Re: NTL seeks STB beta testers

Missing barcodes won't be a problem - we can find the info out by other means if necessary.

By the way, Ashley is on hols for a couple of weeks, so it'll take a while to get a response if you try to sign up now.

Re: NTL seeks STB beta testers

how do i check ALL of my reputation points, as now i can only see the top 10, and am actually finding them interesting, as i got a negative point for saying :

"in two posts you spelt the word THEN wrong"

can i only view the top ten (p.s this is my first off topic comment ever i think so dont be harsh it aint worth starting a thread over)

I have only given the info for one STB and have two in the house.
Can't see how the network can tell you have two boxes in your house, as opposed to you and your neighbour having one box, doesn't the coax just star out from the distribution boxes, there is no router for CATV channels.

They are sending the software out to specific boxes, they just need to know from a db POV which ones they are that is defined by serial number and all these other details.

Re: NTL seeks STB beta testers

For Bromley users you CAN'T have one box in test mode but not the others (at the moment). Langley users probably can.

Re: NTL seeks STB beta testers

Same here, I would like to BETA test one but not both as one controls BB as well.

Re: NTL seeks STB beta testers

Just to revisit this one, did anyone from CF sign up to the beta testing? What's it like?

Does it include the intended 2005 rollout of VoD software etc?

Just being nosey!
