Ah . . . . .

But the real question is : How Do You Get the Red Button the *Stay ON* All The Time On All Channels

. . . . . . . . . . . . . So you can access the Enhanced Content which is Out There - it's just I can't seem to get it . . . . . . .

would this suggest that my poor old 1000 is due for a change, it almost always chokes on interactive,

How did you manage to get a 2000STB pace box, did you just request a change from you 1000?? Doesn't matter what channel my box is tuned too, whenever I press the RED button I still get the message titled in this thread. I'm not sure about a upgrade to another STB though, because I've heard the later models are less reliable for delivering Broadband, and as I've had no problems with Broadband from my 1000STB I think I'll put up with the lack of interactive service I get when I press the RED button. Besides it's so slooooooooowwwwww anyway.

My original installation about 3 years ago was with the 1000 STB, I had an additional box installed in my daughters bedroom which is a 2000STB, I later subscribed to 600KBB which runs via the 2000 box, the BB has been almost trouble free. Ever since CR3 upgrade, over 12 months ago I have always been able access BBCi and any other interactive content, the only problem is that it sometimes freezes the box, the 1000 is more likely to do this than the 2000, it has shown "tuning paremeters corrupt" in the event log for almost 18 months now.

Okay cheers m8, I might ask for an upgrade to the 2000STB Pace box then, as you've said you're getting 600k broadband virtually fault free, so aslong as that's okay

If there is a fault on your box you will usually get what is on the van unless you need, or use the RF pass through and the other extras the 1000/2000 boxes have, then you could request that your status quo be maintained.
Strange why you cannot access any interactive at all.?

The 1000 and 2000 don't have any more or any less of an RF passthrough than the 4000 or the Samsung. They all take an external aerial input, add the current picture and sound, and the output it again. This is, as far as I know, exactly what the 4010 does too.

The first three (I think) revisions of the 4001 added the terrestrial channels taken directly off the cable, but this is not relevant to Pea-Pod.

iadom · 03-06-2004, 22:41

You know best,

are there some features that the 1000/2000 boxes had that are not on the later boxes.?

Tristan · 03-06-2004, 22:52

Some say they're more reliable for STB broadband, but that's about it.

I've got a 2000 that's been really reliable, but I'd happily swap it for one of those nice new Samsungs if any NTL installers are reading this...
