    was wondering the same thing...email and no further contact

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    At the risk of stating the obvious, they can't roll out the boxes as fast as they can send out the e-mails saying you've been accepted on the trial.

    At the risk of stating the obvious, there havent been too many posters telling us they've received their Horizon trial box in the last two weeks.

    At the risk of stating the obvious, not everyone who has the new box on trial is on boards or follows this forum even if they are a boardsie.

    Noticed when I'm changing channels it loses sound and the only way to get the sound back is to change to another channel and back again. Not happening all the time but enough for me (and my daughter) to start noticing it.

    So did you get the option to self install? And where did you have to pick up the box?

    Thanks

    If someone got a call about delivery of the new box, could they post the phone number that came up on their display please, it should be stored in your call log under 'received calls'.

    I just want to check in case I missed them, I have a few missed calls but don't want to call back in case it was some other crowd cold calling me.

    Im liking it so far aswell. I'm having problems setting up the home network and the picture doesn't seem to be as good on some channels and switching between them is a bit slow but overall a massive improvement on the old box. a remote with a keyboard would be really nice. haven't tried many of the apps yet but YouTube is perfect, layout a little odd tho. The number that rang me was 012571210. its different from the normal UPC number

    That's really cool! Are you able to sign into your YouTube account to get updates on your Subscribed channels?

    Must say I find the picture better quality all round and quicker to change channels.
    What problems are you having with the home network?

    No call yet (got the accepted email on the 12th) but just got another email there now saying "it won’t be long until you’re experiencing the full Horizon TV service in your own home" and a link to the app & website

    I've barely used it so far but ill have go after work tonight. The network problem could very well be my prehistoric pc and the picture quality could be sorted after adjusting a few settings hopefully.. Happy with what I've seen so far regardless.. I didn't see a log in for YouTube, but again, i wasn't on it for long.
