I push on demand on my remote and all I get is the same stuff ive had since the start of time.

Movies about to start, adult and sports events.

Can some post a screeny just so us poor users that dont have VOD can drool?

What Ive noticed recently with respect to the so called "On Demand" service is that there are awful sound "drop-outs" - now, Ive noticed this on my own STB but downstairs there are no probs - (this is a newer box)

Also, with regard to programmes that should be put on this service - what about Robin Hood being added to the Series Choice???? I went to watch the first episode this morning, only to realise that is had been overwritten with the most recent episode!!!! Grrrr Whats the point in watching it now then??

We have two STBs upstairs - both experiencing some problems (even the main one downstairs reboots itself every few days). Perhaps its time to vote with our feet once again??

thanks homealone.

regarding the Robin Hood first episode ,or any of them come to that , you might wonder if they dont have the money to buy more raid harddrive space to store these programs so need to keep deleteing stuff.......

Sounds great if it does what it says on the packet, I admire the loyalty of some, is that defo january as in 2007?

And will the whole country be able to get it from launch?
What NTL are able to show in HD will be dictated by how much content sky want to share with NTL, off topic I know, but for me there's only one television provider

well not really, NTL:tw could always upscale the SD content to HD format at the HeadEnd and call that HD, im sure some executive NTL:tw board member and the sales departments/accountants have already thought about that one, weather you users will allow them to sell you that is another question.

if noone buys into it (and tells them why), then perhaps the users might get better usable tech in its place and eventually everyone wins perhaps?.

I no doubt guess NTL have thought about it

but surely if youre going to pay for something you want the real deal? I know I do

You know the old adage " crap in crap out " ?
A little like emptying the aldi beans into the heinz 57 tin? you just cant force the kids to eat them these days

Yep, as in Jan 2007. Don't quite know too much about the HD side of it as its not of a great concern to me at the moment. Give the current TV a few more years yet before it conks out, then I'll worry about HD.
