BT Infinity for new build

Hi,
I've tried searching the forum but can't seem to find posts that are related to my situation.
Basically I'm moving into a new build. There isn't a phone line yet. The postcode checker doesn't think BT Infinity is available, so I can't order.
However, as advised by the FAQ at http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/BT-Infinity-Availability-FAQs/td-p/181603, I checked on the wholesale checker www.btwholesale.com/adslchecker and it says it's all available. Any advice please?

Coaxial cable for new build installation

Hi folks, We are waiting on the completion of a new build and as part of our list of requests of the developer they have agreed to fit Sky TV cables for us while they are doing the rest of the first fix. We were invited round yesterday to view the work so far and it looks like they are fitting two runs of their standard coaxial cable rather than the "shotgun" type satellite cables that we're used to Sky installers fitting. Will this standard coax be suitable for HD and be future proof against UHD broadcasts? Many thanks!

It really depends on what type of coax it is. For best results it should be WF100 coax cable or its equivalent (foam dielectric, with both copper braiding and copper foil screening). Sky use 'shotgun' WF65, I believe.

OS for new build w/K8N Neo4 Platinum

I will be building a new machine using an MSI Neo4 Platinum mobo. This is my 1st build. I have a registered WIN98 SE installation disk but fear it won’t work as MSI advises nvidia 4 chipset will not work with it. I do not want any more hassles than I already anticipate. Is it possible to buy the Pro Upgrade and do a direct install without 98 SE being installed or do I have to buy the full Pro? Concern being that by installing 98 first, I will trigger mobo errors prior to even getting a chance to upgrade. Thanks.

Again thanks to everyone; Hansh & Mike, you appear to have some experience with using the Upgrade, so let me ask you a question. Have you ever done it with this board in particular? The concept I believe would be that during the upgrade, the board itself doesn’t know (recognize) the OS until the install is complete, therefore it has no idea that SE was ever present, correct? To follow this train of thought – in order to insure that no remainders of SE are left hanging around on my HD prior to initiating this install, I would probably be best off if I started with a clean HD versus putting the old HD w/SE installed in; do you agree or should it make no difference?
Continuing, re: use of upgrade and hassles. I’m a college student and classes start next week, so I need to do this ASAP hence reduce hassle potential. The economics of all of this are: Upgrade via Bookstore is $71.00; best Home OEM is same amount; XP Pro OEM is $95. Dollar wise Upgrade makes best sense if hassle free; but some are saying go full OEM as no hassle. What’s the consensus (p.s. concern w/OEM = hassles w/MS during repeated changes I will be making to hdwre configuration as part of my install as will be adding one piece at a time to check for failures as I go. Thanks.

Questions on Marvell vs. intel Raid setup for new build

I’m getting ready to do my first build this weekend, and had some questions on the Asus p9x79pro motherboard’s raid controllers. They are:
What is the difference between the Marvell controller and the intel software controller?
Why would I use one over the other?
Do the Marvell raid controllers need to be pre-installed using the F6 method, same as the intel raid controllers?
Here is my planned drive arrangement, feedback appreciated.
(1) Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - OS (win7 64 bit), pagefile, & programs, 6gb sata on SSD caching port
(2) Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - RAID 0 Media and projects, 6b sata port
(1) Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - media cache & renders
(1) WB Black 32mb cache 3.0 Sata - Exports and non video file storage
Asus BD burner on 3gb port
Thanks

What is the difference between the Marvell controller and the intel software controller?
I haven't tested it, but rumors are that Intel is marginally faster than Marvell.
Why would I use one over the other?
It depends on the number of ports in your system. That can be motherboard dependent.
Do the Marvell raid controllers need to be pre-installed using the F6 method, same as the intel raid controllers?
No. You can define a raid after you installed your OS by simply going into the BIOS.
On my motherboard, I have 2 Intel SATA 6 G ports and 2 Marvell SATA 6 G ports. The rest are SATA 3 G.
If that is the same in your case, I would do the following:
Crucial M4 on Intel SATA 6G
WD Black on Intel SATA 6G
2 x WD Black/64 on Marvell SATA 6G in raid0
WD Black/32 on Intel SATA 3G
DVD/BDR on Intel SATA 3G
one SATA 3G for eSATA connection.

Downloading Adobe Apps for New Build

I have a new system arriving this week, and would like to dl my Adobe apps in readiness, (Photoshop CS5, Premiere Pro CS5, inDesign CS5 & Lightroom 3) . So do I just dl the Trial versions and then use my keys and reactivate? It is not clear from the Adobe Download page, and my Internet connectionn is sluggish at the moment while one of those trail versions is dowloading.

Thanks. I did have some of the installation files, and tracked down the download page for the others. You just have to go to your orders history and the links are there. I shall try and be more organised in future and keep a New Installation folder on my back up drives.
I had a bizarre experience while searching. A chat window popped up and I was messaging with an Adobe help person, but they did not seem to understand English, and took forever to reply. They didn't give me one useful bit of advise. It was a relief when the message window dropped out and I could go back to finding the info myself!

Download link for new build of AFCS?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find the download on
the labs site or anywhere else....

Hi Rick,
Yup, gotta get it through the dev portal - our main factors
there is that you must be logged in to get the SDK, and you must
have made it through the Terms of Use check in order to log in.
This makes sure that anyone accessing the SDK is legally promising
not to redistribute it, or any other mean stuff.

