Wimbledon Enhanced

Daniel H · 21-06-2003, 18:06

So with Wimbledon starting this Monday, who thinks that us Ex-C&W customers will get this enhanced content? You know what its like with NTL, we'll end up getting it half way through the tournament.

Well, we are ex-CWC & ex-Videotron so no way will we be able to enjoy enhanced services, pity.

I'm unusually optimistic with this. I think it'll happen, and it'll work well....

...which means I'm going to have a lot of egg on my face when half the country's STBs crash on Monday afternoon...

Exactly, all of us ex-CWC / Videotron customers are really looking forward to hearing how wonderful (

) the interactive Wimbledon will be!
Let's get it straight from the beginning of this site's life:
NOT ALL EX-CWC HAVE CR3 / INTERACTIVE OR BB !

Don't forget those of us on the Langley Platform who won't get it as well!

I've just been watching BBCi on Wimbledon. It looks really great. NTL have done good. Let's hope there will be more of this interactive on other channels.

Well my goodness, I just tried it and it works and it looks great. Very impressed.

We will get it sometime in the next century.

You gotta love the optimism in the air.

To be honest, I've given up all hope of ever having enhanced interactive services, what with the delays in testing 'CR3' for original areas. I'd heard that the testing had been put back to later on this year, with no doubt it being postponed again

I think I'd prefer to have the channels re-numbered

Well, Sky News and Sky Sports Interactive would depend on Sky spending money on providing it. Sky spending money on providing a service for NTL customers. Does anybody else see that as fairly unlikely?

After a restart of the STB everything was tickety-boo and I did notice the "Press Red" is a not as bold [obtrusive] as the Digital Satellite version - however it can be removed from screen by pressing the Back key.........
