Is the remote IR the same IrDA as the 1000 &2000 boxes or is it the more standard one (I have TiVo which requires a dongle to translate ordinary IR signals to the IrDA format for my 1000 box)

You know... not long ago I said that the samsung boxes were being prepared to roll out... everyone laughed....

Now the pics are here, they have been confirmed as being prepped for roll out. I said Q1 2004, this has also been confirmed as a possible roll out date....

handyman · 18-09-2003, 18:40

my guess is q2 nik, cr3 should be by q1,.

so close

2 years ago, where I work, we got over 90 Samsung LCD monitors, and not one has failed. That is more than I can say for the 60 LG LCD Monitors we got at the same time. Two of them have had to be replaced.

Samsung are alright. I have a Samsung LCD at home and it is brilliant.

I want a Samsung box. The Pace one I have at the moment crashes everytime I try and access work's Virtual Private Network.

samsung have now replaced our tv once and my monitor 6 times, yes 6 TIMES and both are still faulty. I have 2 dead samsung cd drives, 1 faulty stick of samsung memory, 1 non functional samsung phone and a broken samsung vcr.

samsung suck

The Samsung box will use the same remote as Langley boxes, that is, a blue 'new' remote.

If so then you won't be getting one at all, they only work on bromley.l

What about if you put them on a SACM only UBR? What do you call them then?

Bromley/Langley is a bloody stupid way of differentiating between platforms, for DTV call 'em DAVIC and DOCSIS. It's entirely possible that DOCSIS STBs will appear in currently DAVIC-only areas at an indeterminate date, it's not rocket science.

They do do broadcast, I've watched the cricket on one. Broadband had a few issues, and I haven't got one atm to test it now they've been fixed (although I will if someone turns their back in the office briefly). There are a lot of Korean gentlemen around the place getting busy on it, so it's definitely happening.

Lord Nikon · 18-09-2003, 21:21

That would also be why the preliminary comments I had were that they would most probably be accompanied by a SACM for BB

So close? If I recall correctly, it was due out q1 2003! It's going to be a YEAR late, and there are STILL some "minor issues" to iron out ??

Is this a fair depiction of the programmers

?

Lord Nikon · 18-09-2003, 21:52

I think the so close was to my comment of Q1 2004

nopes, as posted by nigel s, its almost identical inside hardware wise to the pace ones, I guess the differences are mainly cosmetic and component quality wise.

Great, so still stuck with a slow CPU and 4MB of RAM then.

Progress, NTL style - make it "look" better on the outside but still exactly the same crap underneath.
