Ps. Sorry mate 

Nahh Chuff its a simple day in life of Jay LOL!

The funny bit waas the install engineer he knew I was pissed just trying to explain where the cables should go via a bad reception phone 300 miles away!
Did you get two tivo boxes or was it one and a V box HD chuff? I swear the contract said two Tivo boxes? At this point I'm struggling whats been done TBH the chief excutives are involved and Richard Branson said he would ring me to invite me to his TAX free island for next Xmas 


I'm on the inlaws tinternet 4mb but hey no vodaphone signal down here since 20th December they get me here aswell those techie gremlins. I topped up £20 on the wifes Pay as you go its a talk mobile sim card and guess what it uses Vodaphone network I was told after I paid customer service the £20 
Its all good down here in west country!
Hope you had a good one aswell mate 


Quick update LOL
Hello I have just recieved a phone call that the install engineers could not place the master junction box where I wished. Reasons apprently they thought my very strong expensive GRP roof was unsafe? Well I have had scoffolding weighing over 100 kg on that flat roof so an explanation as why they have drilled a hole in the middle of the living room where the children sit to watch TV and the telephone will require extention leads to remove that current location of the middle of my living room?

One TiVo and one hd box, that's the tv deal

Thanks for clearing that up guys!
I'm back home and just hooked up the router I'm getting about 36Mps upload 2.5Mps thats not too shabby?
Well I'm still talking to management and they did drill the two holes in the side of the house and not the back easiest job route for them so not sure what to say, but hey I'm back online thanks fo0r hearing my grumbles

about time,   Tv working ok too ?

Hey Chuff happy New year, yeah the old man who was looking after the house for me has been watching TV the only issue is there was no HDMI to DVI cable apprently they didn't have one, but I asked for it via customer services.....
So its not the best picture its on the lowest quality setting, good but not clear.
I'll pop down to the shops tomorrow and buy one and see if I can get 720i off it at least.
The Super V hub was fine after a quick unplug, but can't get the kids wireless to pick up a strong signal from the hub. Our kids gone to bed so I'll have to muck about with it later.
The Phone has picked up the signal so it does work.
I might try 5Ghz and see if its better, otherwise I might need to try a secondary router and bridge the network.
A bit tired after 5 hours of travel

clipperjay,

could you keep us posted on the signal strength issue please. This is the reason I am leaving o2 for virgin. Last few years have been problem free internet and suddenly they say the signal drop out is due to "environmental issues" and cannot be fixed.

Obviously this is an issue as I do not really want to move the location of my desk, so was hoping the virgin router had a slightly better range 

[clipperjay]

Yes mate I'll try and see if the lads wireless is working today!
He only has a 35Mps wireless card from Netgear so I think its the issue here with his the card is old and TBH a new wireless USB dongle would be much better for signal strength. I'll report back soon as I config it.

Quick update:
Got a call from customer services this evening they are upgrading the V box to a Tivo for me and coming back to lay conduit on the cable outside the house as the hedge trimmer will cut the cable to pieces without it.

On another note the Netgear wireless card (35Mps) is still having issues and the Cisco USB Dongle (more up to date just bought one 135Mps) is struggling aswell.
The laptops and phones can get a signal fine through wireless router, but it seems to some sort of interference in the kids bedroom itself that’s cutting the signal strength?
We are moving the computer closer to the door to see if it helps, but I think running a solid Ethernet cable directly from hub to comp might be better?

The HDMI cable to DVI (just bought it) works a treat managed to split the sound from the scart and have now a 720P than scart
