Re: BMR When?
 

Bit early for the cracker jokes isn't it?

Re: BMR When?
 

I believe its the new year.

They were due to release it before Christmas but didnt want to cock everything up before creating a massive work load.

Re: BMR When?
 

Well, we test the software and report problems, and then they try and fix the problems. i don't think i should say anymore (ntl know where i live :Yikes: ) :D

Re: BMR When?
 

Why mention it in the first place then? I hate when someone 'says' they know something but 'can't' say the information. Is it that big a deal? I know I've been waiting a bloody year for them to fix one rather large bug. If they don't put the sound level back to what it was I'll track down the muppet who wrecked it and wrap the flex from my stb round his f'ing neck.

GET ON WITH IT ALREADY.

Re: BMR When?
 

Err, he was replying to someone else's question.

Anyway, he probably has had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, so by revealing too much, could have NTL take action against him. So yes, if you are a Beta tester, have signed an NDA and wish to avoid (potentially legal) action, yes it is a huge deal. I was under these agreements when I tested for Microsoft.

Re: BMR When?
 

thank you.

:)

Re: BMR When?
 

Don't mention it in the first place? Not difficult is it? Not if you've signed something? Not unless you're just being a (rhymes with punt).

So, no one knows this mystical date of release then. And don't say 'next year', cos someone said that last year, and guess what...

Re: BMR When?
 

As I stated, he was answering someone else's question... Also, there is no need for insults (even disguised).

And, TBH, if the software is still in beta, I doubt anyone who knows the exact date would be willing to post it as it may change (particularly if they find a nasty bug).

Re: BMR When?
 

what could rhyme with punt i wonder? :rolleyes:

anyway... BMR is coming soon :disturbd:

:angel:

Re: BMR When?
 

I'd leave it at that. Don't wanna jepordise your place on the trials team by revealing confidential information such as coming soon... :shocked: :p: ;)

Re: BMR When?
 

He mentioned it because I asked him a question about it. So get off his back.

There's just no pleasing you is there? At least now you know that work is being done, and progress is being made. If you didn't know the BETA tests were taking place, then you'd you be complaining that you'd heard nothing from ntl instead.

And if you're that desperate for the next software version, why didn't you sign up to the BETA tests yourself? I'm sure it's been fixed in there, and we wouldn't have had to listen to you harping on about it. Everyone would be happy.

And by the way, when was there ever an official announcement from ntl regarding when software was to be released?

When the law says they have to have one.

Re: BMR When?
 

OK, fair point, but nowhere in there does it say anything about a planned release for this year, as garyparsons seems to think he was told.

Browneggsandham :)

Re: BMR When?
 

Nice one!!!! :)

I've been waiting over a year now and am more than entitled to be cheesed off with the lack of progress of fixing a major issue like the sound being screwed. Unlike browneggsandspam I'm not happy til it's fixed. If i wanted a substandard service i'd still be on analogue.

Re: BMR When?
 

If you bothered reading the post above, you would see that although Tristan's link does give vague dates for expected software releases, nowhere does it mention that BMR was expected this year, as you claim ntl said.

You didn't answer my question. Why did you not sign up to the BETA trials when they were announced, as surely that would have saved you waiting until the general release? And finally, no-where have I said I'm happy with the problem. I'm not, but I have other, more important things to worry about than a TV software release. As has been said before, if you're not happy with the service, then change providers. Complaining won't speed up the development of the software. If they had rushed it out, you would instead be complaining about why they hadn't ironed out any bugs before doing so.
