Ummm, what's VDO?

Re: Set Top Box
 

Video on Demand

Re: Set Top Box
 

So that would be VoD then?

Umm, Ok.

Well, :welcome: to CF.

If you want to know what STB my cable TV comes through then it's manufactured by Samsung.

Re: Set Top Box
 

Ok, just read another thread and I guess that wasn't what you meant. Sorry, haven't got VoD.

Re: Set Top Box
 

If you mean video on demand, then it's not live here yet.

It will be used through regular NTL STBs, which are manufactured by Pace and Samsung.

Hi Tristan,
Do you have any info as to when VOD will be available please? :)

Re: Set Top Box
 

I've no more idea than anybody else. NTL say it will start rolling out in Q1 next year. We shall see.

Why do you think I'd know? I don't work for 'em! :)

Re: Set Top Box
 

Ah, well, you see, I didn't know that they planned to roll it out next year.

Apologies if I got the wrong Tristan.

Re: Set Top Box
 

As far as I know there's only one of me :S

Personally I think it will have to wait until the next round of software upgrades in Bromley areas, but I might be wrong :)

Re: Set Top Box
 

Does anyone ever heard about Kreatel STB's?? Akimbo STB's?? GCT-Alwell STB's??

Thanks!

Re: Set Top Box
 

As far as I know, the only ones used by UK cablecos (NTL and Telewest) are manufactured by Pace or Samsung.

Re: Set Top Box
 

However. looking at a picture of the new PVR STB planned for release by Telewest next year, it seems to be manufatured by Scientific Atlanta (as far as I can make out from the picture).

Re: Set Top Box
 

Telewest already use a box made by Scientific Atlanta (the SA4000)
