Re: VM TV Outage

I can confirm they are both showing as they should.
I will keep you posted if I see anything else up here.

Re: VM TV Outage

Ours was off in Glasgow but they were upgrading, Does anyone know if it is worth upgrading to 360 whatever that is ?

In my opinion yes , its fast and slick so channel surfing isn't sluggish , even makes the new V6 look slow , has a voice remote so you can shout "BT sports2" and it will go straight to it . Same channels though , just a faster box.

360 is night and day to the Tivo system, although there are a few features from the Tivo system not present which is covered in other threads on the forum.

It has the HD channel swap if you package has a particular channel in HD it is swapped to the higher number (Except for Channel4 outside London) but a lot cleaner interface and less menus to have to navigate.

My household much prefer 360

At the end of November, C5 started their migration back to RBM, turning the DR logo back on for services from their back up facility. As far as the public is concerned, that's the bulk of services back to where they should be. As I said though, it's a process. Fine tuning of the systems continues and the enormity of the problem means that work schedules for the broadcasters have been torn up and rewritten several times. Hopefully, there won't be any further significant issues. If there are, it's handy to be able to report them in the original thread.

Thanks for that information. Services being restored with 1 month old data was a good indication of being moved over to DR. Yeah, boxes being unable to decrypt was quite a nightmare for a while.
