Hi

Does anyone else after using interactive for a while pictures start to not load and then get an error message where you have to reset the box by selecting "Fix It".

ALL the time. That plus the unacceptably slow speed of operation, even just for changing channels, makes the system now very disappointing.

Will be ditching ntl after July simply because of this.

I recieved the update in Hemel Hempstead today, I would like to know if they have made any changes to the code becuase the way I understood it is that my Scart A/V control would be turned off after the upgrade, but after the update this morning it was still set to on.

Regards

oooo, where's mine, where's mine? I'm in Hemel, but as of 11pm last night, no CR3 ... haven't had the TV on today to find out if it arrived overnight. Will it be there when I get home tonight?

Did you put your box into standby mode? I think a hard reboot might also do the trick.

Box is normally on standby overnight, but not always. It was definitely on standby last night, so who knows...

I rescued the instruction leaflet from an anonymous pile of junkmail in our kitchen yesterday, after mrs towny denied all knowledge of ever having seen it (this despite us both reading it together when it arrived the other week). Aah, married life

It's only enabled on ch. 120 at the moment. There's no official news about when red button services will be enabled on other channels, but I'd expect ntl: to make some sort of announcement when the upgrade has been completed.

Planned to start sometime next week. Note this doesn't mean everyone will get it next week. But leave your STB on standby each night and you'll get it ASAP.

well, here's my feedback, having arrived home this evening to find a nice blue EPG on my box.

I love it! Nice to have a Sky-like guide with multiple channels side by side. Great to be able to shuffle the channels about (I really liked the option to put all the channels I don't subscribe to to the bottom with a single press of a button). The cuckoo is set up as my reminder sound (I quite liked all three of the options

).

The only slight complaint is that interactive seemed to take as long to load as ever. I was just starting to think about rebooting ... but it worked. Oh, and the loss of the jump to 1st channel button in the mini-guide. I used to use that a lot.

Even so, thanks guys, and well done.

Hi,

I can't believe that everybody has been clamouring to get CR3 for years... What happened to simple stuff, like reminders that did auto-tune the channel, be able to press page up, whilst browsing or to be able to select first channel to jump to bbc1..

mrm1 · 15-05-2004, 09:12

Yes , First Channel is one of my biggest gripes about CR3. (plus the spped, or lack of)

I think you'll find that all reminders are automatically auto-tune now actually.

Is that after the "your program will start in 1 minute" message?

yup

, someone was tryin to be cocky......and failed. Your program will automatically come on, its just telling you how much time you have left to cancel

Yay! LCR3 is now in Andover

First Impressions:

Like the colour scheme
Speed seems reasonable
Being able to use the guide and change the channel in the mini-tv is excellent.
The kids like the cuckoo clock reminder noise
Don't like the fact that the default is for on-demand to not require a pin number. Will have to lock this to make sure that my technologically savvy 7 year old doesn't start ordering films
Really miss the page up/down and jump to first channel on the mini-guide

Dunno if this was just our box or if it is a "feature" but the box locked up completely when we were in favourites at channel 0 and pressed page up a couple of times. We were on a radio station at the time. It kept playing the station, but refused all further commands from the remote and the animated station name froze. The only recourse was to turn the box off and on again.

Apart from that, it definately seems to be worth the wait. Just got to wait for the red button to be woken up from its slumbers now

bigitup_j · 18-05-2004, 10:36

so all areas will be done by the end of next week??
the last ones to go are...
Andover (started today)
Warwick (started today)
Guildford (starts tomorrow)
Oxford and Reading (starts on Thursday)
...but, when is Kirklees?

and, after the rollout is finished...will ex-cwc customers start getting their roll-out (MR2 or whatever it shall be called??)

thanks

sir_drinks_alot · 18-05-2004, 11:50

i hate to me a bug but whan will roll out be in surrey

dragon · 18-05-2004, 12:04

i think im supposed to be getting cr3 this week

im sure me dad said he had recived the leaflet (its basingsoke, hants btw) err interactive is down atm and the box status is 1 locking address (posted a thread about this) is this an anyway due to the download? will it prevent the box being updated at all?

and i already tryed reseting the box to see if that changed the status no luck
