[Merged] VOD Pick of Week - Missing Bits
 

Alright.... what clever clogs at NTL (or the Beeb) decided to have only part one of the Casualty two parter on On Demand?

Now I'll never know what happened! :shocked:

Re: On Demand
 

It will probably appear later in the week...

Re: On Demand
 

Hmm.... well the first part was on the same day it was shown. The second part was on the next day and............. nothing since.

Not looking hopeful, but I'll try and stay optimistic :p:

Re: On Demand
 

the always seem to do that

so bought a freeview pvr funny thing is i seem to watch that more than ntl now beging to wonder if i will bother with them much longer

Re: On Demand
 

On demand is a great idea, if only you knew what stuff was going to be on there. Anyone got a copy of Causalty Part 2 ?

Pick of the Week - Missing Bits
 

Hi All

Posting on behalf of the Mrs.......

She has just watched Saturday nights edition of Casualty via the OnDemand Pick of the Week......as it finished it said "Part 2 tomorrow night".....

Guess What.......

Part 2 is not on OnDemand - who should the problem be addressed to? What is the point of showing Part 1 and then not Part 2 and then showing the normal Saturday episode next week ????

Re: Pick of the Week - Missing Bits
 

Either it'll be available later in the week, or the (automated?) system hasn't picked up that it was a two parter...

Perhaps it's been assumed that Casualty is Saturday night & Saturday night alone!

Re: Pick of the Week - Missing Bits
 

Thks for the answer - was thinking along the lines of "series link" so who needs a nudge ??? BBC or NTL ? Is it available on the pick of the week on other platforms ?

Re: Pick of the Week - Missing Bits
 

the pick of the week thing often takes its time to catch up... things appear two or three weeks after they've been on telly, and there's still an old top gear episode from august on there somewhere!? :rolleyes: can't complain really; it is free after all. :)

But if you can't rely on these programs being on there it makes it a useless freebie. Need to get the mothballs off th VCR :(

What really annoys me is I saw part one was on pick of week so was watching that while Part two was in transmission, expecting that to appear later. They got the part one and two of the first spooks episodes, this weeks hasn't shown up yet.

VOD when launched was supoposed to be brilliant, and ntl's answer to SKY+, at the moment, it isn't showing it's potential for me.

Re: [Merged] VOD Pick of Week - Missing Bits
 

So who do we need to address this to ? Is it the BBC for not pushing the programme down or NTL for not grabbing it ?

Ideally it needs to be on this week because I assume there is a Casualty on Sat night so it would be helpful to have it before then! (Mind you Star Wars Episode III is on so she won't be watching BBC1!!! ;) )

i've filled this in as feedback on the NTL site.. at the moment we have no idea what is going to be there and so it can't be relied upon.. until we get a shcedule of what and when programmes will be on here it's only mildley usefull

if they had a schedule people would then be checking it every few days and as they checked that they might also purchase another VOD item.. if they don't make us look at it then it won't help them generate any revenue

Re: [Merged] VOD Pick of Week - Missing Bits
 

This has happened before. I missed the last episode of the last series of Casualty, plus my disgruntlement at the second of the first two parter of Dalziel and Pascoe is well documented.

In Points of View mode 'Why o why o why cannot they be consistent about what is added ?'

I also noted part 2 of the two part Casualty hasn't appeared. Thankfully my Tivo recorded it (sorry, now deleted).

Re: [Merged] VOD Pick of Week - Missing Bits
 

TBH, I agree with Rob. Unless we know what is going to be on VOD and when, it is useless. I would even go further and say that it needs more content. I mean, lets face it, if what you want to see isn't on the BBC or a movie, you have a good chance of it not being on there.

At the very least, we need to see a few more channels supporting it.

Re: [Merged] VOD Pick of Week - Missing Bits
 

By any chance has there been a code freeze, no new eastenders since last friday either... perhaps not updating until the channel re-shuffle settles?
