However, more disappointingly, the e-mail goes on to say that there's no time scale for this available at the moment.So, good news that something's going on in regard to accessing the EPG etc, but how long we have to wait for that development is at this time unknown. Guess I was just being a little to optimistic in hoping that I'd hear something along the lines of within the next six months, for example. Although of course, we shouldn't rule that out either I suppose!As updates go, its not much of a one, but at least we know something's being done.Darran ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faqwilliam lomas follow me on twitter: billbow_baggins ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
