BMR When?
 
I got all excited about the new upgrades only to read that a new BMR upgrade is due out separately. Will this cure the blasted sound clipping and is it due out this year? My expensive setup can't take much more!

I don't think theres any dates planned yet. I wouldn't expect it in the next two months. It should indeed include the fix to stop the problem with broadcasts peaking above legal audio level limits incoming to us.

Do you think it'll be this year?

Hell yes, BMR2 is not the massive step that Langley Cr3 has been. Langley had to go from virtually nothing to the same level that 3 or 4 seperate upgrades on Bromley has had.

Langley didn't start off looking at using Liberate for its interactive.

BMR2 (or whatever) does however have to fit in with any core system upgrades and any other work plans.

I'm sure someone will start leaking dates soon.

I'm sure other people are wondering (I hope others are wondering, and I'm not just being a bit thick) but what's BMR when it's at home?

so will BMR/mr2 make everything look like the new LCR3?? If it does, i will be well pleased? And also, will ALL bugs be fixed? Unlike MR1, which did nothing, in fact it caused more bugs! (which was a bit of a joke!!)

:D chears anyway

I think that the next Bromley code release (I don't think it's called MR2 anymore, but I can't remember what it is called) will look pretty much identical to LCR3, but probably with the coloured buttons having different functions on the Now And Mini Guide. Dammit, I'm going to have to get used to Telewest's terminology. Anyway, it looks from the LCR screenshots that the coloured button functions -- reminders, etc -- have been picked to be the same as the old Langley software. I can't see them wanting to confuse Bromley users with this download, so the buttons will probably remain the same for us.

It's such a minor difference anyway, it's probably not even worth mentioning.

Although surely they'd want the buttons the same over both platforms, unless they are scrapping the idea of uniformity!

i just want the sound fixed and i'll be happy. it's the only thing that's fcuked me right off. every other channel has it and it's so annoying. i'd love to smack the idiot who thought that fixing the sound at plus ten or whatever was a good idea. And before someone says it's the channels who broadcast the sound too loud. One thing. IT WAS OK BEFORE MR1!!!

Totally agree about the sound level issue - BBC World Service Radio on Ch868 is awful when listened to on its own channel with clipping and interference, but when the same feed is a "dirty" one - i.e. rebroadcast through another BBC channel such as Radio Wales on Ch870, or Radio 4 on Ch404 it's as clean as a bell - why the difference?

As to getting us on Bromley platform looking the same, well having seen the new Langley screenshots on DS, a) it'll be good to see in action on exCWC, and b) until then, would it be an easy step to simply change the colours used in the existing CR3 to match those of LCR3, in EPG and Email functionality?:D
