Is that a USB port on the back?

handyman · 18-09-2003, 10:43

It is and a rj45 ethernet, The one to the right of the usb is labelled up as a port for diagnostics and the one to the right of the nic port is a power supply for extra devices.

Can it be controlled externally? I.e. could it be hooked up to a PC and have the PC change channels?

I'm told that they make quite good concrete pumps, though. I just hope the STB was designed by the concrete pump department, not the mobile phone with wobbly hinge and crashing software department.

Is Bromley a pilot then? Have you got one then or where did you see this?

Anybody know if they are rolling then out natioanlly?

I had it in my hands matey, Its bromley only due to the specs of the box, I would assume its to help with the issues surrounding cr3 and their box's. we have are testing cr3 on our langley box's and the feedback is promising, just a few minor issues to be ironed out before release.

Are these going to be just for new customers and broken stbs replacements only?

EDIT: I'm I on Bromley or Langley?

handyman · 18-09-2003, 12:33

I have no idea I guess they will do the same thing as they did with the cable modems, Phase them into new installations. Then replace busted pace box's gradually over the next few years. Although they may just use them for problem customers.

2 years ago, where I work, we got over 90 Samsung LCD monitors, and not one has failed. That is more than I can say for the 60 LG LCD Monitors we got at the same time. Two of them have had to be replaced.

Samsung are alright. I have a Samsung LCD at home and it is brilliant.

I want a Samsung box. The Pace one I have at the moment crashes everytime I try and access work's Virtual Private Network.
