Homechoice outage coming up
Brush Master
19-04-2005
Noticed HC Service News yet? Sounds like pretty substantial work at unusual, and unusually long, hours:

Quote:
“This work is scheduled to occur between 02:00 and 12:00 on the 19/04/05.(..) have to perform a 'Cold' reboot (...)”

Trouble as always is: if you don't read this by pure chance ahead of time, you end up spending hours in the support phone queue thinking it may just be you (or me, as it happened...).

Spreading the word thus.

Grateful for any insights as to the nature of the works (and no, don't say MPEG2 again).

Heh - funny thing is it mentiopns 0200 to 1200 today. You posted at 1341 - Almost two hours after the works' scheduled times.

Wonder if it went ahead at all?

I had to re-boot my box to get an internet connection this morning at about 10:00 so maybe they finished the work ahead of schedule.

do you think this was to support the mpeg4 toonami channel (ch 326)?

It's good to finally hear something concrete about MPEG4, though it's odd they've decided to launch another kids' channel - as there's obviously not enough already

Anyway, I didn't notice any interruption here today (reading this was the first I knew about it).

This happened to me at around 1am last night. Box switched off, then rebooted and displayed the Homechoice logo with the text "Your HomeChoice service is being updated, please wait". Then a minute later the box switched on again and all was fine.
