NTL small STB problem - browse with reminder problem

Hi, I don't know what has happened here...

I usually unplug my box everynight so updating is no problem ever.

For the last two days the browse button works as normal when looking at the 'now & next' items on screen. I have the small Pace STB. Anyway, as I browse and find a channel I want to watch, I then hit the ok button and for some reason the reminder dialogue box comes up. Now, I am only select the Channel name, not the programme and this this happens also if I select the programme that is currently on (normally impossible to remind as it is already started). So, when I do get to the channel I want to watch I have to remember the channel number and punch that in instead...bit of a headache.

I went into my Diary after and found lots of reminders but it was all gobble-di-gook. Lots of letters and characters that don't make any sense....it makes no sense!

Anyway, anyone here have the same issues? BTW I'm on MMDS.
