I still think it's a pointless fad. You get a fuzzy, blurry picture, for which you have to wear a pair of sci-fi sunglasses in
order to view it as something you'd see in HD on a normal HDTV, but without the need to wear a silly pair of specs!
I could emulate that effect very cheaply tomorrow for maybe no more than a tenner, by going to Bury Market,
buying a cheap pair of shades, and wearing them while I watch something in 1080 HD on my Bravia HDTV!
Not with the 3DS or several currently developed tellies. No glasses needed.

A friend of mine says that ONmail was still working until a couple of years ago! something due to it being supplied by an external company.
Meanwhile (sorry for the off-topic-ness) I still have a 2001 TiVo working on a second set at my parents' house - we purchased a "lifetime subscription" so we haven't paid anything for nearly ten years, but it is all still updated via the phoneline. Whilst it's bulky, and connects to a seperate STB rather than having it's own tuner, and it only carries about 12 hours of video at the highest quality (40 at lowest) - it's still the most stable PVR I've ever used. Never once crashed on me.

IIRC, it did but it wouldn't show you the E-Mail icon (presumably because ONdigital/ITV Digital themselves pushed it down one of their multiplexes).

bizarrely, if you'd made that in the Virgin thread it would be 100% on topic

Presumably the type of device (keyboard or remote control) must be sent too.
When you press a button on the remote it actually tends 2 IR signals to the box: one with the request and the other with battery status.

Unless the signal for the keyboard is different to the controller.
