Hi Guys,

I think I am being told porkies by Call Centre in Bangalore. Basically I had a self install of VM TV on Thursday. Everything worked except OD. I used to have Cable before, so it was just a case of screwing in the cable already there into the back of the new STB.

I have had a 1059 error ever since for OD. Spoke to CS a few times, who have sent numerous hits to the box, but it still has not worked. On friday they said an engineer had been booked to swap the box on Monday. But later that afternoon I have a message saying the engineer has been cancelled as the IT Dept will fix my problem in 24hours.

Well it is now Sunday so I just called 151, who just dismissed my problem saying that my whole region has an OD problem which should be fixed in 24/48hours. I suspect this is untrue as I would have been told this in the beginning.

So is there an OD problem in Kent (I’m in the Sittingbourne area)?

What is the point of on demand showing episodes of a program then one week just droping it as seems to have happend with this weeks skins if you cant trust ondemand to show a program every week whats the point of it.

ITV is to make programmes, including Coronation Street and The X Factor, available for catch-up viewing on Virgin Media’s cable platform.

Under the four-year deal, which will see the ITV Player on-demand programme service join the BBC iPlayer on Virgin’s platform, more than 40 hours of programming from ITV1, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 will be available to Virgin Media’s 3.5m TV customers.

The shows will be available for seven days after broadcast as part of Virgin Media’s free catch-up service

There will also be 500 hours of archive shows made available too as well as HD programming from ITV through TV Choice

Since having a V+ installed in Bromley South London I no longer get Ondemand , also the Virgin Central red button does not work. Called customer services and was told problem would be resolved on the 28th Feb !!!

Is anyone else in Bromley experiencing this fault there is also a flashing light on the V+ box.

I have a 2nd Pace box which does ondemand and Virgin Central with no problems.

Thanks

Hi,

Has anyone noticed if the BBC has disappeared from the TV Choice OnDemand

I have the V+ box and since the upgrade on the 8th it’s gone. I’m getting a new box next week anyway as it makes a horrific sound every morning. I rang faults and as always it’s been escalated, it seems weird everything but the BBC is not there.
All other OnDemand stuff is fine though…

Any else noticed that OnDemand seems to be working now?

Only CH4 and E4 programmes seem to be loaded but the OnDemand mechanism is certainly working ok.

Im in Pontypridd, S.Wales on the Langley network.

I found this on ntls website and i watched the video and i think its the only video theyve made thats good im sure there will b ads on tv a bit like the video and im sure that will get ppl ordering digital Well Done ntl for making somert that is not PINK!

can we record movies from ntl ondemand onto video,
families out all day tomorow so i get the tv but i gotta go out too so im thinking of recording a movie and watching it later.
havent ordered before!

Feeling a bit at NTL’s on:demand service. Until the other day, they had LOADS of BBC programmes in their “pick of the week” bit.

It meant I could watch Holby and Casualty at a more convenient time. Fortunately, I watched Holby on it on Weds, as it had gone by Thursday… but Casualty (from Saturday) hasn’t appeared on there yet…

I know it’s a bit sad to watch them but they’re the only 2 programmes I actually watch these days (I have a toddler so Cbeebies is normally on instead )

Anyone know why NTL have stopped saving some of these programmes?

I have been unable to access on demand all day today. I get a message telling me it is ‘temporarily unavailable’. Is anyone else experiencing this? I can’t bear the thought of having to call them again (I have to do this at least once a month).
