cripple your box in this way ?

    Don't you ever say tune to a BBC programme that has already started and you fancy watching it from the beginning. It's a one button press to do so.

    Over the last 2 or 3 weeks pretty well all BBC1 SD and HD programmes have faile to record or chopped off the beginning

    Iplayer has been the only way to view them.

    You paid a lot of money for a box and then want to cripple it to a level where a much cheaper box would suffice.

    Sorry to me that just does not compute

    You could simply turn off DHCP on your router or even turn off WiFi completely.

    I understand you don't want to use the Wi-Fi features.
    However, If you turn of your internet connection,
    You Do realise you will cease to receive any Box updates, or in fact any upgrades as they are now delivered via the internet.
    A Prime example is the 4000t boxes are now on the same software as the newer 5000t box.
    Therefore any glitches you may come across now will stay with you.
