Screenshots of Tv Drive planner/software?
 
Hi

When TV drive comes to my area - Addlestone, Surrey, I am keen to ditch Sky if TV Drive is cheaper - as I will also require a multi room setup.

Anyway - I had NTl STB a few yeats back and the tv scheduler was dreadful along with the STB constantly freezing. Anyway - keen to see pics of the new TV schedule and setup, even more so if I can see pics of TV Drive setup.

Has anyone got any or can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Scott

Can someone also post pics of the device itself? Especially the rear... what ports does it have?

- Does it have UHF aerial passthrough like the Pace/Samsung STBs? Hope so as this will allow me to continue sending the signal around my house :) Anyone know the assigned frequency/channel no of the UHF output?

- Does it have audio L/R output so that I can run the sound through my surround amp?

TIA

NTL changed their STB software and EPG a couple of years ago and the TV drive will again have a different EPG. Its a modified Telewest EPG. On TV Drive you get an 8 day TV guide.

Here is a link to a shot of the back of the box

It does have L/R audio output as well as an optical out for connection to a surround sound amp.

The Telewest TV drive section of the forum might be a good place to look for more pics.

It does have an aerial combiner, but no RF bypass is available for it. The installer should set the RF channel appropriately for your area.

There's a few bits of that spec that aren't relevant to UK cable. e.g. you can't use the tuners in analogue mode and the Ethernet, USB, eSATA and IR remote out ports are not enabled.

Does that mean it won't do broadband in Bromley areas?
