sounds like a problem with the box mate. the only thing i have ever had with the sound was it glitch but that was due to low levels.

No, it's not a problem with the box.
It's a common problem in MR1. The reminder sounds couldn't be heard in the original CR3 rollout, so for MR1, they boosted the box volume up to +10 which worked for the reminders, but has also caused no end of problems with distorted and clipping TV sound.

No point 'putting up with it', just ring them & give them the chance to put it right.

Since it is a known problem (see above) I didn't waste the time. There was a very long thread on the old forum and it was clear that NTL knew about it but chose to do nothing.

So? Report the problem, doesn't matter how many times it is reported.

Our box has recieved the new software, it seems arkward to use, on the old software (purple), i could hit browse, scroll down and hit green for more info, there seems to be no way to do this on the new software (blue). I cant belive that they would make it so that it is impossible to get info for future programs, so I am guessing I just can't find the way to do it, anyone able to help?

bbc1 is on 101

pleased to help

He said that BBC1 was on 101 for him, so he's obviously in a Langley area and has just recieved LCR3.
MR2 is not being rolled out just yet.

I am just outside of Lincoln(east midlands sort of area), never heard of langley (I am guessing it must be around here somewhere then! - never been great at geography!), but from the screen shots of the langley boxes ours is identical, both the pre and post roll out pics

Anyway thanks for the info

Well if your on the Langley platform BBC1 is on 101 and if you are on the bromley platform BBC1 is on 1

bigitup_j · 16-05-2004, 19:36

Langley - the actual place is just west of London (in a telewest area!

)

and Bromley is 2 miles away

from my house in south london - i think just of the A21 is the actual building!

If i could punch everyone who doesn't understand or recognise that MR1 f****d up the sound so if you listen to your cable on a half decent surround system it provides the best snap crackle and pop since you had breakfast then i'd be happier.

hurry up with the release you mofo's.

who's gonna pay for my surround if YOUR box has wrecked my speakers?
