Aparently the BBCi Bridge is now on in all CR3 areas, if anybody wants to check...

magpie · 20-05-2004, 23:22

Yep - on channels 101 and 102. It's the same as the one on Bromley last year (that is, NOT transparant).

Tristan · 20-05-2004, 23:25

Well that answered my next question!

Tristan · 20-05-2004, 23:32

It will work, regardless of the return path status. Well, theoretically, at least...

was that directed at me?

had wandered if return path was down but wouldnt that stop the SACM working also?

Probably not. They are completely separate systems using different technologies.

<snip>

Possibly, but as they are on two parts of the network, their may be adequate signal getting to the SACM, but not the STB. Was certainly the case in my house. SACM and 1 STB worked, the second did not due to the 25m cable run from the grey termination box outside the house to the opposite back corner.

ok thanks Although the night we got the CR3 update the internet wasn't working in the morning me dad had to reboot the SACM to get it to work.

dunno if its releated. either way better try and get back on topic, if we need to talk about it anymore. Can we please use the no interactive thread i made rather than taking the CR3 thread off topic.

Thanks for your help though

the bridge is on BBC one, HOwever if you turn to channel 926 (BBC ONE ENGLAND) and hit red, you can choose, RHS Chelsea, and this brings you to a test stream!!!.....this shows we can have E-TV even if other areas are not updates, Big brother anyone?

The one thing i dont like about CR3 is not being able to page up/down in the miniguide

PLEASE NTL add page up/down feature for miniguide,

in the next update to the stb software maybe a small update to add it sooner rather than add it in the next big update (can they do that?

) i dont see why its gone it was very usefull used it all the time in CR2 (or whatever they called it)

I second and third this request, alongside being able to jump to the first channel and browse past the on demand movies in the mini guide.

^ What he says

Its so annoying when you have to wade through hundreds of channels just to find whats on one particular channel.

I was troubled by this new guide that I found this morning. I quickly realised that by being able to reprogram all the channels orders that you can have the sky listing with sky type controls - flip l/r, u/d.

I would give a thumbs up but it's pretty patchy - guide disappearing, freezing screen image, intermitent channel changing, etc.

It is an awful lot slower though as reported by many. I have been suspicious that the resolution has been dropped on the digital service as well, I know that this would save bandwidth for NTL but the image quality is pretty poor. I just wondered if anyone could confirm/deny this.
