So watch out people in the Solent region, they told me that no installations are going ahead untill the 14th due to the network not being ready. So Blueview I'll be interested to hear whether your install goes ahead on Friday, if it does I'll be ringing ntl but I wouldn't be suprised if don't get a dreaded phonecall from ntl.
Blueview is on the other network (Langley) and won't have the same problem. Only Solent, Southampton and Wessex are affected.

BLUEVIEW is only based around the corner from me and we are on Bromley network. Mine is being installed on 1st Feb. Had no Dreaded phone call yet. But knowing NTL could be last minute!! I hope not

Mine's not booked til the 24th February but frankly if it got delayed it wouldn't stop me. I'd rather they got it right.

Couldnt agree with you more. Suppose i should prepare for the delay. But like Scrotnig says, i would rather they got it right.

Hi Busboy

Please let me know if your installation goes ahead as planned because if you and Blueview get yours installed then I'll know that I'm just being told a load of shi*t about no installations for Solent til the 14th due to network problems :mad:

Re: PVR release dates
 
I will let you know ecw199. I am just hoping they are saying the 14th because of it being official release date!! but still it would be nice for an explanation from NTL. Reading the forum, everybody has different information.

Re: PVR release dates
 
Yeah I was thinking that maybe they were moving people back til on or after the offical date. Perhaps because yours and Blueview's installs are so close they think its too short notice to change them. What I'd really like from ntl is some honesty, if they've booked to many installs then just say so, if they haven't got enough boxes then just say so -rather than telling you that no one has it when you know damm well they have. Okay rant over

I can confirm there is a broadcast problem that prevents TVDrive working properly in the Solent, Southampton and Wessex areas. A broadcast equipment upgrade is required to fix it.

Excuse my ignorance but is a TV Drive not just an STB with a trio of tuners and an HD? What needs to be up at the back end for it to work?

Well just returned from a dismal 0-0 scoreline at Fratton Park :o: to find that instead of being on Solent or Wssex or S**thampton network I may be on Bromley network. To be honest I had no idea what network I'm on, but as I have no idea where Bromley is I would have guessed Solent :dozey:
How do we find our network?:confused:
Anyway I still haven't had a phone call. But there's still 3 days to go before Friday afternoon ! Anything's possible with NTL though.

Bromley is the name of the main centre of half the nationwide NTL network (ex-C&W), Langley is the name of the other half (original NTL).
You can be on the Solent network but be served by the Bromley head-end.

So far all the PVR installs on NTL have been on Langley, I think.
Has anybody on Bromley had an install yet?

Its in, engineer came at 9.30am this morning, installed the tvdrive, its the new V+ box, virgin branded, with all the virgin software on there.
Took over 30mins for the signal to be 'hit' but got there eventually and all worked fine, looks great at 720 wide through hdmi.
Just playing around with it now.


All times are GMT. The time now is 00:23.
