    Talking NTL VOD Rollout

    Anyone on the forums got the new Video on Demand software yet up and running? The new Filmflex and services offered look really amazing, I'm just hoping ntl get the service up and running without too many hiccups!
    I'm in Hemel Hempstead, and I have the software updated (no notification though, typical!) but can't access the new service as apparently the servers for Hemel hempstead VOD aren't turned on yet?! I was under the impression i was getting tv off the Luton servers, and yet peeps in Luton are reporting their VOD is working?

    Unless there's a new version I've had that for something like 6 months (apparently Glasgow was 1 of the first areas to get it).
    Tbh I tried it once or twice when new but never since (mind you I never used the old frontRow service either).

    Lucky for you!
    Does it actually work that well?
    I have an old pace box and its slower than anything! Mind you the new software seems to have sped it up a little bit here and there

    Some things, like the BBC content (Eastenders, Dr Who) etc are free, including some ocassional special promotions.
    Others Range between £0.20 - £3.99 for 24 hour access im told.
    The more expensive being the ppv movies

    Yeah that's right, but I still see no sign of the VOD appearing in the On Demand menu...
