Got mine this morning in Peterborough too.
I had to reboot the Samsung, but the PACE came through by itself!

Ah Right, I'm Baguley here. :)

Thing is they won't do the whole of Manchester at once as its so massive.

Doing it in increments means that if anything goes wrong they can sort things quickly, plus I don't think NTL wants one of their biggest franchises in the the UK to go **** over tit. lol

Customers in Peterborough, Watford and Manchester 1 (Bolton and Greater Manchester) should now receive the updated code if they reboot their STBs. :)

OK - I'm in the Bromley area and every night for the past week the TV has flickeerd, we get fancy new blue info screens for a few seconds, the screen flickers again and we are back to purple. No amount of resetting makes any difference. Are these failed upgrades (I'm on the Sansung box) or is NTL just teasing me?

Check your SCART leads are plugged in properly.

It can't flicker between the old & new software. Either you have the new software or you don't.

Been a bit of a lurker but thought I would throw my two peneth in :)

Got the upgrade on Wednesday morning, all fine but flicking up or down through the channels seems slower since the upgrade. No big deal, I can live with it but unsure why.....have the old Pace box

They were supposed to change faster, but for some odd reason they ended up changing slower!
It's being looked into by the ntl software development team.

Anyone know when (or if) NTL are planning to correct the problem the new software causes with Tivos (can't change to a channel with repeated digits, eg, E4)?

There are a number of guys here who have TiVos, so we do know about it, but since most of us are on Langley it's not quite as high priority as it might be! You'll just have to wait for the NTLTVPVR (which sounds like a bad hand at Scrabble) which is *ahem* Coming Soon! ;)

Your best bet, I've found, is to use one of the Pace Slow codes, and position just one of the the IR blasters directly in front of the STB, about an inch away from the LED display. Hide the other blaster behind the TV or something. Even then, I find the keypresses aren't 100%...
