Re: QUICK START
Yeah ... I know ... it was bad times all around. When it was 3, I got 1.2 ... when lowered to 1.5, I got 0.6 (Darned Terayon TeraPro platform!) Rogers were learning the ropes and unfortunately the cable plant topology laid by the private cable companies that Shaw bought in Toronto area was not up to the number of clients that exploded soon after Rogers and Shaw did their swap. So, one can't even totally blame Shaw. The network was good for cable ... just not good for 2way! |

| Yeah i got correct speeds on my TeraPro, lucky me... I remember the problems you and others faced... It was related to some kind of upstream multiplier, no?

Re: [ TV] Rogers STB remote lag/pause...SDV?
Sorry to say, but the New Brunswick rollout is of the iGuide on Motorola boxes... Does not work on Cisco/SA boxes. |

I recall reading documentation that specifically said both Motorola and SA equipment works with iGuide, also announced back in 2007: »www.businesswire.com/portal/site···sLang=en |

Port Perry, ON | Hmm, hadn't seen that before, thought I don't think it ever came to fruition. I've never seen iGuide on an SA box, anywhere. But even if it does happen, you're not in for a much better experience, believe me. |

Port Perry, ON | When I first went from SA guide to iGuide, I didn't like it. But over time I've come to like the iGuide better.... But by no means does it have much more functionality - it maybe looks nicer and is a bit quicker, but that's about it. |

If so, it's better than what Rogers offers now. |

Ok, so I just got the letter announcing the new IPG in January.
Fingers crossed it'll be faster than the current one. And that the Search feature won't suck. |

The new IPG is NOT a new Channel Guide. It is a front-end for previews, On-Demand and PPV services, a weather service, 4 games (Donkey Kong types), a couple of 6 channel mosaics.
Future versions may include a search feature. First push of the Guide button brings up the new IPG, a second push brings up the old Channel Guide. |
