Re: Meteor

["Stuart Whyte" <stuart@xxxxxxx>]

Alan,

I was told by Telewest customer services that only a selected few CID=20
units work on their lines and when asked about the meteor I=20
got "There's no chance it will work, cause it aint on the list" 
so=20
even though NTL SAY it won work doesnt mean it wont!!  AFAIK NTL and=20
Telewest use the same standard, although I could be wrong.
