Belfast & Glasgow TV Outage - Page 5

From my knowledge of this happening in the past it is usually another company has had fun cutting through the cable. So, not really even ntl's fault? *dons flameproof suit*

Cheers for the updates guys, I`m updating all my pals on the phone who`ve been left mystified today.

Dont get me wrong. I was asking a simple question, perhaps even making an even simpler observation based on what Markypussbag said.

I wouldnt wish for anyone to be sacked - there are enough lay-offs in NTL at the moment without any more!!

And Id tend to agree with the JCB theory too - although I think it was mentioned that the cable had been cut in two places - between Edinburgh & Glasgow, and Lytham & Dublin. An act of digital terrorism.

Mr Murdoch, can you account for your whereabouts around the hours of ....... and ........ ????
I ONLY JEST OF COURSE!!

I agree wholly with the point raised by Nolly below!!!

Surely this highlights the case for a phone & tv service status page similar to the one for internet access at:

Just rebooted the TV drive and now getting sky one. No programme listings available as yet but it looks like they're on the road to recovery.

joeh771@ntlworld · 24-01-2007, 22:18

boxmines isnt but when i pulled the wire out the back and put it in again, a message came up saying that the cable is unplugged, check and restart

Rorschach · 24-01-2007, 22:27

My TV Drive has just rebooted but the channels are still not available (except, bizarrely, Sky One)....and...I can't watch any of the pre-recorded stuff

I'm off to bed. This had better be sorted in the morning, or there'll be hell to pay!
