Hi jimcracker7

I'd love to put more sites up, however I've only put the ones up that will work even with the firewall in place.

If you know of anymore that will work, feel free to leave your suggestions here and I'll put them up.

TeleWest have been trying out the TVInternet since early January, Customer Servicesonly find out about things that they've been briefed on.

This is another site I've found to work, why not give that a shot?

http://www.yoomedia.co.uk/news.asp

no luck with the yoomedia one

this is how i get on here,it might not show but here goes.

if it does you might have a different way of making up clickons for cable.

(THEN THE SITE NAME)
IN BETWEEN THE WWW AND UK WOULD BE THE SITE I.E.YOOMEDIA.
FINGERS CROSSED,HERE GOES JIM.

Err. sorry the addy was wrong:
http://www.yoomedia.com/aboutus.asp

That should work fine.
The reasons other sites don't work is because TW have a firewall in place(nothing to do with links)... the firewall was down before Christmas, while yoome2 was installed.

This hyperlink would open the hyperlink to fullscreen rather than in the email field:


That's the link all us digibox users use to access BBC sites

If you find more please feel free to post them

Don't know why this appear on my conversations . Hi anyway!

kow is right, you need the
TARGET="_blank" "_new" may apear to work but it don't, not always.

Also you may need a slash / before the closing "

ie.

h2g2

I have taken to include dna in the e-mail link I use...

h2g2

Thanks JAB

I didn't realise it still worked with dna in the URL.

i seem to have started something lol.there are strange replies coming up,the yoomedia one works thanks,ive made one on an email,along with the cnn, but the itv one blobbed,what goes inbetween the www. and target

i tryed itv.com and itv.com/news
with no joy,(when ive set up all three i can send to other cable users i know,it will make emails a bit more interesting since the internet ones blobbed jimxxx

Hi Jim

It's not ITV, it's ITN. I hope that helps

its ok im going senile in my old age,i,ll add it onto the email ive set up and check all three,then send on to a few people i know thanks.

if anyone sends me anymore that work i,ll contact you and thanks jim.

sorry about this but im still having probs with itn.

im putting in, http//www.itn.com'TARGET='_blank'> am i missing something out jim.

Hi Jim

A couple of mistakes, it should read:

ITN

Try that

it was me going senile lol i put in com instead of co.uk thanks again jim.

No worries Jim

ive plenty time om my hands being disabled,so i,ll try some
sites that could get through,such as history,education and so one jimxxx all three working thanks again(hopefully be in touch ltr

I'm glad they worked, anything for a fellow Yorkie

There's a few links on my old space(at the top and in the second dropdown), feel free to use them at: A968565

kow, "still" work's with "/dna/" in the URL?

If you do NOT include it, and try to specify the plain skin, as part of the e-mail anchor on a Digibox, you may suffer a TW 404.

However, include "/dna/" and you can...

h2g2-plain

Hi JAB

Why would you want to specify plain skin?
I just use:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2
You used to be able to add your U number to the end(with dna in) but TW disabled it a while back, I didn't know it had started working again

Yep you can put ".../plain/Unnnnnn" and go to your own space. Ideal for the lurker

You will then have the option to login .

If you put "/plain/U" wothout a number, you goto user 0.

Hmm thing's working that had stopped hmm may be down

Funny that, I'm always logged in automatically! Nope nothing down just checked

Why would I wish to specify "/plain/"

The first had a look at h2g2, it was over the sholder of another user, lurk, lurk

When I did have a go, it was all 'goo' to me Nice, fine, fab, on a PC, but on an STB eak. So I did not bother for a while, what with 'over style' and the memory>PACE thing.

The plain skin, has been a great boost. Possibly the skin's are still making it difficult for some people, I have spoken with. Remember LD, it was well defined, clear to follow, and easy to learn. Strange how yoomePOO is the exact opposite

So if new users get to see the palin skin from the off, without getting into setting prefrences, it may help.

Off to the bar for a bit... A bit of what I dunno
