Eurovision Interactive: Working on VM?

[Stop It]

Hello all,

Just watching Eurovision (Shh back there ), and I want to use the Eurovision Interactive so I at least know what the hell some of these guys are singing, but the red button entry to the BBCi Interactive service just kicks me back to BBC1 and mutes my box (Its a Samsung), is it working for anyone out there and it's just my box or is it just not working?

Thanks in advance,

Lee

Watch it, its a great laugh :-)

Hmm, any ideas why mine wont kick into action? I can get into the BBCi menu, but then when I select Eurovision interactive, it comes up with a blue screen with the BBCi Logo, but then comes back to BBC1, muted, with the press red icon in the top right, but no subtitles

Any ideas? apart from not watching Eurovision :p

No, sorry, still same problem, grr, I want to know what these guys are on about, slightly annoying that my interactive services don't want to load, between this and my initial issues with my broadband connection, its not the best first week for VM for me

you should have said its a new install,it sounds like the mac address of your stt hasnt been loaded on to ( IAMS) this is the interactive server,just to confirm try the interactive button and see how far you get b4 you get an err msg,i mean VM's interactive option,not the red button,good luck

Any specifics? Just went to the games section of the VM interactive service (Jetix to be exact) and it works, so it seems like all is well, how can I find out for sure?

Edit: It appears it is just Eurovision interactive that is failing, Dr Who interactive works.

try interactive-'sport & betting' then 'bbc sport' then delve into any sub heading and see how far you get

Yeah, that works, I can, and have used the interactive services to get my news etc, and as my edit above says, other interactive services load, just not the one I er, want, boo.

You could put the normal subtitles on. Press TV, then blue.

spose i could keep posting them to you,to be honest i dont think i could type that fast though which makes me wonder..how do the people who type the subtitles keep up,especially as they are translating them at the same time

Lucky ducks are those who can use the red button...Lucky ducks are those who can actually get the channels to change in under a minute.

I can't wait for the software update..apparently it's either the bees knees or a total crock.

I like everything else about VM(and what was NTL) but the tv software is enough to make anyone weep.
