Re: news24 interactive
 

I beleive this requires an update to the current Bromley 3.1 software (and possibly Langley 3.1, I'm not sure).

If it's any consolation, it works very nicely (if a little slowly) on Telewest, and with better picture quality than Sky's version, too...

Re: news24 interactive
 

Thank you for that reply. It does seem odd that if Sky, Telewest and Freeview can manage this service but ntl seems as though it can't News 24 interactive has been around for a fair while now but ntl has still chosen not to offer a service which every ntl subscriber pays for out of their licence fee.

Mind you, given that any form of interactive service causes the set-top boxes not to work then maybe it might be best NOT to offer News 24 Interactive because every time I tried to watch Score Interactive, it said "service not available at this time" and then crashed the box.

Re: news24 interactive
 

Well that was sort of the point I was making. Telewest use the same Pace boxes as NTL, and their software is based on Liberate 1.2 as NTL's is. The difference is that Telewest are using a later version than NTL (in fact, IIRC, it's actually the way the Pace drivers handle things that's the problem). When NTL get around to updating B3.1, then the multiscreen immediately becomes feasable (and, in fact, likely).

Re: news24 interactive
 

it's not gonna happen mate ! why would ntl provide you with an interactive service when that's what you pay for ? they don't work like that.

Re: news24 interactive
 

very good point i think the only way they will wake up is when we all start walking ( wont they ? ) :Yikes:

Re: news24 interactive
 

true !

i walked last week..... i'm now ntl free (except for my final bill that i'm still waiting for).

Re: news24 interactive
 

I think he's went to find another thread he can post in about how bad Ntl is, how much he loves Sky, how bad Ntl is and how glad he is that he left.

Not forgetting how bad he thinks Ntl is.

And now back on topic...

Re: news24 interactive
 

and back to the subject please.......

Re: news24 interactive
 

What is ntl's excuse for not offering News 24 interactive?

PS This is my 100th post! Yay!

Re: news24 interactive
 

wish we could get the rest of the interactive services

Re: news24 interactive
 

The team can only pass on questions to people in NTL, they cannot demand an immediate answer or for them to post on here. I'm sure that the query has been passed on to someone who might be able to shed light on it, it may take more than a week for it to be answered though ;)

Re: news24 interactive
 

Thanks for the clarification Paul.

I wait with bated breath ... :erm:

Re: news24 interactive
 

As did I aardvark. trouble is is that Sky trumps ntl every time. Everything appears on Sky first, Freeview second and then finally Telewest with ntl either getitng it many months/years later or not at all. News 24 interactive ahs been around for a year plus but ntl seems not willing to provide a service paid by the licence fee user and available to all other digital users.

Cheers on your congrats too, as I indeed post number 101!

:notopic:

*cough*

ABC1 anyone?

Re: news24 interactive
 

As Tristan pointed out at the very beginning of this thread, it has nothing to do with ntl not being willing to provide the service. It comes down to current software limitations. Once the software has been upgraded in certain areas, they will be able to provide the service, which I'm sure they will.
