Hi there

Sadly had to leave HomeChoice due to a move outside their area.

They confirmed that they will be going national over the next few months, with a new High Definition box with PVR.

:O)

old new sorry to say most people who use homechoice got a letter feb/march before the rebrand
we know that Tiscali is hoping to start a national rollout from july and introducing there new set top box with pvr
hopefully they will include a few extra lights on the fromt of it to tell you that the tv section is switched on and maybe internet too upload download sort of thing!!
but maybe hoping too much really

From the sounds of things it will be a seperate modem and STB so you'll be able to know whats running.

from what i've been told it's all in one set top box
but you never know with hc/tiscali

The old box was but the new one will be seperates

Hope it won't be in two boxes, I really don't want more wires and clutter!

According to Stuff Magazine (May 2007 page 44) the new box will have 160 GB hard drive for recording programmes, will support hi definition and it also incorporates a broadband modem and wireless router.

From the picture it looks quite different to the current box.

Looks very intersting.

Got a scan of it?

Can you post the articale and picture please

All very exciting all this
everybodys eyes are sparking with this sort of news

Tiscali may launch this year, then again they may not! Considering they have been launching in January - February - March - April - now July??

Yeah i'll believe it when i see it!

Plus their prices are ludicrous!!

They have been running a test in 30,000 homes in inner London for the last 5 months and still cannot get it working properly.

where do you get your info from?

carnt see why tiscali carnt get it to work
homechoice did for almost 10 years now

The new box has always been scheduled for July, the rebrand was scheduled for Feb, and happened in Feb.


Works fine...

I guess Tiscali are waiting for the new box (and/or roll-out in new areas) before launching/advertising the service fully to new customers. I've got to commend them for that, at least it sounds like they're trying to get it right first time!

I assume the the 30,000 homes are their existing customers. Like me. The existing service works perfectly well.

The new box will be ADSL 2+ I hope. The specs 160Gb, HD, wifi are as you would expect - its the same basic STB that all companies use with either a cable, ADSL or satellite modem.

I hope it will be July but this is now at least a year late, but once we've waited this long hopefully the service will be worth it.
I have superb 1080p projector waiting for it.

Unfortunately I don't have a scanner!

I'm still undecided about keeping HC when I move house in a couple of months. My line has been down 4-5 days a month on average for each of the past 6 months. They won't quite say what the problem is, but it's clear it's specific to my line.

If I move house and get a new Tiscali TV account then I'll be on the new Tiscali system, which isn't as good as the old HC one was. Is this right, or totally unfounded?

At present, other than trialists for Tiscali IPTV, all other TV customers are on the old Homechoice network so, providing you go to a servicebale area, you will be on the same network. May be worth double checking first though as if you live in an area that would eventually fall under the IPTV network, you won't be offered the service on the old network - confusing? yes!

What issue of the magazine should I be scanning?

I think this one?

So in other words last months edition
as this months edition is june's why "o" why do they do that
