Re: VOD Software arrives in Surrey !
 
OK - my box upgraded and said you have new features, but what to do with it?

I expected to see some of the free BBC playbacks under 'On Demand', but just the standard Movies/Events/Adult.

Is there no free VOD content yet?

If I get a On Demand movie now, how do I pause/rewind etc?

Is there a guide to VOD (other than Tristan's behind the scenes guide)?

The way it typically works is that the VOD software is rolled out first, with the servers being switched on a week or two afterwards. This way, the NTL guys only have one set of potential problems to deal with at a time.

You won't have any new features until this happens. However, you should notice that the STB is less prone to crashing and is a bit more responsive than before. Also, teletext provision seems to improve with every release, so you may find that's better too...

About four weeks ago, if you're in Kirklees. The servers haven't been switched on yet though.

I got a "software updated" message today, but it said the main improvement was the programme guide :confused:

Got it in Hertford last night, caused C4 to dissapear for a while, though it was available on the bypass feed.

VOD Launched in Surrey
 
As the title suggests, VOD is now available in Surrey/Hampshire areas (original ntl). All seems to work ok and quite a large selection of music/films etc..

All seems to be working here in GU22. Quite impressed so far.

NDE01 usually indicates an error with the return path. What happens if you press the Interactive button on your remote control?

GU15: it works here. I watched "Father ted" (for free) but the colour was not quite right

Interactive is fine. Have tried a reboot or two but no joy.
