Hi there Guys,

I have been on digital NTL since it was first launched in the Glasgow area. At the time a big deal was made of the fact that as it was cable, it would be "FASTER", "BETTER", and there would be great "Interactivity". We would be able to take part in TV Polls, LIVE. There would be a world of information at our fingertips. In those early days, the EPG had 1 weeks info available. And they made a big deal about it being better than SKY. Now look at it!!!!! I have given up waiting for the full interactivity. From memory the last update to the EPG is over a year ago (writing this from work!!).

As for the above idea, yes, anything would be better than it is. WHY does it have to load in the complete listing at the same time. Surely you can just load down the listing for the channel you want. I really don't care why it don't work, that it is the fault of x, y or z. It is the fault of NTL, it is their network, it is their cables (I think!!) it is their settop boxes and it is their engineers and software specialists who are given the job of providing the service that we pay for. I do not care that they have no money, I do not care that they narrowly avoided going bust. If they did/do go bust , someone will prob take them over at a fraction of the cost. (well maybe not!!!). I pay about £70 a month before I make a phone call. For that I get a phone service, that is ok, A TV service, that is ok, A cable service, that is ok , but getting worse. and an interactive service that is non existant. ok they provide that free, but it was a big selling point way back then. So it was sold under false pretences!!!


Phewww!!! rant over!!!!

Sorry guys, just had to get that outa my system


Take care ,a nd I do appreciate all you do!!!
