I wasn't to sure i said said "in the next few days", which to me is a lot sooner than 14 February. Or will Cambridge be getting it prior to that?

If he was indeed talking about the new software, I sure hope we don't have to wait til 14 February for it, otherwise (if what the Techie said was correct) we might not have a properly working guide until then.
They have started the roll out in Coventry and (if I remember correctly) Cambridge has never been too far behind Coventry with past updates.

I believe the intention is to get the software onto as many STBs as possible before V-Day (14th February) although they have said that they may not complete all areas until June.

It too a bot of getting used to not being able to look up schedules days in advance after switching from Freeview to NTL.
Unfortunately, the limit is with the amount of memory in the STB. The STB design is over 7 years old and it cannot handle that much data. Conversely, the new V+ boxes have an 8-day EPG. (I wonder if the new V-box will have the 8-day EPG).
