The remotes now included an EEprom so they will never forget a programmed TV code - and I believe that a good thing

Cool, didn't know that. Would that be why they seem ever so slightly heavier then?

Thanks,

Must be honest, I hadn't noticed. Not so keen on the finish now... the shiny covering was much nicer

I use a philips pronto for all my units and it works just fine.

Nice to hear that there's a new updated bromley shark, unfortunately, we're lumbered with the version 1 of Bromley's shark which when the batteries run flat gives us about thirty seconds to change the batteries before we have to reinstall the code for our tv - haven't had to test this out yet though.

On the VOD front I do hope that ntl will issue a info sheet on how to use the service with bills nearer updates to each area. Shouldn't be too difficult, given that using info from here managed to knock up a couple of info sheets for home using Powerpoint in just over an hour...

However, didn't know that a Telewest remote could be used with an ntl: box - though with the merger this year, this probably will become common?

It can only be used on Bromley boxes (apart from the Samsung), and even then, not properly, as the "home" button doesn't work.

After the merger, they'll give out NTL remotes to everyone, as it's approximately 10,000 times better than the crappy Telewest one.
