Oh, that's a bit worrying! What settings do you have and where are you based? Sure other Glasgow punters had this issue.

Currently got mine set to HDMI 1080i wide, will try other settings.

I'm using 720p via HDMI with a Samsung LCD TV. I'm not in Glasgow at the moment, though.

Thanks quadplay, I've tried all the settings on the TVDrive with no joy - including 720p (normal and wide). Get a picture from every other station except 108.

Sounds like it's a problem in the Glasgow area,..

Got it installed on Saturday and I'm very impressed. Even BBC HD works via scart which is amusing :)

Do you get a popup warning you that you're watching a HD channel via a SD connection? You should...

I was told to ring back in December. Then again, I was also told that the TV Drive installs are for Glasgow only at the moment - a quick search through Cable Forum reveals that statement as......false. :p:

I'm gonna ring back tomorrow and see what they say then.

What's this about 5.1? I haven't heard that one before. Is this true? Also anyone know a date more specific than 2007 for Wirral?

Last i heard was January for Warrington and the Wirral "thats not me giving out a official date btw". That's when i am hoping to be installed. I spoke to a couple of the techs for those areas who have told me they have been trained up ready. Only time will tell.

Oh and that's 2007 before someone ask's. :angel:

would be good if NTL would update their website and actually mention this.. had a look round over the weekend and couldn't find anything just a mention of VOD

they have something better than Sky but they aren't promoting it

Well the one only fault i've seen and it might be through that total tit of a tech guy, my mum tried recording holby city, recorded ok or so i she thought then late last night she tried to watch it but this error popped up and said to try and fix this please reset the TVD, needless to say it didn't fix it but lucky for her it was back on last night.

No I didn't. Will it appear everytime you tune to the channel or just for the first few occasions? :)
