tiscali tv availability

please advise me tiscali sent me a email saying tv service was now available in my area of Bury near Manchester so I booked a engineer to install it for me .When he arrived and set the box up to the phone line he couldn't get a signal he said the bandwidth was too wide could be caused by being too far from the exchange .It could be up to two years till it is available .The thing is how long do I wait to apply again .Tiscali are still emailing me to say tiscali tv is available in my area and has even rang me to see if I would like to upgrade to the sevice.

You could try and email Tiscali and explain the emails and the engineer said. You might get a better answer, although it might take a few emails.

To be honest, it sounds like it wont be available to you at all.

Tiscali have enabled the exchange you're connected to for Tiscali TV, but if you actually live too far away from the exchange, then the connection still wont be good enough for the TV service.

If it does ever come to your house, it will be if Tiscali switch their service over to using a different 'connection' type. Is Tiscali using ADSL2 yet or still just 'bog standard' ADSL?

I live in prestwich nr Manchester and tiscali eng,, told me I was to far away from exchange when he could nt get a signal,, I told him my next door nieghbour get tiscali tv broadband and his is ok,, he said i might bo on different exchange (we share same pole for our telephone cable)...so after one week I got in touch with tiscali and said i was having interferance on my telephone line so they sent out BT to check the line,,, he said there was a buzz on it so went to exchange and fixed it ..I got tiscali back again to set up tv and everything ok now except the remote won,t work sound,, and I cannot tune in a universel remote for unknown reason,.....

b.mac: I take it you realise that the TTV remote control doesnt change the Sound output of the TTV box? It can learn your TV's volume control signals and the replicate them so you only need 1 remote to control TTV and your TV's volume. I think the instructions are in the TTV manual. If you havent got the manual let me know and I will copy the instructions.

Thanks ched999uk
They didd,nt have an instruction book when installing but said they will send one to me ,,that was 14 Dec..I think I know how to learn one remote to other , will try it ,,The reason I want another remote is for its large keypads for my wife as she cannot handle the Tiscali remote (to complicated and pads to small and close together) Tiscali don,t do any other remotes they have told me. so I bought this new one, (TOP OFF RANGE SUPPOSEINGLY) but it wont work with Tiscali tsb another one for drawer unless someone knows how

I tried the learn could,nt do it,,

b.mac: Here are the instructions from page 7 in the TTV manual for TTV (dont know if TTV+ is the same).

1. Place your Tiscali remote and your TV remote so they are pointing directly at each other.

2. On the Tiscali remote press the menu and the information buttons (2 buttons above the up arrow) together. The indicator round the arrow buttons will blink twice.

3. On the Tiscali remote press the volume up button. The indicator around the arrow buttons will blink twice.

4. Press and hold the volume up button on your tv remote until the indicator around the arrow button on the tiscali remote goes out and then blinks twice.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the volume down keys.

I have a harmony 525 which I am intending to use for TTV but unfortunately I havent got round to setting it up with my new kit. I will try and set it up for the TTV to replace the TTV remote asap and let you know if it works.

Which universal remote did you buy?

hi ched999uk Success at last, using the learn I loaded each setup individual, when I loaded programs 1-2-3-4-5 they worked ok. but 6-7-8-9 not loaded stalled the lot and would no go back to 1-2-3-4-5 so I loaded 6-7-8-9-0 with LEARN, now I have full menu from 1 up to 999 programs. Everybody here is happy. (two remotes fully working)

Just to say Tiscali TV is working good and so is VOD, have,nt tried rentals yet,, but I am happy with TISCALI TV even if most is self taught without instruction book..(still waiting for post) ..Thanks again for your help.
