Thanks DarthYoda.

If they do this I think it will be better as I said when they try hitting both at once it causes nightmare problems. Such as I often get blackouts (channels not appearing) and box freezing which can take upto 3 to 4 times of switching off/on the boxes.

I would put money on them being different STB models. There are four or five different revisions of the 4001 -- only two of them were done on Tuesday. Even if the STBs look the same, and are both 4001s, they could be different revisions.

Nigel S used to be the guy to ask about all this on .com, but it looks like he never made his way over here

By way of an update on dates for releases. For Grimsby, the new software will begin to roll out from next Tuesday, 16th March. As you have seen, the mailings have been sent to those affected, and have started arriving today. The rollout will be over a few days, again by box type. The best way to ensure that you get the update as soon as it is available to you is to leave your box on standby at night.

Cheers
Sam

Hi all

Could somebody who already has LCR3 confirm what the version number of the software is and if you can still get this information by pressing the help button.
Could somebody also post actual screenshots of the software being used not the ones from the booklet and maybe also post some screenshots of LCR3 channel ntl:.

Thanks

Definately attached to the TV output.

As I said, I ended up sitting on the phone to a friend, who guided me through the menus (press left, press left, press left, press left, press select, etc...). Turns out it was turned off in the settings menu.

Strange, seeing as it was definately turned on before the update.

[spursmat]

lo guys.

well ive got it now as expected in the trail on colchester. takes about 5 mins like the booklet says to download the new update, one thing I noticed is the Scart AV Control is switched off by default, so I sat there for an extra 10 mins waiting for it to switch on when in fact it was just I wasnt viewing it LOL.

The new layout is definately a lot better in my opinionin, and does remind me of Sky a lot, the new colour is a slot nicer, and the system for the mni guide is far mroe convenient.

Someone else suggested it still seems a bit slow and I would agree that when flicking through the channels it does take a while.

Un-subscribed channels are no longer skipped, so sometimes I keep thinking iv got loads of new channels but will get used to it. The favourites button on the remote now works an is yet another quick way to find what you want, although im content with just pressing channel up+down.

No red buttons have appeared as of yet, and the interactive is also "unavailible" according to to the error message. Btw instead ofg etting a huge ntl logo and a please wait sign, you now just get a little box that says please wait in the corner of your screen, which is good as you dont miss 5 mins of TV whilst you wait for the damn thing to load up lol.

The front row on channel 0 is also great as I no longer spend my time flicking through 30 odd pointless channels. There is also an option to have a buzzer sound when your reminder is up.

All in all the new system gets the thumbs up from me and is a great step towards tyhe ultimate Digital Service ahead of sky, shame NTL's service sucks tho (just had my Telephone cut off for not paying for a FREE tv service LOL...)

Any questions give us a shout.

Hi All,
avoiding the new toy excitement.I'm in Ipswich,(Colchester Area) it had downloaded overnight with no problems.All I had to do was switch the A/v switching back on.
1. It looks good.
2. It looks professional.
3. The most important thing, it works.
George.

Reading all the feedback with great interest - keep it coming. I was pretty impressed when I first tried LCR3 in the middle of last year so I'm glad it's getting good feedback from the people who matter.

[Stuartbe]

Keep up the good work BBKing
