When Will Amstrad Owners Get The New Epg ??

TheAmazingDanny · 21-05-2009, 08:47

When you get the pack in the post.

There's no point making new threads, just read the ones already there to realise nobody really knows the exact schedule. Just wait your turn.

Amstrads are the going to be the last to get the new epg as it is the newest model.

A few hundred pages covering the new EPG for all HD box manufacturers.

LOL the paces havent even been completed yet, and the samsungs are a way off as well, at this rate you might get it by the end of the year!

chanandlerbong · 21-05-2009, 18:36

June 1st if you go by the met office definition. March 20th by another (vernal equinox), June 21st by yet another. There really isn't an 'official' one. (the closest is the legal definition: The Summer Time Act 1972 defined the period of British Summer Time to start at 02.00 GMT on the morning of the day after the third Saturday in March or, if that was Easter Day, the day after the second Saturday. It was to end at 02.00 GMT on the day after the fourth Saturday in October)

Personally I don't like the June 21st one as midsummers day is June 24th and summer is more than 6 days long!

So either they've already missed it or they've got about a week.

Which is brilliant, as they should have time to improve the bugs.
Love my Amstrad even with the contrast stuck on medium not high.

June 21st is the official American date, and this is often wrongly used by the UK media as an official start for summer in the UK. The US date works well for the North Eastern seaboard of the US but does not really work for the UK.

In the UK there is no fixed date for the start of summer it being entirely dependent on the weather. According to the met office it is usually around June 1st.

The Summer Time Act relates to Daylight Savings Time (which in the UK is known as British Summer Time for historical reasons) and has nothing to do with then summer itself starts or ends.

Thats if they ever give a choice, but yes you are right, as medium is perfect.

myromeo · 23-05-2009, 15:11

ours is stuck on medium too but as said, that is what i would have set it at anyway, besides, our TV allows for tweaking of the picture settings per input so can get it spot on

no rush for the new EPG, old one works fine

EDIT: Never mind I just found the other threads on this

byron_hinson · 19-09-2009, 09:17

2 months away so the engineer said today! Replaced my old thompson box so back to the old EPG - glad too though as it is so much faster

turbo10 · 20-09-2009, 08:53

Apparently I have been informed that Amstrads will get the new EPG in 2018 (lol) by which time we may all not be hear!

sophloz · 25-10-2009, 23:55

So its late October and Amstrad boxes STILL do not have the updated EPG. How has this taken six months?
