Interactive
 

Can anyone think what interactive should mean.

if so can they tell NTL what do you think it should do

Interactive should mean being able to take part in TV gameshows etc..

Also should mean being able to watch whatever sporting events are available with various different camera options etc...

Currently i think ntl: are trying hard to provide these facilities and the ones they do provide are quite good.

Should it work all the time

Mine works all the time. :)

it does not freeze or lock up the box which STB:confused:

Pace 1000 never really had any problems, had only a few freezes in 4 or 5 years! :)

So you will be promoting the wondefull interactive service on your new site from next tuesday will you:rolleyes::D

Well i cant really see whats wrong with my ntl: interactive service. I mean it works fine, i have very fast access to 5 screens for Wimbledon as well as many more interactive features. Id say that it has vastly improved over what it was as little as three months ago!

Just because you may be having problems with your interactive service does not mean everyone is having problems does it?

My interactive works perfectly and is as good as Sky interactive and has all the features that Sky interactive has.

Ooops, sorry about that, was looking at my Sky system.

Now for the NTL interactive then. Press red button, wait, wait, wait, reset box, try again, reset box.

Is there a NTL interactive system?

Personally I'd like the chance to have problems, must be nice for people like you on the bromley platform!!
Here on the "other net" we have a couple of HTML pages that crash the box every time it loads, and I have a 4010 box!!!:rolleyes:

I was giving a personal opinion on the service, not an opinion of everyone on both networks. If you only want to **** off ntl for thier attempts at an interactive service ill bow out of this thread but i was merely defending ntl as they meet my own personal expectations. :)

Interactive means getting yer arse up off the chair to walk over to the STB to unplug it,wait 30 seconds and plug it back in.
Can't be simpler.

That's definately interacting with your tv - or is it interacting with your plug socket:p Either way this crap game has been going on for long enough. Sky have a briliant interactive service - I know because I've got Sky as well but NTL are just shit. Will they ever have a decent interactive service - yes when hell freezes over and they listen to what customers want instead of throwing us a shit service and expecting us to like it or lump it.

Right. NTL offer a far better interactive service than Sky -- that is, being able to send info both ways. With NTL, this is almost always free, as opposed to being a premium rate phone call on Sky.

Where Sky lead the way by miles, however, is in enhanced TV, the 'red button' content.

As to Jamie's comment about NTL listening to what their customers want, they know very well that people want e-TV. Unfortunately for them, only half the network supports it. Now I'm sure they're leaning on the programmers as much as possible to get Langley CR3 done, but in the mean time, what are they to do?

They can either enable it for Bromley, and have Langley customers complain because they don't have what the other half do, or not enable it at all and have Bromley people complain because their software supports it, and NTL choose not to enable it. Either way, they are going to get complains. What would you do?

Been using today for the tennis reboot needed
