Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...

Im in Newtownabbey and nothing here on any of our three boxes!!!!

Perhaps 1701-e is receiving such a fast and efficient service because he is the only one that has received it so far!!??

Whereabouts in Belfast are you 1701-e?? And what type of STB do you have?

James

Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...

Everyone should have it.It's on Channel '0',pull out the power lead,wait 10-20 seconds & plug in.The box will re-boot & that should fix it.It came on last night & every call i've made today has it.
If you turn the box off at the wall socket at night,you might have missed the latest software update.

Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...

I have had a play around with the box and happened to find the VOD stuff by going inyo GUIDE and selecting ON DEMAND. I can now watch all the Doctor Who episodes right back into early May!!!

I take everything back guys - this is fantastic!!

By the way, is going to "0" a faster way of accessing the VOD??


The reason I thought I hadn't received the update was because I was expecting one of those "pop-up" messages congratulating me because I can now access Video when I wish!!

Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...

You got the software a few weeks ago.
You can also use Ch 106 or 107!

Yes I missed the 'Blitz' Doctor Who eppys so I'll enjoy those.

Query: programmes are indicated as "w/s" but they are full-screen.
Not a great bother but anyone else get widescreen?

Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...

If we got the software update a few weeks ago, does this mean that we had VOD since then??

No. The way it works is that the software is sent out first, then the VOD servers are turned on a couple of weeks later.

Is there any sign of going digital in the Northwest area?
