I'm happy with my 4010, as long as it gives me a picture on the screen and doesn't melt the smart card I'm a happy chappy. ;P
So next year for CR3, do you think we may finaly get ETV for BB 5??
Edit - Thanks Handy, thats the first straight answer I've got out of Ntl on this issue, its a shame your going, their loss.

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.

None that I know of as yet but its still in the early stages of testing, bb is supposed to be better and I assume thats the main reason behind the development of it.
[edit] plus everyone is screaming out for a silver stb!!

The Samsung STBs will be used for both Installs and replacements however each BU will have a set amount of these STB's. And it will be at the descretion of the BU where to place these. There are already problems with the Samsung STB software (CR3) but these are very early looks at the Samsung STB's. I don't see these boxes getting deployed until 2005. CR3 for Langley is in Associate trial testing soon and is due for completion in November. So if all goes well it could be out before Christmas however it may be Q1 2004 as handyman has said, as the Christmas Platform freeze may restrict the rollout. handyman, I will try and get some photos of the box with my digi camera that i took the remote with.

that was my plan too jackel but it does not look like i'll be in today if the wasp bloke does not turn up soon, btw is ur cam a jenoptik 2.1 mega jobby? the one from computer world?
Though a bit low on resolution the pictures from the phone give a good impression of the look of the box
Plus I see the samsung being released sometime Q2 2004. After all its not even marked as a test stb. Just my guess but as soon as the software is fixed I think it will be deployed.
[edit] is it not associate trialling now?

no my camera is a Fuji Film FinexPix F402 - 4MB - remote pic was 2MB. The Samsung STB's can't even do broadcast pix yet so I think Q2 2004 is a bit premature but could be wrong. Associate trial hasn't started yet as far as I am aware as I know a few people who are in the Associate trial

I would have hoped that the Samsungs would have been faster? It's painfully slow compared to Sky....

If you're Ex-CWC, you're Bromley. Ex-anything else, Langley.
I'm sticking with my charcoal grey STB, matches everything else I've got, because my stuff is old and predates stuff being grey.
