I never got them in Brighton!! It's not fair

Not that I wanted to watch any of them anyway, I think it's just down to greed. I want something that someone else has got even though I don't really want it!!

suprised you didnt get them but then again us in seven dials are always ahead of the game in brighton

i have the new software envy for all lthe same reasons

I'm only about a mile away, just off the Old Shoreham Road on the Hove side.

Must admit I am more interested in the new software, but even more interested in PVR. I currently use a HD/DVD recorder, but with only one tuner it doesn't serve the purpose I want. And with my Samsung box changing to chanel 7 whenever it feels like it, anything I record ends up being previews of Front Row anyway. That means I actually have to be there to record something, in which case I may as well just watch it!!!

All gone here too, and I had my box change to Channel 7 overnight

NTL is pretty crap recently

yeah mine has done that every day for the past few weeks (box is on standby overnight) and also we keep getting the channel change issue where for example you change from 1 to 2 and it jumps to 3. this morning the box had changed to BBC one overnight (it was on the horror channel)yet the EPG insisted it was on BBC2 and when i pressed up it jumped to ITV which was dull.

Do you have a problem of your pictures losing colour,ie flicking from black and white to colour everytime you change channels ? I do and after 2 stb,s and countless engineers it still does the same i have been told that the software update will clear the problem-but i have to put up with this for another 3 months at the earliest before that happens-it is very,very annoying and irritating i just wonder if anybody else has this problem ?

No I don't get that, but I do get large periods of time when the remote doesn't work (batteries are fine) - mostly when coming out of standby or when its been on a channel for a long time, no idea when the new software is coming here

Hi Guys

Sorry for those that were disappointed, but we were only testing the channels for a while, they weren't actually launched.

I'm hoping that you should have some official news posted today or early next week about launch dates for those 11 launches, and More 4. I'll make sure as soon as there is any news it's posted on the front page.

Cheers
Sam

Sam B · 07-10-2005, 21:02

Not to mention several thousand shouty phone calls to customer services from annoyed/disappointed customers too

This launch farce has gone on long enough.
