Just trying to make it succinct. I'll leave you two alone then.

EPG? WTF?

So I have BBC on Channel 1 = Bromley, i have a purple screen = CR3 software with MR1 (ARGGGG!!!!).

So this means that very soon i will be getting MR2 on CR3 (Bromley)? Which turns my purple screen blue (but not langley) and makes it better?

Correct?

Oh yeah, that makes sense... And i need to lie down now.....

I think i'm in the same boat as you Theblueraja, which will be great if it's true - Had a hellish day and the idea of the bugs being fixed will cheer me up considerably!

*Dashes home*

EDIT: theblueraja, EPG Stands for Electronic Programme Guide, Just sos ya know!

Yes.

You might find it easier to look at the screenshots of the different EPG versions below. Bromley CR3+MR2 should look similar, if not identical, to Langley CR3.

Great Link,
Thanks - but - why the heck change the color and then change it back again?

Anyhoo, as long as they fixed a lot of bugs i dont care. Bring it on.

P.s. Any News as to who has this yet, when the South east will be done?

There is no download happening in Bromley areas right now, called MR2 or anything else for that matter. So, I can confirm that this is wrong! Apologies to whoever has been given misinformation.

bigitup_j · 11-05-2004, 17:28

ah well. samB, do you know when Bromley areas will be getting the update? i last heard that it's July.

thanks

paul_hadley · 11-05-2004, 18:15

Thanks, Sam. It's good to have closure. We'll wait a while longer.

Sam B · 11-05-2004, 18:21

Hi

No, there isn't an update coming imminently to Bromley areas.

Sam

andrew_wallasey · 11-05-2004, 18:56

Sam - what are MR2 in the north west?

Tristan · 11-05-2004, 22:23

MR2, or whatever it ends up being called, will not appear until, at the earliest, the end of the Langley rollout.

I suspect that the person on the DS thread had heard that a trial build was being sent out to some Assosiates, and just jumped the gun.

Also, I agree that the current version numbering system is very confusing -- I'm trying to think of a consistant way to represent these things that we can all use... as soon as I do, I'll let you know!

All I want to know is when are they going to fix the sound distortion which we've had to put up with for so long.

Have you reported this to ntl?

No point 'putting up with it', just ring them & give them the chance to put it right.
