Re: Set Top Box
So that would be VoD then?

Umm, Ok.

Well, to CF.

If you want to know what STB my cable TV comes through then it's manufactured by Samsung.

Re: Set Top Box

If you mean video on demand, then it's not live here yet.

It will be used through regular NTL STBs, which are manufactured by Pace and Samsung.

I've no more idea than anybody else. NTL say it will start rolling out in Q1 next year. We shall see.

Why do you think I'd know? I don't work for 'em!

Ah, well, you see, I didn't know that they planned to roll it out next year.

Apologies if I got the wrong Tristan.

As far as I know there's only one of me :S

Personally I think it will have to wait until the next round of software upgrades in Bromley areas, but I might be wrong

As far as I know, the only ones used by UK cablecos (NTL and Telewest) are manufactured by Pace or Samsung.

Re: Set Top Box
However. looking at a picture of the new PVR STB planned for release by Telewest next year, it seems to be manufatured by Scientific Atlanta (as far as I can make out from the picture).
