Two questions...
 

Hi,

I have two questions.

a) Could anyone kindly tell me when the CR3 software (or whatever it is, I forgot it's name) will be coming to Heywood. (Heywood is 1 mile east of Rochdale, Greater Manchester).

b) I have what seems to be a USB port in the back of my set top box. What is it's use?

My questions appeared second on the list, so I posted a new message so it would be first again. Naughty, but I want these answers lol

I would have thought that your area got CR3 over a year ago. :shrug: Cos that's when we got it and were both ex-cwc.

USB, you can connect various gadgets to your computer.

Re: Two questions...
 

Sounds good... what kind of gadgets?

I like how ntl never tell you any of this... I'd have never known if I'd have relied on them for information.

And nope - my sisters, my mother and my brother all still have the old software. There has definately not been an upgrade in this area yet.

Hi


You do have CR3 in your area :). Is the frontend pink on your settop. The tv guide i mean by that not the Box :LOL:

The usb on the rear of your settop was going to be used for differant things in the beginning. However i know of no applications that have or are being made for the port.

Re: Two questions...
 

As others have said, you should already have CR3. It should look something like this:

The USB port on the STB i had worked :)

I plugged my Nokia USB charger in :P

Although that was bound to work, as it only uses the power of the port.

Maybe it was intended to be used for broadband, if the user didnt have a network card?

I can also confirm that you should have CR3. I live in Oldham and all of Rochdale came under the same upgrade. We've had it for way over a year now. If you for some reason havent got it, try rebooting the boxes. If you still dont get it, ring ntl up, as there may be a signal problem :erm:

Re: Two questions...
 

If I remember rightly :erm: the CR3 upgrade happened about November 2002 in the NW

Re: Two questions...
 

Yes, I am a fool, sorry, I do have CR3.

Wasn't there another software type which actually made the interactive system work properly?

urm... you are thinking of Sky aren't you?! ;) :pp

Re: Two questions...
 

lol yes, probably.

Oh buggar, just when my hopes were built up.

I should have known better to expect something half decent from ntl.

Well, MR1 was a patch (update) for CR3 in Bromley areas, and made it possible for ETV apps such as Wimbledon to be provided.

Don't get too down :pp

Bromley areas should be getting the MR2 release sometime over the next few months, which will bring it in line with LCR3.
