Ho-hum.....I thought it might be down here..........thanks for the info

I can feel it

I can't wait for 50% more juice, also I hope this thread somehow goes to 100 pages for some strange reason.

Doh! why can't they make a 2nd config, gold_temp.cm or something and move everyone on that who has the NEW box onto that and keep everyone else on gold.cm until they get the new box. *sigh*

Psychotext · 03-09-2004, 16:03

Still no changes here. Anyone else barring Kneebs had their connection upgraded in the last few days?

city-boy · 03-09-2004, 16:53

I've had my STB upgraded a few weeks ago, still no 1.5MB on in here in Manchester. Anyone got the 1.5MB on their new Samsung STB yet?

What's happened here?

Are you just after a Samsung for the 1.5mb service, or is it a SACM your after?

Either way I can see what I can do if you like. SACM is definitely no problem at all.

BIGZIPZ · 03-09-2004, 18:37

Could you hook up a SACM for me too pal ?

I have requested one before but I got told by a man that it was for people who have faults only.
