Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
 

So if I read this right ... (I live in Walthamstow ex-CWC ) i am looking at least until 2006 for this upgrade and even then I still wont get VOD ?

I have only been waiting for over 6 years now for NTL to finally bring ex cWC into line with the rest of NTL ( still no caller display on the phone ) .... so I guess my 10 mb broadband upgrade is a long time away too !

Received a letter in Watford on Saturday, any idea what dates the rollout is planned for?

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
 

People in Leeds and Wessex franchises should receive the code if they leave their boxes in standby from today.

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
 

Damn right and it screwed up too.
Box froze after update and constantly kept freezing at same point after ten second unplug. Rung up customer service and they said someone would be out tomorow!
But this was in the middle of football so I decided to fiddle. I held power button on the pace box when I plugged NTL box in and then it said 'OKAY' on the LED and I had to put in a 4 digit code, this didn't work for first 4.
BUT THEN! I tried 1144 'ok' and it totally reset the box came up with some factory reset message and then re-downloaded the update and sky sports came back up!
I used all my luck guesssing this code so I didn't win my best though

It's quite possible for an update (any update) to kill the box, if the NVRAM hasn't been written to in a while. It's just the nature of electronics. I wouldn't cancel the engineer visit though - the box may well die properly in the not too distant future!

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
 

Will start on the 5th of October in Watford

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
 

That's probably what happened, don't think it had ever had an update... Oh well if it breaks again I'll just ring up - was well chuffed at guessing the code out of 9999 possibilities, before I started guessing I came on here but couldn't see anyone with the code to enter...
Again it's 1144.

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
 

What software is currently running in WATFORD is it still CR1 Bromley?

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
 

Thanks very much, is it for all STB's on Standby, reboot or forced?

Is it make and model specific, Pace STB's before Samsung etc?
