Either someone's pressed the wrong button somewhere or the person who took that picture is a triallist... and shouldn't really be taking pictures of pre-release software!

But since it's out there, what do you think?

Or more likely someone has been playing around with something they shouldn't

They seem to like it anyway. I preferred the blue CR3 Langley (no idea what the current one is) colourscheme but suppose the new one is OK.

Doesn't look like the epg is going to be bright red or pink then woo!

Hey the new firmware looks pretty good...anyone know when it will come out?

Is it me, or does it look a little like the BT Vision software?

Could you show us a pic of the BT Vision software?

From that picture, it looks a lot smarter than what we've got now in our patch - lovely and simple design - with all options on one "home" screen rather than having to use different drop downs or sub menus.

Now all they need is to improve the TV Interactive content a bit!

Isn't there any way that our existing CR3.3.software could have its colours changed to these but retaining the now temporary "ntl" branding?

Would love to.

Can't.

This BT Vision thread at Digital Spy:
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...=481120&page=4

....contained a link which did contain loads of pictures of the EPG and menus, but the pictures are no longer online.

But the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture in this thread was "NTL have ripped off BT Vision!" From what I can remember, the colour scheme on BT Vision's software is identical - which is no bad thing, and a million miles better than the 'Virgin Red' look which I suspected would be thrown at us.

looks quite decent.

No worries mate, I take your word for it

Question is, does it still take half an hour to change the channel like the current slow arsed software?

... That's the question to ask and one I would dearly like to know the answer to as well, assuming that screenshot is genuine.

Having never seen any box take 30 Min's to change channel in all the time i have dealt with STB's i would have to say NO. Now if yours takes 30 Min's to change channel that would have to be a world record, Or would you happen to be a master at exaggeration
