Samsung STB Getting One?

Nero182 · 17-03-2005, 21:33

I use a Cable Modem for my Internet.

But for my NTL TV is there anyway I can still get a Samsung STB. They Look Really Nice and the Box at the min I think it s**t ( I dunno not what box I am on ).

Also I am located in Belfast,NI if that is any help.

to the site.

In what way is your current STB rubbish is there something technically wrong with it? It should say on the underneath part of the STB what model it is.

ntl won't give you a shiny new Samsung just because it looks nicer than the Pace boxes.

If the box has a definite fault with it, then ntl will replace it - however, there would be no guarantee that you'd get a Samsung in exchange - you could easily end up with another Pace box. And if it turned out that there was no valid reason to swap boxes, ntl may then charge you...

No when I do things like Gudie Red Button most of the time it locks up and I have to restart the box.

samsungs are in short supply. and the rule is they swap a pace for a pace and samsung for samsung. If you don't like it, well..... lol.

Yup, but to be honest so does mine. I have been told by engineers that came out to look at my box 'don't press the red button - we don't support it'. I make no comment on that.

But all I can say is I doubt you'll get a samsung box becuase of red button problems or guide problems. Still you never know.

As far as I am aware, Belfast doesn't have any Samsungs. There are only selected franchises on Langley that do

I guess the shiny silver object Ntl installed on Wednesday is a figment of my imagination then. Ex C&W Bromley platform.

Bob · 18-03-2005, 16:42

Sorry - I knew they were all over Bromley, I was just referring to the Langley platform. Should have made that more clear...sorry

Nero182 · 18-03-2005, 18:17

Actually, Belfast was about the first Langley area to get Samsungs - they started off on Bromley, where they're pretty much everywhere except ex-Videotron London (there are a few there, but Pace still rules). The only Langley areas without Samsungs are the VOD areas, Glasgow, Swansea and Cardiff, as this reduced the requirement for VOD-capable boxes from three to two and gave us a few months breathing space to get Samsung VOD working.

Everywhere else on Langley has lots now.

I am sure everyone who needs it, will recieve them...

I have one too. I'm less than happy with it because its very buggy. But I'm sure they will be sorted in due course
