This is the first time I'd tried logging in since NY but it had my gamerscore correct so not sure why it wouldn't work. All seems to be well now though.

From CES:

Quote:

BT Vision customers with an Xbox 360 console will gain the option of accessing BT Vision from either the Xbox 360 console or a set-top-box. The service will be available to existing and future Xbox 360 console owners.

That's cool. If that turns out to be true I'd move the existing BT Vision box to the bedroom and gain a slot in the TV cabinet.

I had trouble with my GT after New Year Daz. When trying to sign on it kept saying that my gamer tag was invalid and was only fixed when I re-downloaded my tag.

Still having terrible trouble with xbox live. If it isn't sorted soon I think people will want more than 1 free arcade game.

Can't believe they wouldn't let you use your own.

Davey_Pitch · 07-01-2008, 11:33

It's down to my line not being active yet. I'm hoping when the line is active I can use my modem. The guy I spoke to though didn't seem to know too much about it all, so hopefully I'll get someone a bit more knowledgable tonight

You *can* use your own router no problem (my folks Sky broadband is currently powered by an old Linksys of mine), but it isnt supported. And to use your own router you still need the sky one in the first place, in order to extract the broadband username and password with a bit of jiggery pokery.

That was the one.

Ah, so he wasn't exactly wrong then. Looks like they use the exact same modem that I currently use myself. No point using my own modem instead then, may as well keep mine as a backup, though I will extract the username and password early in case I need them.

It's a rebadged DG834 yeah. Had a couple of them over the years and never had any issues myself, though the Sky one kept dropping the DSL connection so I switched it.