New Build Connection Problems

Hi,
Hoping someone can help me with their past experience or knowledge. I have been in my new build home for a couple of weeks now and am struggling to get a phone/fibre optic connection. Both BT and the OpenReach address checkers have absolutely no information regarding my address even though I have seen both of their vans working down our street (and I confirmed that they were working on the phone lines).
When talking to BT I was told I would need to pay for £130 for a line installation in order for them to tell us what services we could use?!! So potentially I would be out of pocket for nothing, perhaps even unusable broadband.
The street just down from mine is established and shows fibre optic available and taking orders, so I guess my question is who do I need to talk to in order for my new address to get registered too? I find it really weird that the process for new builds is so convoluted and people face massive delays getting connected...
Cheers.

Hi thorny,
Welcome and thanks for posting. You can check what's available using the post code at bt.com. If that doesn't help drop me an email with the details and I'll check it for you. You'll get the 'contact us' link in my profile.

Is BT Infinity Available to New Builds ...

Hi,
I know there are several posts about this, but 1 more wont hurt.
I previously had BT Infinity, and frankly, loved it. I had the full 40 down 10 up and couldn't rate the service high enough. Perfect.
I moved house a couple of months ago, to a new build - im connected to the Wantage exchange. Big Yay, its infinity enabled! A friend of mine lives just across the road, in one of the pre-existing houses and he has Infinity - I thought I would join up again after my awesome experience before!
However, it seems that I cannot get Infinity - for reasons I cannot yet fathom. The postcode checker states that its available in my area - I know this is not so reliable. I have also checked with my phone number which states that it is not. Strange.
I had a chat with a few of the neighbours .. Also on the new build development ... in fact 2 doors away, and they are having Infinity installed ....
So my question is ... What's wrong with me ... Do BT not like me anymore? Or, as I suspect is more likely, is there an error in the data somewhere and I have simply been omitted ... We were one of the last houses to be built so its entirely possible.
In case the mods take pitty on me, I have PM my details. It would also be useful if you could let me know which Cabinet im on, there are 2 close by, both of which are the Infinity cabinets (Seem Like new installs as there are no older ones).
Thanks
Roebuck

Just thought I would update this thread for the mods.
I have had a phone line problem this week and have duly had an engineer out. All went well Phone is fixed - Even turned up on time!!
Whilst he was here I cheekily asked about Infinity, which he stated should be no issue, as I practically live on the exchange in terms of cable length, and im connected to CAB 26, which is fibre enabled and right on the exchange.
He did also state that the postcode in which I live does not exist on the BT and Openreach system - Odd, its been registered with Royal Mail for 3 months - new Sat Navs can find it ...
Anyway, I will wait for the update from you guys, please bear the above in mind if you are checking any databases, I suspect they are incorrect.
Thanks
Roebuck

Free Youview box for new BT infinity customers

Does anyone know how to get the free youview box for new BT infinity customers? Ordered new service on 12th Dec and called in later to check how/when I'll get the Youview box. The CSR told me that I had to call after the broadband was installed to arrange to get the box and I would have to pay £5/mo for the TV service but according to the BT site, it's supposed to be free for BT infinity customers and £5/mo for other broadband customers (+ the £49 activation fee for all customers).
As I understand it, the offer ends 31st Jan but my infinity broadband is not scheduled to be installed until this Friday, 1st Feb (after a whole lot of aggravation, wasted time, incorrect info and failed follow-up by various BT reps). I'm afraid if I call in afterwards, I'll be told that I missed the deadline to get the box and/or I have to pay the monthly fee even though I'm a BT infinity customer.
Since BT phone reps have been unreliable, can anyone provide info on this? Thanks for your help

I wasn't aware I had to do this when I signed up. So you're saying even though my line isn't installed yet and I'm a new customer, there's no way to get this if I didn't add this at the time of order even though I know this offer was active when I signed up? When I signed up, there wasn't an option to add free TV service for 12 months for Infinity so I didn't add the service offered at £5. Would BT really use loopholes and technicalities to avoid providing something they've offered and put up billboards everywhere to promote?

Price difference for new BT customers for Infinity...

BT are currently offering a BT Infinity 1 package at an online price of £15 a month. If I try to order online , after filling in my details the order always fails but as an existing BT adsl customer it appears that I can only upgrade to infinity for £18 a month. Is this offer only available to new customers and if that is the case it seems terribly unfair. What price loyalty!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Good luck with the options team - i tried them today and they wouldn't budge. There's a lower price for new customers and a higher price for exisiting.
I am out of contract and have been waiting to see what happened with BT Sport before making a decision whether to stay with BB and TV or go elsewhere. I have been very patient for the last 12 months with the new Vision box and the horrendous & numerous problems we've had and this is the reward we get for our loyalty. When I said i could go to a well known satellite broadcaster for not much more per month I experienced a speech saying how much better BT Sport will be than them and that BT have more premier league matches and more sport etc etc !!! Not really true compared to what I've read about what BT are showing.
Obviously new customer attraction is more important than loyal cutomer retention. MAC code becons I think.
Anyone else had any different experiences?

Getting Infinity in a new build

So, I am moving into a new build where other houses on the street/estate are showing as being able to get Infinity 2, howver my house number cannot. I believe this is because it doesn't have a phone line so it doesn't show up as available. I have booked to have a line installed and am hoping to then add infinity once it's activayed. has anyone else had experience of this? Am I likely to be able to order Infiity as soon as the line is active?
I can't believe its not possible to order a new phone line and infinity at the same time, but it seems like its a case of 'computer says no'
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't know if it is always the case that you must order broadband before infinity but others on the forum have reported that is what they have had to do. It may of course be that Infinity was not yet available in their area so had to do that as a stop gap.
I am aware that you don't yet have a phone line, it was to use after you had the phone line installed so that you could check you could definitely get Infinity. Obviously you can't check before you have a line. The best you can do is what you have already done and that is to check it is in the area.
