Bromley upgrade starting.... - Page 11

chandleo · 12-10-2005, 09:17

Been updated here this morning in East Manchester, first impressions very good (took a few seconds instead of a few minutes to get into the EPG so may actually be usable now!) Don't quite get the point of having mini-guide written in big letters at the side of the uh mini guide, seems more than obvious what it is!

Thanks for the update

Is that Surrey - as in Aldershot, Hampshire Surrey - Weybridge, Walton, Addlestone, or even Surrey - Guildford

ntl seem to have some odd geography

If Addlestone, it would explain why my EPG was even more useless than normal last night. At least ntl have now sent me "the essential handbook for your new improved Digital TV service", so it must at long last be "coming soon"

It's not Guildford - that's Langley - it's Franchise 465, which is officially "North & North-East Surrey" and includes Hersham, Addlestone, Leatherhead and Reigate hubs. If you reboot your box, you should get BU2.

Ive been updated here in Surrey - Epsom area. All seems to working fine.

we have just today got the info channel showing the new software in brighton

Okay, well it seems to have killed my box for now. It's been down a good couple of hours I think, NTL logo, one green light. Is it supposed to take this long? Tried rebooting, but it's dead. :|

quadplay · 12-10-2005, 12:13

I'm afraid that sounds like a very dead box. Give the Fault Management Centre a ring on 0800 052 2000 (Option 3) to get a replacement!

Please tell me Walthamstow ( Waltham Forest ex CWC ) is going to be upgraded soon ...

we have been neglected long enough ...

Tubusy · 12-10-2005, 12:25

Yep, looks like it completely fried my system... guy coming tomorrow morning hopefully. :| Wonder how many other boxes it'll kill?

ducardra,s · 12-10-2005, 12:39

hope that it doesnt fry my box too-my husband would not be a happy bunny neither will i!!

With any update, there's a risk of boxes not taking the download or being killed by it. Unfortunately, it's just something we have to manage as best we can.

Isn't there a way to completely wipe or reset the memory somehow? It doesn't actually melt hardware does it?

quadplay · 12-10-2005, 13:59

There is, but it requires taking the box apart. It isn't a case of hardware melting as such - certainly not literally - but any number of things can cause a box to stop responding.

Still, at least you'll have a shiny new one tomorrow...

Tubusy · 12-10-2005, 15:02

Right.

Well, I have a 1000 box, so I will look on the bright side and hope to get one a bit speedier?

Sky blew me away when I saw it again recently. I kept thinking, I have a hard cable into my house, how can it work 20 times faster? :p
