To everyone else.

I just called NTL and they are sending an engineer out in the morning to look at my box

I'll let you know how I get on.

I love my ignore button.

Hope you get the problem sorted, dilli, thats a pretty good result to get an engineer out so quickly

Well I'm glad we agree on that.

Hmm, since most people have disagreed with you, how exactly are you defining "won".

Yeah right, you can smell the fear from here ... not

Perhaps you would be better off moving to those "other" forums then.

BTW - I have three pace boxes which are working perfectly (and have for the last four years I have had them).

I think you will find that is not your decision.

1. I feel I deserve better from the Team! The fact that most of the posters disagree with me is irrelevant.

Factually no-one can categorically state that the Pace is equal to or better than the Samsung nor has any one said so. The Samsung is a better box end of story.

If the Samsung is a better box, so far undisputed, then anyone who wants one should be supplied by NTL without quibble.

That is the argument, finished, in a nutshell.

2. Why then has our young friend been "neg bombed" and posts crowing over the red reps deleted by the TEAM.

3. I belong to many forums and will post where and when I choose.

4. Aren't you lucky. That is not the typical experience of most NTL customers and I doubt that yours have worked perfectly for four years. I do not question your veracity but your perception.

5. Locking a thread is up to the Team but when you have to delete posts from members off topic and unable to argue against incontrovertible fact the thread is dead in any case.

Digitalvictor, people like you and Robert Atkins are so single minded and self centred if everyone had your attitude ntl would either go bankrupt or just hike our monthly bills up to get the money back, you pay for a service not a stb, you get the same service if your box is black, silver or pink with yellow dots on, if you do not like the service due to faults go to another provider. Why should you think you have the god given right to have every thing new?


I have now read several times people having pace stb's (I have 2) and are happy with them so you 2 are in the minority on this thread so will you please leave us alone you spoilt little brats......

I have two pace STB's there has been issues with them but we do not live in a perfect world do we? Where everything works 100% of the time. You keep going on with your opinions - which you keep casting off as a facts which you are simply asking for trouble if you think you can just make sweeping statements without justification.

The Samsung STB's might be better but my pace boxes do their job. Having an arguement over which is better reminds me of being back in the school playground.

Good post.

digitalvictor, the samsung box's use mostly the same hardware as the pace box's (in fact pace supply most of the chips sets for all types of digi stb's).

The reason ntl went for a samsung one was to have 2 suppliers and to put pressure on pace to correct software flaws. Since the flaws are software based these are updated to the stb's in code releases done several times a year. the samsung stb's will also have code issues but these will present themselves in different ways.

Bleat on all you like but your just 1 customer, I worked in ntls tech support for dtv and dealt with 1000's of customers some with genuine complaints some that where numpties and could not set their own tv's up dont think your a special case because you want a silver box.

Also on this forum you'll find the ntl guy that deals with the code updates (lo P), the guy that works with pace and samsung to make sure their kit works on the network ( hi N)and many ntl network people. Feel free to diss them all you like but 99% of the people here will always disagree with you ;-)

You think thats personal abuse do you?

Admin edit (Paul): Please don't post lines like that

Ok time to close this one me thinks.

And perhaps reading this Important information, maybe a necessity to some, no names being mentioned of course.

Indeed, and just a gentle reminder - starting another topic to continue a previously closed thread is not permitted.
